Swiatek appoints Osaka's former coach Fissette

World number one Iga Swiatek says she is "very excited" to get to work with Wim Fissette after appointing the Belgian as her new coach.

Swiatek, 23, parted ways with Tomasz Wiktorowski earlier this month after three seasons together with the Pole.

Fissette, 44, has worked with former Grand Slam winners Kim Clijsters and Angelique Kerber during his coaching career.

He split with Naomi Osaka in September, having helped the 26-year-old to two of her four Grand Slam titles over two spells with the Japanese star.

"I want to say that I’m very excited and looking forward to working with Wim," Swiatek said on Instagram.
