Tomasz Wiktorowski, the former coach of Iga Swiatek and Agnieszka Radwanska, is reportedly on his way to Montreal to begin a coaching trial with Naomi Osaka. The Polish strategist, who played a pivotal role in Swiatek’s rise to Grand Slam glory, is expected to join Osaka during the WTA 1000 tournament in Canada.
Osaka Parts Ways with Mouratoglou
Naomi Osaka recently ended her partnership with Patrick Mouratoglou, which began in September 2024. Their collaboration produced limited success, including a runner-up finish at the WTA 250 in Auckland and a title at the WTA 125 in Saint Malo. Osaka announced the split via social media, expressing gratitude for the experience and wishing Mouratoglou well.
A New Chapter for Both
Wiktorowski’s arrival signals a fresh start for both parties. After concluding his coaching stint with Swiatek in October 2024, he transitioned into tennis commentary. Now, he returns to the court with Osaka, who is seeking to regain her top form following her maternity break and a challenging stretch on tour.
First Match in Montreal
Osaka is scheduled to face Canadian player Ariana Arseneault in her opening match in Montreal. Wiktorowski’s presence in her box could mark the beginning of a new coaching relationship aimed at revitalizing Osaka’s career and improving her current ranking, which sits outside the top 40.
Proven Experience on the Sidelines
During his time with Swiatek, Wiktorowski guided her to four Grand Slam titles—three at Roland Garros and one at the US Open. His tactical acumen and calm demeanor were widely credited for helping Swiatek navigate high-pressure matches. Osaka may be hoping that the same qualities can help her rediscover the dominance she once displayed on hard courts.
Naomi Osaka in 2025
Now ranked no.49, Osaka played her last match on the 24th of July when she was defeated by world no.33 Emma Raducanu 6-4 6-2 in the 2nd round in Washington (draw).
Currently, during this season Naomi has achieved a 21-11 win-loss record. Naomi conquered 1 title in the Malo. Naomi was the finalist in Auckland.
