Iga Swiatek Announce a major devotion to he husband due to…

World No 1 Iga Swiatek has announced she has split with her long-time coach Tomasz Wiktorowski.

The five-time grand slam champion said she is looking to appoint a non-Polish coach because she is “ready to take the next step in my career”.

Swiatek and Wiktorowski have worked together over the past three seasons as the 23-year-old established herself as the best player in the world, spending the past 123 weeks at the top of the rankings.

With Wiktorowski, Swiatek has won the last three French Opens in a row and lifted her first non-clay grand slam at the US Open in 2022.

But she has not reached the semi-finals of a grand slam other than the French Open since then and there is room for improvement in her game.

Wiktorowski had been part of Swiatek’s close-knit team that includes fitness coach and physio Maciej Ryszczuk and psychologist Daria Abramowicz.

After a busy summer, Swiatek did not play the Korea Open due to fatigue and withdrew from the China Open in Beijing citing personal reasons and said she is giving herself time to appoint a new coach.

“After three years of the greatest achievements in my care together with my coach Tomasz Wiktorowski we decided to part ways,” said Swiatek, who has also pulled out of next week’s Wuhan Open.

“I want to start with a big thank you and appreciating our work together. Coach Wiktorowski joined my team for three seasons, when I strongly needed changes and a fresh approach to my game.
