There are players who, no matter how much time passes since their retirement, the feeling upon seeing them again is as if time had not passed. We will experience this in 2026 with the return of Agnieszka Radwanska to the professional circuit.

No, we won't see Agnieszka Radwanska competing on the court, that would be too much of a treat for the fans. Just a few months shy of turning 37, the Pole has decided to try her hand at coaching, training a current player for the first time. It will be her compatriot Magda Linette, only three years younger, reinforcing the team to travel together for some weeks. How will this experiment unfold? Listening to all those involved in this report by WTA, they are filled with excitement.

“Agnieszka will bring a unique set of skills to the table; she is a player who reached the highest levels of the game and has also had coaching experiences in the real world,” admits Mark Gellard, the man leading the project. Of course, now with Aga on the team, the goal is for everything to be strengthened. "Her ability to understand the game, identify opportunities, and communicate her emotions make her a very valuable asset for the team, so we can only be grateful,” acknowledges the coach.

But the most important thing is to listen to the protagonist, the Wimbledon 2012 finalist or the champion of the WTA Finals 2015, among many other things. It is true that she retired without ever winning a Grand Slam, an achievement that eluded her during a fiercely competitive era, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that today she has all the world's experience to help another player dreaming of reaching where she once did.

"I never thought I would return to the tour; coaching is not the same as playing,” warns the Krakow native. "Luckily, Magda (Linette) and I have known each other for 25 years, so I just want to help her. I remember we used to play together when we were 10-12 years old, we were friends during our junior years, but not too close, as both of us had our own journeys. We have different personalities, different playing styles, but we enjoy each other's company during the journey. Finally, we will be on the same side of the net,” assures the former world number 2.

Magda Linette, delighted with Radwanska

We cannot close the article without addressing the excitement of a Magda Linette who, at 33, will receive a significant boost in 2026. Currently ranked #55, few would have bet on seeing the Pole within the top 20 at such an advanced age, but those 2023 Australian Open semifinals completely changed her trajectory. It is true that her shine on the circuit has dimmed a bit lately, hence why she has chosen to follow Agnieszka's lead.

“I have always admired her, the way she saw the game, her ability to read her opponents' tennis and stay calm under pressure,” she lavishes praise on Radwanska. “She always made smart decisions in crucial moments. All those qualities are ones that I think can benefit me, so bringing her into the team has been a natural choice. I wanted someone who could guide me not only on the court but also in approaching my work,” she recalls with nostalgia.

And how can she help? Linette has choices. “She will help me read the game more clearly, give me new ideas on how to construct points. In crucial moments, she will show me how to handle pressure with more patience and confidence. Since she arrived, she has raised the level of my work, especially in intensity, focus, and the small details. In the end, this is what makes the difference. Overall, she brings me experience, calmness, and a structure that elevates the entire team's level,” the Pole concludes.
