The old no. One of the main reasons for the new form of Pol on grass slopes is the presence of his team capable, who is headed by his coach, Wim Fisette.
Iga Swiatek welcomed Fisette to her team at the end of last year, ending her very successful collaboration with Tomasz Wiktorowski. Fish It is one of the most respected names when it comes to training on the WTA circuit, as he has worked with several players who had been players number 1. He has won important titles with the tastes of Naomi Osaka, Simona Halep and Kim Clijsters, among others.
However, the arrival of Fisette coincided with a drought of the title for a year for Swiatk. Pol last won a tour of the Open in France last year. Since then he had reached several semifinals, but he had been almost each time, included against Madison Keys to Melbourne and Aryna Sabalenka in Paris this year.
The main objective of the new hiring was that Swiattek be more successful outside the mud court. When Fisette joined his team last year, he pointed the service of the Pol and the hand, which were technical liabilities on faster surfaces. The Belgian coach said that the old world number 1 focused more on his opponent's play style instead of his fastest surfaces.
“Surely our goal is to better do the faster services, if we can improve the service,” said the 44 -year -old. “I think on fast surfaces sometimes try to play the game of fast players instead of keeping in their own game and going a little further back. Their service, of course, there is room to improve, but I also think that the front can be heavier and faster, and we can add elements of variation to their game,” said Fisette in an interview.
Wimbledon's final is only Switek's second final under Fisette coach, after reaching the final in Bad Homburg, where he lost against Jessica Pegula.
Iga Swiatek, sowed until the eighth, was not part of the tournament's favorites before Wimbledon. However, he worked slowly through the draw, starting with a 7-5, 6-1 against Polina Kudermetova in the first round, and then won 5-6, 6-2, 6-1 against Katy McNally in the second round.
One of the significant steps for Iga Swiatek in Wimbledon was his 6-2, 6-3 victory over ex-top-10 Danielle Collins In the third round. The departure of Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff in the previous rounds opened the way to Swiatk for a deep race, and won 6-4, 6-1 against Clara Tauson in the fourth round and then won 6-2, 7-5 against Liudmila Samsonova in the quarterfinals.
Swiatek's most complete performance in the tournament reached the semifinal, as he won 6-2, 6-0 against the former Top-5 player Belinda Bencic. This would be the first time that Swiattek would face Anisimova on the WTA senior tour, after losing against the American once in his junior career.
