Polish tennis star Iga Świątek has parted ways with coach Wim Fissette following a shock first-round exit at the 2026 Miami Open.
The world No. 3 announced the split via Instagram on Monday, opting to take a “different path” after losing to Magda Linette.
“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,” she wrote.

“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.”
Under Fissette’s guidance, Swiatek was able to win her sixth Grand Slam title and her first at Wimbledon last summer.
