The legend of Iga Świątek’s difficult choice. These words have great power!
Iga Świątek has decided on a new coach. Francisco Roig became the Polish tennis player’s trainer. The choice was assessed by Boris Becker, a legend from years ago.
Interestingly, in the case of Boris Becker, we are talking about a Grand Slam champion who won exactly… as many titles as the Polish woman, who was only 24 years old. We are talking about the most important tournaments, i.e. those included in the Grand Slam set. The German won the Australian Open twice (1991, 1996), Wimbledon three times (1985, 1986, 1989) and the US Open once (1989).
Boris Becker assessed the new coach Iga Świątek. Important words of the legend
Francisco Roig is a man who spent the vast majority of his coaching career working with Rafael Nadal. The new coach Świątek and the focus on him were rather positively received in the community. Additionally, the figure of Nadal and the fact that the Pole feels so good on clay courts is also important.
Becke also added two sentences of his own, clearly praising Świątek’s choice.
“I love Rafael, definitely the best on clay courts! I also respect Francisco Roig! I have met him many times and I love talking to him about tennis! Good choice Iga,” Becker wrote on the X website, sharing a recording of the Polish woman’s training at a center in Mallorca.

Świątek won six Grand Slam titles, four times at Roland Garros (2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024), once at the US Open (2022) and Wimbledon (2025). To this should be added the prestigious triumph in the WTA Finals (2023).

Plus a Polish tournament accent, WTA 250 in Warsaw (2023).
As for Polish topics, it is impossible not to emphasize the bronze medal of the Olympic Games in the singles competition in Paris (2024). Świątek also won the Polish national team in the United Cup in Sydney (2026).
