Todd Woodbridge says he’s hoping Iga Swiatek labored on her slice backhand within the offseason as the previous doubles world No. 1 believes it’s the key to the world No. 2 reaching success on the Australian Open. 

Though the Pole has already gained 5 Grand Slams by the age of 23, she hasn’t had that a lot success at Melbourne Park to date in her profession. 

Other than a semifinal outing in 2022, it has principally been early exits for Swiatek on the Australian Open – 3 times misplaced within the round-of-16 and in addition had second and third-round defeats. 

However lately, the 23-year-old made a giant change and changed Tomasz Wiktorowski with Naomi Osaka’s former long-time coach Wim Fissette. 

Shortly after their partnership was revealed, the Belgian coach – underneath whose steering Osaka gained the Australian Open and US Open – underlined one in every of his major objectives can be making the Pole a greater participant on quicker surfaces.

“There’s a new coaching team [now including Wim Fissette], and hopefully in the off-season they’ve been running over to the backhand corner and hitting some slice backhands – a defensive shot to get back into play,” the Australian tennis legend said The AO Show Weekly.

“[It’s] one shot required for her to go one other stage right here, and that is to get a defensive ball, to get it again into play, and get again impartial into the court docket.

“If she can have been working on that, I promise you you’ll see a different look from Iga. It will allow her to use her forehand better, and set things up. 

“And she doesn’t have that shot. Doesn’t use it. That’s all.”
