“So sad, didn’t see this coming”, “Definitely a loss” – Fans shocked by Iga Swiatek’s “unexpected” separation from coach Tomasz Wiktorowski

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek announced on Friday, October 4, that she would no longer work with coach Tomasz Wiktorowski. His three-year stint as her coach helped the Pole with four of her five Grand Slam titles. Fans reacted to the development, with several left shocked and opining that it is a big blow for the five-time Major winner.

The 2022 French Open marked Swiatek’s second Major title and the first under Wiktorowski’s tutelage. The Pole also added the 2022 US Open and 2023 and 2024 French Open titles to her collection guided by her compatriot, who formerly coached the now-retired Agnieszka Radwanska.
