Overview
- Swiatek is training on clay at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca with new coach Francisco Roig, with videos also showing Rafael Nadal hitting with her.
- The change followed her split from Wim Fissette after early‑season losses, with Fissette saying in a new interview that at the highest level the coach has to go when results slide.
- Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who worked briefly with Roig in March, said he learned of the split from his agent and called the switch ruthless.
- Perricard has moved on by bringing in former US Open finalist Greg Rusedski, who said they are on a trial through Wimbledon and has started work with him in Monte Carlo.
- Roig’s long run in Nadal’s camp and his clay know‑how are cited as the draw, and Polish figure Wojciech Fibak says his low‑conflict style suits Swiatek’s tight team ahead of Stuttgart starting April 13.
