Iga Swiatek thanked her coach Wim Fissette after winning the Wimbledon final against Amanda Anisimova. The two began working together before her positive drug test, which was later deemed a result of a contaminated medication. Swiatek faced significant challenges in the clay-court season, experiencing unexpected defeats and pressure. Despite these struggles, she regained her composure during the French Open, which preceded her victory at Wimbledon. Fissette credited Swiatek's calmer focus on personal development and improvement over merely winning as key to her success.
Fissette acknowledged the high expectations placed on Swiatek, saying, '[It was] probably just very high expectations and then it was just getting too much.' He observed Swiatek's improved mindset, stating, 'she was really focusing on that more than about just winning, winning, winning.'
Despite her struggles during the clay-court season, Fissette noted, 'even in Paris she was already much calmer,' highlighting Swiatek's journey back to form, which continued through her successful Wimbledon campaign.
