Iga Swiatek Fires Coach Wim Fissette: Here's Why

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."

The timing makes sense, as this is a critical juncture in Swiatek's season and career. The clay court season will soon ramp up, where Swiatek needs to excel on her favorite surface. Then she will have the added pressure of defending 2,000 points at Wimbledon this summer (grass has never been Swiatek's preferred surface).

Following her shocking defeat to Magda Linette in Miami, Swiatek admitted she had lost her confidence. "I haven't felt like this in probably over five years," said Swiatek. "Dropping this much in matches. I'll just have to try to get my confidence back."

Swiatek added, "I feel like I carry a lot of expectations when I'm on the court, and I need to get rid of them because my game has not been good enough to have any expectations. I'm a bit confused, but I'll just work hard to get it back."

The Polish superstar continued, "I know I have it in me, I just lost it for a second. This is the worst nightmare a top tennis player can have. Dropping in matches in a level like this. I need to live through this and figure it out."

Swiatek has a record of 12-6 with zero titles this season.
