In just a few months after we began working together, his experience, analytical, strategic mindset, and vast tennis knowledge enabled us to accomplish things I never would have imagined.

Our main goal was to become No.1 player in the world and coach Wiktorowski was the one who said it first. We aimed very high, we headed to every tournament with a clear goal to win it. Together with coach Wiktorowski we won many tournaments and 4 Grand Slams.”
