Swiatek Sparks Clay Comeback with Rout of Pegula in Rome

Iga Swiatek signaled a return to top form on clay by overpowering Jessica Pegula in Rome, deploying a simpler, more patient, high‑intensity game under coach Roig and using deep returns to force errors. The win suggests ominous French Open prospects for rivals, with potential semi-final foes Elena Rybakina or Elina Svitolina in sight. On the men's side, Lorenzo Musetti withdrew from Roland Garros with a thigh injury, joining Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper on the sidelines.

Świątek splits with Wim Fissette after 18 months, eyes a new direction

Iga Świątek has ended her 18-month coaching partnership with Wim Fissette following an up‑and‑down start to 2026, a period that included a Wimbledon title and other trophies but also inconsistent results as she experimented with a new style. After a Miami Open second‑round exit that snapped her 73‑match opening‑win streak, she announced the split on Instagram, thanking Fissette while noting the rest of her team remains unchanged and she will pursue a new chapter with a continued focus on clay season.

Privacy Calls Grow as Gauff Moment Highlights On-Court Surveillance at Australian Open

World No. 2 Iga Swiatek joined fellow players in urging more off-court privacy at the Australian Open after cameras filmed Coco Gauff’s post-match racket-smashing. Gauff said there should be personal moments away from the spotlight, with other players like Amanda Anisimova and Jessica Pegula agreeing that coverage has felt invasive. Swiatek contrasted AO with French Open and Wimbledon, which offer sanctuary spaces, saying players are being constantly watched. Gauff’s moment came after a 59-minute quarterfinal loss to Elina Svitolina; Swiatek later lost in the quarterfinals to Elena Rybakina.
