Iga Swiatek has found what she was looking for in her search for a new coach. The Polish world number one announced on Thursday that she will be working with Belgian Wim Fissette. 

Fissette has already coached women's tennis greats such as Kim Clijsters, Victoria Asarenka, Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber. Until a month ago, the 44-year-old coached Naomi Osaka from Japan.
