"Iga did everything really, really well this year" - Iga Swiatek's coach Tomasz Wiktorowski on the World No. 1
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek's coach and compatriot Tomasz Wiktorowski recently reflected on Swiatek's phenomenal year and what made her so good.
In an interview with Eurosport, Wiktorowski spoke about Swiatek's team approaching him in December 2021 and revealed that he had told them Swiatek would be the new World No. 1 the following year.
“I try never to expect anything. I just try to do my job as good as I can. I got the question from Iga’s team in December 2021, where do I see her next year? And I said why not number one in the world? And that was the time Ash Barty was still on tour but Iga already showed huge potential," Wiktorowski said.
The Polish coach also spoke about how he had plans to improve Iga Swiatek's game right from the beginning. He also raved about her by saying that she did everything "really, really well this year."
“I was able to see Iga playing and I was forced to analyse her game as a commentator. So I had a plan from the very beginning. But of course we know a plan without proper execution is nothing and Iga did everything really, really well this year, from the very beginning and then step by step until the end. And we’re not at the end yet," the coach added.
