Wojciech Fibak (or Wojtek Fibak; born 30 August 1952, in Poznań) is a Polish former tennis player best known for his doubles success with Tom Okker and Kim Warwick, but also for having reached the Top 10 in singles.
Born in Poznań, Poland, he won his first tournament in 1976, and between then and 1982 won 15 singles titles and 52 doubles titles. His best year was arguably 1980, when he reached the quarter-finals at the French Open, the US Open and Wimbledon. Fibak's career singles win-loss record was 520–310, and he reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 10 on 25 July 1977. His highest doubles ranking was World No. 3, which he reached in April 1979. He was consistently ranked in the top 20 in singles, and earned $2,725,403 in career prize money.
The highlight of his career was winning the Australian Open Men's Doubles in 1978 with Kim Warwick. They beat Paul Kronk and Cliff Letcher 7–6, 7–5 to take the title.
In 1985, Fibak founded the Polish Tennis Club (Polish Tennis Association of Southern California). He is also a businessman and an avid art collector. Fibak divides his time between Warsaw and Monaco. He has three daughters: Agnieszka, Paulina, and Nina.
