Iga Swiatek’s new coach Wim Fissette has two children, Arthur and Louis. The siblings were seen wearing their costumes in an image shared by their mother Jasmien Clijsner for a Halloween event at school.
Clijsner took to her Instagram on October 25 to share an image of her children Arthur and Louis wearing spooky outfits for Halloween. In the image, Fissette and Clijsner’s elder child Arthur was seemingly dressed as the clown from It, wearing a polka-dotted outfit with red, blood-stained accents.
The younger child on the right, Louis, was dressed as a ghost in a flowing white costume. Their faces were also painted white with dark eyes, giving off a haunting look. Both kids’ appearances brought out a fun and spooky Halloween vibe.
Swiatek recently split with her longtime coach Tomasz Wiktorowski and joined forces with Fissette. The Belgian coach has overseen six former World No. 1’s including Simona Halep, Victoria Azarenka, and Naomi Osaka. Clijsner was proud of Fissette taking up the coaching role of five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek.
“Extremely proud family here” – Wim Fissette’s wife expressed her pride in his coaching of Iga Swiatek
Iga Swiatek took to social media last week to announce that her new coach will be Wim Fissette.
“So, I have news for you today as I’m excited and motivated to start a new chapter. I’m happy to announce that Wim Fissette is joining our team. As you know, I’m preparing for the WTA Finals but my perspective is, as always, long-term, not short-term,” Iga Swiatek said.
“I said many times that my career is a marathon for me, not a sprint and I’m working, operating and making decisions with this approach. I want to say that I’m very excited and looking forward to working with Wim. He seems to have a great attitude, vision and huge experience at a very top level of tennis,” she added.
Fissette had recently split from Naomi Osaka and the Japanese went on to join forces with Patrick Mouratoglou. The Belgian coach’s wife, Jasmien Clijsner was proud of him taking up the coaching role of another former World No. 1. She shared the news on Instagram and wrote:
“Wim coaching #1 Swiatek. Extremely proud family in here,” she added in the caption.
Swiatek has yet to play a professional match since her quarterfinal exit at the US Open. She missed the Asian swing and also dropped to World No. 2. The Pole has slim chances of recovering the crown before the end of the season with the WTA Finals set to be the deciding tournament.
