Wim Fissette (born 22 March 1980) is a Belgian former professional tennis player and current coach, best known for his work with former Women's Tennis Association (WTA) world number ones Victoria Azarenka, Kim Clijsters, current world number one Simona Halep, and British number one Johanna Konta. He is currently the coach of former world number one Angelique Kerber.
Fissette reached a career high singles ranking of 1,291 on 23 August 1999.
Fissette first took on the role of Kim Clijsters' coach upon the Belgian making a comeback onto the WTA Tour in 2009, having previously served as her hitting partner prior to her first retirement in 2007. Under his stewardship, Clijsters won the US Open that year as a wildcard entry, and successfully retained the title twelve months later. She also won the 2010 WTA Tour Championships, which was followed shortly after by the Australian Open early the following year. She also reigned as the world number one for a solitary week in 2011. Fissette and Clijsters split in September that year.
