Well, that was fast.
Just days after announcing a major coaching shake-up, Naomi Osaka already appears to have added another heavyweight name to her team. On Tuesday, the former world No. 1 was spotted on the practice courts in Montreal with Iga Swiatek’s former coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, after parting ways with coach Patrick Mouratoglou on Sunday.

The move completes a full-circle coaching swap between Osaka and Swiatek. Last October, Swiatek split with Wiktorowski and went on to hire Wim Fissette—Osaka’s coach since returning to tennis following the 2023 birth of her daughter, and who worked with the Japanese player during two of her four major titles in their first coaching stint (2020-22).
Now, nearly a year later, Osaka and Wiktorowski—who guided Swiatek to four of her first five majors, including the 2022 US Open—are teaming up for what appears to be a trial week at the National Bank Open presented by Rogers.
