In today´s episode we speak to Piotr Sierzputowski, the former coach of top 5 WTA player Iga Swiatek.
Piotr was Iga´s coach from age 15 to 20, guiding her from top junior to a career high of 4 in the WTA rankings.
Iga became the first Polish player to win a Grand Slam title at the 2020 French Open, when she lifted the trophy at just 19-years-old. That same year Piotr was named the WTA Coach of the Year.
They recently parted ways, and in his chat with Dan, Piotr reflects on their split, and 5 years working together.
He also gives amazing insight into his coaching philosophy, how he brought together Iga´s team and why he wasn´t afraid to hire people who had more skills than him.
