Swiatek and Fissette teamed up towards the end of the 2024 season. Though their partnership has been solid so far, with the Pole consistently making many deep runs, she has yet to win a title under his tutelage. However, the World No. 2 is competing at the Miami Open to change that and win her first title since her French Open triumph last year.

The 23-year-old received a bye in the second round as a result of being the second seed and then kicked off her campaign with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Caroline Garcia. She followed it up with an impressive 7-6(2), 6-1 win against 27th seed Elise Mertens to reach the fourth round.
