Iga Swiatek's ex coach Wim Fissette reveals real bond with psychologist Daria during tense Miami loss phase

Iga Swiatek is facing questions again, and this time it is not just about her game. Her former coach Wim Fissette has shared what he saw inside her team, especially her close bond with psychologist Daria Abramowicz.

This comes right after Swiatek’s early loss in Miami and their sudden split. Fissette joined her team in late 2024 and helped her win big titles, including Wimbledon. But even with those wins, her form kept going up and down. The Miami loss to Magda Linette ended her long first-round winning streak and raised more concerns. Soon after, Swiatek admitted she was low on confidence. That moment changed everything, and the focus quickly shifted to what was happening inside her team.

Iga Swiatek and Daria Abramowicz bond explained by Wim Fissette during tough phase

Speaking to The New York Times, Fissette gave a clear picture of how things worked behind the scenes. He said he joined a group that had already been together for years. Abramowicz and fitness coach Maciej Ryszczuk were already very close to Swiatek.Because of that, Fissette felt like an outsider at times. He also pointed out a simple but important issue, language. Swiatek and Abramowicz often spoke in Polish during matches, which made it harder for him to step in quickly.

During matches at Indian Wells and Miami, it was clear who Swiatek leaned on more. She kept turning toward Abramowicz, often having intense conversations mid-match. Fissette noticed it but did not criticize it. Instead, he explained it in a calm way.“She has been working with the same people for a lot of years, and she’s been super successful for years,” he said. “It’s normal that in, let’s say, challenging times, that she kind of goes back to these people or maybe wants more from these people.”His words showed understanding, not frustration. Still, the situation has sparked debate among fans, especially as Swiatek’s on-court reactions have looked more tense lately.

Iga Swiatek hires Francisco Roig after Wim Fissette split ahead of clay season

After parting ways with Fissette, Swiatek quickly made a new move. She brought in Francisco Roig as her coach. Roig is well known for his long time work with Rafael Nadal, where he was part of a team that won 22 Grand Slams.He also worked with Matteo Berrettini and briefly coached Emma Raducanu.

Now, he joins Swiatek at a time when she needs stability.Her 2026 season has not been strong so far. She holds a 12-6 record and has not gone past the quarterfinal stage in any tournament. That is unusual for a player of her level.Now, all eyes are on the clay season. It is her best surface, and with Roig’s experience on clay through Nadal, this partnership could help her reset. But questions about her team balance, especially her strong connection with Abramowicz, are still being discussed.
