To replace Tomasz Wiktorowski, with whom she had three years of success, world number 1 Iga Swiatek chose Wim Fissette, former coach Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka, Angelique Kerber, Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep.
In comments collected by The eveningthe Belgian coach spoke for the first time since the start of his collaboration with the five-time Grand Slam winner.
“His manager contacted me about ten days ago. He wanted to know if I was interested and available. After the end of my collaboration with Naomi (Osaka, Editor’s note), I was hoping to receive a phone call from another player, and if possible from a person like Iga. It is obviously a great honor. And very special to be able to coach a world number 1. Iga is probably the best Tennis athlete of all time. She is very fast, defends extremely well, is very solid. And she puts a lot of spin on the ball, which makes it difficult for her opponents. »
