Swiatek Wimbledon

Iga Swiatek's coach, Wim Fissette, has reviewed his protégée's 2025 season, which was notably marked by a new Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.

Swiatek had a mixed season. The Polish player, who did not win a single title during the first part of the season, won her sixth career Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, probably the least expected of them all.

But the world number 2 was ruthless against Amanda Anisimova, not losing a single game in the final. Her coach, Wim Fissette, reviewed the 24-year-old player's season and discussed her elimination in the group stage of the WTA Finals following a decisive match against that same Anisimova.

"The match against Anisimova at the WTA Finals was very tight, and it was decided by a few points. I think the level was very high for most of the match, both players served very well and the pace of the game never dropped.

The conditions in Riyadh are fast, the balls move very quickly, so the first two shots are always crucial. This was the case from the start, difficult for Iga (Swiatek) and rather favorable for the others, especially for players like Rybakina, Sabalenka, and Anisimova.

Mid-season, we decided to reverse the positions, both for the first and second serve. Some weeks it worked very well, while other times we struggled more to find the right placement.

I see this as a transition period, we are experimenting, we are trying to fine-tune everything and seek perfection. We are looking to add a bit more variety, to see her at the net more often.

It won't be a radical change, but rather a gradual one, even though we will continue to work a lot on groundstrokes so that Iga remains as dominant in the rallies.

The 2025 season will forever be special. You can win ten titles in a year, but the victory at Wimbledon and the way it was achieved will be remembered for years.

No one will ever be able to take that away from her, it was Iga's most spectacular performance," Fissette stated in an interview given to Sport.pl in recent hours.
