Wim Fissette, fresh from leading Iga Swiatek to Wimbledon glory earlier this month, has made some rather startling comments about his future within the sport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After all, he has only been partnered with the Polish superstar for nine months, with the success they have already achieved being really impressive.<\/p>\n

And yet, if his claims are to be over-analysed, the allure of the ATP Tour might one day prove too strong.<\/p>\n

However, whilst speaking to the Tennis Insider Club<\/a>, he made it clear that his plans, or hopes to transition into that area of the sport, are far from immediate.<\/p>\n

In fact, they\u2019re nothing but theoretical for now. <\/p>\n

Iga Swiatek\u2019s coach admits he finds coaching on the ATP Tour \u2018interesting\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fissette did, however, provide great insight into the differences between coaching on the men\u2019s and women\u2019s tour, and how he personally might adapt were he ever to make the switch.<\/p>\n

He began by denying any suggestion it would happen soon: \u201cNot necessarily. I\u2019m actually happy and proud to be a WTA coach. I enjoy working with women.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like, maybe one day, to work with someone on the ATP, but I would not see it as an upgrade.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be an interesting experience, but I don\u2019t see it as like that would be better for me. No, I am happy as a WTA coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as a challenge at some point it would be interesting. But I have never had any offers from the ATP.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think that going from WTA to ATP, I think it\u2019s easier to go from ATP to WTA.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes many weeks after Fissette explained how coaching Swiatek is different from Naomi Osaka<\/a>, with the former having just overtaken the latter on Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n

Wim Fissette will surely stick with Iga Swiatek for the foreseeable future<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the steady progress made under his guidance, culminating in that remarkable Wimbledon<\/a> title earlier this month, there\u2019s no reason why Fissette would be looking for a chance anytime soon.<\/p>\n

And similarly, Iga Swiatek<\/a> only now seems to have recaptured her motivation after going so uncharacteristically long without a trophy.<\/p>\n

All of a sudden, the narrative surrounding the 23-year-old has shifted, and she enters this North American swing of the tour as a favourite to compete for the very best honours.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, it\u2019s not expected that these comments will have any bearing on what the future holds for this partnership.<\/p>\n

It has, thus far, been an overwhelming success. And this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n

What Fissette and Swiatek could achieve together is limitless, and it\u2019s really exciting to imagine what the future holds for them both.<\/p>\n

The ATP may interest him, but it is definitely not in his immediate plans.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wim Fissette, fresh from leading Iga Swiatek to Wimbledon glory earlier this month, has made some rather startling…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":99909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[22298,62,1464,67,132,68,65248],"class_list":{"0":"post-99908","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-iga-swiatek","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-tennis","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-wim-fissette"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114932035317461318","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
