Overview
- Iga Swiatek confirmed she will miss Poland’s qualifier against Ukraine and remains without a head coach after ending her partnership with Wim Fissette.
- Reports indicate she is training in Mallorca at the Rafa Nadal Academy, with former Rafael Nadal team member Francisco Roig linked as a trial option.
- The Polish Tennis Association said talk of fans returning tickets “en masse” is false and cited a single return request in the past week.
- Swiatek’s absence leaves Poland without a top‑50 singles player as Ukraine brings in‑form names Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk to Gliwice.
- Analysts split on next steps, with Rennae Stubbs urging changes to Swiatek’s shot selection and serve while coach Rick Macci called her break “very smart” and tipped a clay‑court rebound, as she is expected to resume in Stuttgart before Madrid.
