Coach Wim Fissette revealed a shocking truth after the world’s number one player, Iga Swiatek, fell out of the top 3 in the Italian tennis tournament. In a recent interview, Fissette announced that he would leave the Swiatek coach position, and gave a deep reason for this decision. “She violated the contract,” Fissette said. This is an easy statement, but according to him, Swiatek’s actions have surpassed the limit without denial.
The three reasons that Fissette made to explain their decisions are all related to the mistakes in the cooperation process between the two sides. First, Fissette said Swiatek did not comply with the commitment to maintaining a scientific and regular training regime, which Fissette thought was an important factor in helping her maintain a stable performance. “Every day, we have a specific schedule, but she did not comply with this recently,” Fissette said.
The second reason that Fissette offers is a matter of attitude and dedication during training. “A coach is not only the one who provides the exercises, but also leads the spirit of the player. Swiatek has no longer maintained the fighting spirit as before,” Fissette added. This attitude, according to him, has influenced Swiatek’s play results, most evident in recent matches.
Finally, Fissette also revealed that Swiatek has lacked communication with him during the past time. “We cannot work effectively without an open exchange. The lack of communication has created the gap between us,” Fissette said.
The decision of Fissette will definitely shock in the tennis village, especially when Swiatek is at the peak of his career and is considered one of the best players in the world today. However, for the reasons that Fissette made, this could be an essential decision for both sides. Fans and experts are waiting for the next steps of Swiatek in their career.
