London [UK], March 24: World number three Iga Swiatek has parted ways with coach Wim Fissette just days after her disappointing exit from the Miami Open.
The Pole suffered a shock second-round exit from the tournament at the hands of compatriot Magda Linette and saw her run of 73 successive opening-round victories on the WTA Tour come to an end.
The six-time Grand Slam winner hired Fissette in October 2024 and won three singles titles under him, including her Wimbledon title last year.
Swiatek posted on Instagram: "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.
"That being said, after many months of working together with my coach 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."
