Former coach of Serena Williams comments on Swiatek's rest

After losing in the first round of the 2026 Miami Open and parting ways with her coach Wim Fissette, Iga Swiatek has decided not to compete in the Billie Jean King Cup tie with Poland, a move that has pleased Rick Macci, former coach of Serena Williams. "It's very smart on her part. Iga has already been through that, has fulfilled her duty. She knows the process, feels the pressure, and is a champion. She will jump into the pool when she's ready," he stated on his 'X' account, understanding the need for this break to come back stronger on the clay court tour, her specialty.
