When world no. 2 accepted the trophy of his winner in Cincinnati at the beginning of this month, it was noticeable that the first person who thanked her coach, Vim Fissette. The two seemed to have been forging the terrible partnership.

Fissette, which won Major Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka, Angelikue Kerber and Naomi OsakaHe hired the world at the end of last year. Since then, he has played an integral role in its resources, focusing on several smaller technical adjustments.

It took time as well as players engaged in the fall to serve a one-month ban After testing positive for a prohibited substance of trimethasidine – which accepted anti-doping authorities, the consequences of contaminated Melatonin series used for jet. Her pattern slided and fought and was carried with expectations on the shoulder of clay. But the work that the couple in Presetly set up the foundations for their return.

“I’d say after Roland Garros, I kind of returned to my usual me,” Sviajtek told reporters about the night outdoors. “I would say that the process of learning all these things in the presenting species returned, and I certainly used it on Vimbledon and the Hard Court in Cincinnati.”

The Sviajte for the Fifth French name is opened Arina Sabalenka In the semifinals, but Fissette’s influence was clear that everyone saw two circles earlier. During the fourth round against Elena RibakinaSviajtek was behind 6-1, 2-0, when Fissette was referred to take a few steps to the return of serving.

Then he asked me to show her some videos, but she said, show me realistic videos, no (Novak) Djokovic or (Carlos) Alcaraz.

“I told her, you were changing the game in Footr, so if you want to go to the next level again, it is better to see Djokovic or Alcaraz or (Jannik) sinner As an example. So we have done it somehow. And let’s say she was convinced after that. “

Finding the right coach is not as easy as Osaka and Coco GauffWho both Recently transferred coacheswould certainly confirm. And when you spent 125 weeks as the world no. 1, maybe it’s hard to accept new ideas. But Fissette quickly learned how to cross their ideas, realizing that language, it was important.

Sviajnek said to enjoy the process of working through the ideas with Fissette.

“I’m a little stubborn,” she said. “So IF and HAVE A Diferent Idea, then for sure Some Persuasion and Also I need some Proof. If I’m Going To Go On Court And Feel, Oh Yeah, This Is Actually Working And It Helps Me, Then For Sure It’s No Doubt. IF I Need Some Days Of Practice, There Might Be Some Discussion and Everything. So wim also has to be patient. and Think He Already Knows That And He Accepts That.
