Article Start --><\/p>\n<p>Iga Swiatek has taken another swipe at the Polish media following her decision to split from Wim Fissette and replace him with Francisco Roig.<\/p>\n<p>The six-time Grand Slam winner has had a difficult relationship with the media in her home country as things soured over the past two years as she came under heavy criticism following her slump in form in the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>After she failed to win any titles during the first half of the 2025 season, Polish media blamed her then-coach Fissette and psychologist Daria Abramowicz for her struggles, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-responds-harsh-unfair-statement-coach-wim-fissette\">Swiatek defended the Belgian<\/a> against the \u201cvery harsh and unfair\u201d criticism.<\/p>\n<p>She also praised Abramowicz for being \u201ca constant support for me, a person I trust\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-critics-hits-back-wimbledon\">she shut up her critics in the best possible fashion<\/a> by winning Wimbledon to complete the Surface Slam, stating: \u201cI\u2019ve got to say, unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn\u2019t really pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the back of another stuttering start to this season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/miami-open-iga-swiateks-full-statement-as-she-confirms-split-from-coach-wim-fissette-after-early-exit\">Swiatek finally decided to part ways with Fissette<\/a> following the Miami Open in March and appointed Roig as her coach.<\/p>\n<h2>Iga Swiatek News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/fed-cup\/iga-swiatek-under-fire-polands-bjk-cup-exit\">Iga Swiatek under fire after Poland\u2019s BJK Cup exit \u2013 \u2018When we need her, she\u2019s not there\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alex-eala-iga-swiatek-new-coach-practice\">Alex Eala and Iga Swiatek\u2019s paths have crossed at the perfect moment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, she also made it clear that the rest of her team will not be changed with Abramowicz staying on as sports psychologist and Maciej Ryszczuk remaining as her trainer\/physiologist.<\/p>\n<p>The six-time Grand Slam winner will finally make her return to action this week as she is playing at the Stuttgart Open.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference, it was put to the 24-year-old: \u201cYou pointed out the other part of the team is going to stay. I wonder if that is some sort of loyalty, as they were with you for such a long time?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She replied: \u201cNo, it was more for Polish media, which was super harsh to the whole team. There were a lot of, like, speculations. With one sentence I can basically cut them [shut down the speculation]. I just did that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn sports, if you want to go forward, obviously loyalty is great, but if something is not working, you need to react \u2019cause our careers are not long, you know? We don\u2019t have time to waste time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, the work that I\u2019m doing with Maciej and Daria, also me playing with my hitting partner for many, many years, I feel like it\u2019s working and it\u2019s a good process. So that\u2019s why I\u2019m not changing the rest of the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Poland, it was super chaotic with media, so I just wanted to get it out clear so fans can also know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix will be<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/why-francisco-roig-has-big-shoes-to-fill-as-iga-swiateks-new-coach\"> her first tournament with Roig in charge<\/a> and she is excited about what\u2019s to come following the \u201cpretty fast process\u201d of changing coaches in the middle of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, the process of changing coaches is for me always kind of tricky because I only did that twice in my life. So yeah, not easy decisions,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really happy to start with Francis. I was basically looking for someone with a good eye, really technical, but also a person that is experienced enough to help me through some different kind of situations. I feel like Francisco lived through everything probably on tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, for now it\u2019s going really amazing. It\u2019s a start. We\u2019re still getting to know to each other. Yeah, I\u2019m really excited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was honestly a pretty fast process. I was able to find a new coach pretty fast, which is a positive thing because obviously when you do that in the middle of the season, it\u2019s nice to have some security in that, so I could already have some even practice period with Francis in Mallorca. It was really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iga Swiatek explains why she won\u2019t change her team despite \u2018super harsh\u2019 speculation from Polish media Shahida Jacobs 15 Apr 2026 8:45 AM Iga Swiatek attends a WTA press conference Iga Swiatek has taken another swipe at the Polish media following her decision to split from Wim Fissette and replace him with Francisco Roig.
