Swiatek began racing with Wiktorowski at the end of the 2021 season. The pair captured four of Swiatek’s Grand Slam titles during their three-year partnership, and entered 19 of Swiatek’s 22 majors.
“Coach Wiktorowski joined my team for three seasons, when I really needed changes and a new way of playing,” wrote Swiatek. “His experience, analytical and strategic attitude and vast knowledge of tennis have helped us achieve things I never dreamed of in just a few months since we started working together.

“Our main goal was to be the number 1 player in the world and coach Wiktorowski was the first to say it. We aimed very high, we headed to every tournament with a clear goal to win it. Together with coach Wiktorowski we won many tournaments and 4 Grand Slams.”
Swiatek also announced his withdrawal from the Wuhan Open next week.
He said he is taking a few weeks off to start working with the new coach.
“I am in the middle of initial discussions with foreign (non-Polish) coaches,” he wrote. “Because I am ready to take the next step in my career. I will let you know when I make a decision.”
