In 2022, Wiktorowski became the coach for Swiatek, after she had already achieved one Grand Slam victory in her career. He helped her attain four more Grand Slam titles, including three consecutive French Opens.
With his guidance, Swiatek became the first Polish player to reach the top rank in the world in April 2022, and she has spent 123 weeks as number one.
Looking for a new coach
Swiatek admitted that it would take a few weeks to begin working with her new potential coaches, and she had talked to some of them already.
Earlier, she withdrew from the China Open due to personal reasons.
