Overview
- Swiatek confirmed Tuesday in Stuttgart that Rafael Nadal’s longtime assistant Francisco Roig will run her team as head coach following last month’s split with Wim Fissette.
- She completed a trial block at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, where Nadal joined sessions to offer on‑court feedback before she and Roig flew to Germany.
- Swiatek said the reset targets a new service motion with a more bent elbow plus a sharper baseline pattern, changes she expects will need time to become automatic.
- Practice clips from Stuttgart show her hitting stronger first serves, and she opens against home favorite Laura Siegemund on Wednesday after a first‑round bye.
- She kept psychologist Daria Abramowicz and trainer Maciej Ryszczuk on her staff and pushed back at Polish media as critics at home faulted her decision to skip Poland’s Billie Jean King Cup tie, which Ukraine won 4–0.
