Overview
- Iga Swiatek appointed Francisco Roig as her full-time coach for the upcoming clay swing.
- The change followed a dip in results capped by a Miami loss to Magda Linette that preceded Wim Fissette’s exit.
- Roig worked for years with Rafael Nadal and is prized for clay-court tactics that supporters say can rebuild Swiatek’s faltering forehand.
- ATP player Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard said Roig left his team without telling him and called the departure a ruthless move.
- Swiatek withdrew from Poland’s Billie Jean King Cup tie to reset and is entered for the Stuttgart Open as the likely debut for the new partnership.
