Iga Świątek on Wimbledon Win, Coaching Dynamics & the Emotional Weight of Her Suspension | Served
Andy Roddick is joined by the 2025 Wimbledon Champion, Iga Swiatek! Andy and Ida talk about her dominant run at Wimbledon and how she’s never served so well (and looking to keep it up during the hard court season). They also talk about her doping case; where she was when she got the first email, her emotions going through the process, and how she’s found a way to come back from the whole situation. Andy and Iga also talk about her coach, her footwork, and so much more!

Lastly, Jon Wertheim and Producer Mike recap the DC Open winners, Naomi Osaka’s announcement that her and Patrick Mouratoglou are splitting ways (and who Wertheim has heard rumors of taking his place), and a few more headlines from the past week.
