Iga Swiatek Told She Can ‘Send a New Message’ to Rivals by Serena Williams’ Ex-Coach

When Serena Williams’ former coach speaks, you take notes—especially if you’re the current world No. 1. Iga Swiatek has just received some high-voltage encouragement from one of the sharpest minds in the game, who believes she’s on the brink of redefining her dominance. According to the ex-coach of the 23-time Grand Slam champion, Swiatek has a golden opportunity to “send a new message” to her WTA rivals: the queen is here to stay—and she’s just getting started.

This isn’t just about defending titles or stacking trophies. It’s about rewriting the narrative. After a few wobbles and rising pressure from the likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, Swiatek has the perfect stage—Roland Garros—to assert herself not just as a force on clay, but as the standard across all surfaces. The message? “You can chase me, but good luck catching me.”

The coach’s comments echo a familiar Serena-era energy: dominate now, or the challengers smell blood. Swiatek has the game, the mindset, and the pedigree. What she needs now is to unleash it with intent. No more safe wins or narrow escapes—just ruthless, Serena-style authority.

This “new message” isn’t just for her opponents—it’s for the tennis world. Swiatek isn’t going anywhere. And with the blessing of one of the sport’s greatest coaching minds, it might be time for the rest of the tour to brace themselves for a storm from Warsaw.
