Iga Swiatek is back and ready to shine. After a brief hiatus following her split with coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, she has reunited with Wim Fissette, known for coaching stars like Naomi Osaka and Kim Clijsters. Fissette is eager to help Swiatek regain her form as the season wraps up. However, some analysts worried about the similarities between him and Wiktorowski. Leading to the relentless media scrutiny that took a toll on her. Now competing at the WTA Finals, Swiatek aims to silence the chaos surrounding her name.

After defeating Barbora Krejcikova with a triumphant 6-3, 6-4, Iga was rather open about her issues lately. Although the match tested her limits, it was the least of her concerns, “I had a lot of thoughts in my head about what was happening in Poland recently. I just knew that I shouldn’t think about it during the game. Even though I had a long break, I managed to regain my concentration and not think about the things that hurt me. I have to keep fighting and I remember that I’m playing for myself,” she shared on Canal+ Sport. Some would suggest that her concerns likely relate to recent reports about her team and psychologist Daria Abramowicz.

Musician Zbigniew Hołdys voiced his support for Swiatek during a Facebook Live session. “We’re talking about a girl who is one of the best players in the world. We’re not waiting for her success,” he remarked. He criticized the articles attacking Swiatek’s behavior instead of her performance. Noting that they “want blood to be shed,” as a way to say they only looked for trouble. He expressed frustration over the media’s coverage, likening it to wolves or hyenas circling their prey. Having been in Swiatek’s shoes, Holdys empathized with her, saying, “Anyone who has ever been f***ed by online hate and experienced a witch hunt on the internet.”

Swiatek is currently second in the orange group at the WTA Finals, following Coco Gauff’s 6-3, 6-2 victory over Jessica Pegula. The Polish star is looking sharp, sharing her training sessions with coach Wim Fissette on Instagram. All those hours of hard work are bound to pay off!

Despite all these reports in the Polish media in the last few weeks, Swiatek has kept her spirits high. Her loyal fanbase has been a source of strength during this challenging time. Swiatek is ready to show everyone that she’s here to stay!

Swiatek thanks her fans and team for their support during tough times

After her compelling match against Barbora, Iga Swiatek opened up about her comeback in a post-match interview. “It wasn’t easy. At the start, I felt rusty, but I’m happy I found a way to play more solid,” she said. Her fans played a crucial role in her victory, hearing their cheers from the stands she said, “I missed that. In tough moments today, hearing you guys scream helped me.”

After a tough stretch for the last two months, Swiatek is determined to reclaim her status. She’s confident about her return, stating, “I don’t feel rusty.” With new coach Wim Fissette by her side, she’s ready to take on the competition.

Now she’s aiming for victory this season. And Swiatek has the potential to repeat her success from last year when she won the WTA Finals undefeated! With 1,500 points up for grabs in Riyadh, she can close the gap on Sabalenka and reclaim the No. 1 ranking.
