Iga Swiatek explică problema cu antrenorul Wim Fissette la Miami Open.

Tennis fans hailed Iga Swiatek’s coach, Wim Fissette after cameras captured him calmly advising the Pole in a tense moment during her second-round match at the ongoing 2025 Miami Open. Swiatek, the WTA No. 2, ultimately came through the contest with a 6-2, 7-5 victory against Caroline Garcia.

Before Miami, Swiatek and Garcia clashed in the second round of the 2025 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Here, the Pole was rampant, registering a comprehensive 6-2, 6-0 win over the former WTA No. 4. In Miami though, things were much more complicated, particularly in the second set, where Swiatek trailed Garcia 1-3 at one point and also needed to save a set point while serving down 5-4.

Wim Fissette, who was appointed by Iga Swiatek as her coach last year, proved to be an able source of support for the Pole during the stressful moments. The iconic coach calmly urged the former No. 1 and five-time Major winner to remain brave, and footage of this later surfaced on X (formerly Twitter).

Several fans lauded the way Fissette went about encouraging Swiatek, with some bringing up the name of Daria Abramowicz, the Pole’s sports psychologist. Over the years, Abramowicz has repeatedly come under fire from fans over instances of questionable behavior towards Swiatek.

Most recently, she faced flak for screaming in the WTA No. 2’s direction during her loss to Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals of the 2025 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
