Iga Swiatek fires Wim Fissette after surprise Magda Linette Miami loss, rumours swirl about Caroline Wozniacki's dad being replacement

Iga Swiatek has officially confirmed rumours that have swirled for the past day or so that the former World No.1 has parted ways with her coach Wim Fissette with the second half of the rumour mill not yet set but chimes with what has been reported.

Rumours on social media and Polish press pointed towards Fissette being fired and Piotr Wozniacki, the coach of former World No.1 and his daughter Caroline Wozniacki being introduced as the new face behind the Pole's set up which remains unchanged.

She thanked Fissette on social media and said she will take time to consider her next steps before making a decision as to her future in regards to her coaching set-up. Swiatek has not been in great form as of late and has been semi left behind when it comes to the other top names in particular with the revival of Elena Rybakina.

So in reality, this decision was always going to be made at some point other than a big upturn in form. She lost to Magda Linette early in Miami with Swiatek also enduring a poor Sunshine Double last year with a famous loss to Alexandra Eala. She then performed poorly on clay which is of course her main surface but she then ironically emerged again on grass which is her least favoured winning Wimbledon.

Fissette joined Swiatek's team in October 2024 following the Pole's split with Tomasz Wiktorowski. Under the Belgian's scope, she has won three titles including Wimbledon albeit it has failed to achieve success regularly.

"Sometimes life and sport bring moments like this... Miami was challenging for me. I feel disappointment, bitterness and responsibility for my performance on the court of course. I’ve also learned a lot of important lessons and I think that’s very human

That being said, after many months of working together with my coach @fissettewim I’ve decided to take a different path. It was an intense time full of challenges and many important experiences. I’m grateful for his support, experience, and everything we achieved together - including one of my biggest dreams in sport.

Wim, thank you for this time and for the lessons I’ve learned thanks to you. I wish you all the best - both professionally and personally. The rest of my team remains unchanged. I know there are many questions, but I’ll let you know what’s next at the right time. I’m taking a moment to take care of myself, process this experience, and prepare for a new chapter. Simply, step by step, because as I often say - it’s a marathon, not a sprint.Thank you for your support. See you soon.
