Swiatek Splits With Fissette as Reports Link Coach Search to Roig at Nadal Academy

The move leaves little time before the clay swing to fix a shaky serve.

Overview

  • Iga Swiatek has ended her 17‑month partnership with coach Wim Fissette and is training at the Rafa Nadal Academy while she searches for a new lead coach.
  • Media reports link a trial with ex‑Nadal coach Francisco Roig in Mallorca, and academy coach Joan Bosch has said he asked for a joint session.
  • One Polish report also claims Rafael Nadal advised Swiatek to consider Roig, though neither Swiatek’s camp nor Roig has confirmed the link.
  • Her results have slid in 2026, including a first‑match exit in Miami that she called her “worst nightmare,” after finishing runner‑up at Indian Wells.
  • Emma Raducanu’s coach Mark Petchey said her serve has become too mechanical and slower on the second ball, which he argues puts her under pressure from the first shot.
