World No.1 and five-time major winner Iga Świątek has announced her coaching split from Tomasz Wiktorowski after three years.
The Polish partnership was at times unstoppable, as Wiktorowski helped Świątek win three French Open titles and one US Open trophy.
Świątek posted on Instagram in a lengthy statement where she acknowledged her former coach's impact on her tennis career.
"After three years of the greatest achievements in my career, together with my coach Tomasz we decided to part ways. I want to start with a big thank you and appreciating our work together.
"Coach Wiktorowski joined my team for three seasons, when I strongly needed changes and a fresh approach to my game. His experience, analytical and strategic attitude and enormous knowledge about tennis helped us to achieve things I've never dreamed of only a few months after we started working together. Our main goal was to become No.1 player in the world and coach Wiktorowski was the one who said it first. We aimed very high, we headed to every tournament with a clear goal to win it. Together with coach Wiktorowski we won many tournaments and four Grand Slams.
"Coach, THANK YOU, I wish you all the best. I know that you would like to rest after these three years of hard work and travelling a lot and spend some well deserved time with your loved ones and I hope you'll get what you need.
"Due to this important change on my team, I give myself a couple of weeks to start a cooperation with a new coach. I'm in the middle of first talks with coaches from abroad (non-Polish), because I'm ready to take the next step in my career. I will let you know when I make a decision."
The 23-year-old's last competitive match occurred at Flushing Meadows four weeks ago, bowing out to Jessica Pegula in the quarter-finals.
