A few weeks ago, news broke: Iga Swiatek broke off his professional relationship with Tomasz Wiktorowskithe coach with whom he achieved the greatest success in his career.
It was a significant decision that increased in impact after the world number 1 resigned from playing in the two most important tournaments at the end of the season: Beijing and Wuhan.
In total, there have now been six weeks without the Polish player competingwho is expected to return in early November for the WTA Finals played in Riyadh.
He, for the moment, chose to remain silent, a silence that Wiktorowski had recently broken to emphasize that their split “was done respectfully on both sides and no amount of fake news can change that.”
For the trainer”There has been a lot of speculation and innuendo… Absolutely too muchconsidering that the message issued refers to our decision accurately. It is enough to read it with understanding, not with the aim of seeking sensations. Our end of the relationship was carried out with respect for both parties and no fake news will change that,” he told Polish media ‘Przeglad Sportowy Onet’.
“I think, in general, we had a very good relationship with the team. During three years of intense cooperation, it was impossible to avoid difficult situations, but, even so, we always found a way to reach an agreement and return to Iga is on the right path and everything related to preparing a player at the highest level is always a priority for us. It’s just a necessity. We have never made a sudden and, above all, thoughtless decision.” concluded Wiktorowski.
