A massive void was created in the coaching staff of Iga Swiatek after the Polish star announced the end of her partnership with Tomasz Wiktorowski, her fellow countryman. Despite working for years together and finding immense success, the end was imminent with Swiatek losing her form. While announcing this change, Swiatek also revealed that she is looking at a foreign coach to replace Wiktorowski. However, with the search continuing, a shocking name has emerged as Swiatek’s potential next coach.

According to several reports, it is rumored that Swiatek will be coached by the likes of Tomek Moczek and Dawid Celt, who also happens to be the husband of the former World Number 2, Agnieszka Radwańska. Additionally, Celt is also the captain of the Polish team for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. But if Celt works with Swiatek at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, he could face a major scheduling hurdle, with the Billie Jean King Cup Final not far away. While the WTA Finals ends on November 9, the BJK Cup Final commences on November 13.

“I am currently in initial talks with non-Polish coaches as I prepare to take the next step in my career. I’ll update you once I’ve made my choice,” Swiatek said while announcing her separation from Wiktorowski. Among the possible names that resurfaced to replace Wiktorowski were the likes of Brad Gilbert and Wim Fissette, who are Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka’s ex-coaches, respectively. However, with the search going on, the rumors suggest Swiatek might appoint Tomek Moczek or Dawid Celt as her interim coach for this season.

Many tennis experts have expressed concerns about how things ended between Swiatek and Wiktorowski. Despite a successful partnership, it was a sudden end, which not many would have foreseen. In addition to that, a Polish tennis expert also expressed concerns about Swiatek’s game.

Tennis expert calls the game of Iga Swiatek as ‘One Dimensional’

While there is no doubt that Swiatek has been a force to reckon with on clay courts, her game drops on the hard and grass courts. Interestingly, she has won 4 clay-court Grand Slam titles and just a solitary hard-court major title. She hasn’t been able to get beyond the quarterfinals at the Wimbledon Championships, highlighting her struggles on grass. As a result, tennis expert, Tomasz Wolfke, expressed concern about her game.

Wolfke said, “We don’t really know what happened in this team, but three years of cooperation in tennis is such a completely normal period, and during this period Iga and Tomek achieved stunning success together. However, recently there have been reservations about Iga’s playing style. I even always said in an open text that her tennis is too one-dimensional, but you can’t have a grudge against her either, because there is also a tennis school that says that we practice painfully what we do best and beat everyone with these two or three strokes, just like in the case of Iga.”

Amid these turbulent times, Swiatek will look to come back strongly as she aims to win back-to-back WTA Finals titles. She has skipped the Asian Swing of the WTA Tour due to personal reasons and a comeback at the WTA Finals in Riyadh remains likely.
