1ga, the bar is high
With eight titles including two Grand Slams at Roland-Garros and the US Open, the longest winning streak of the century (37), a record of 67 successes for 9 defeats and more than 6000 points ahead of her runner-up Ons Jabeur in the standings, it’s hard to hope for a better season than the past one for Iga Swiatek.
Always a perfectionist but more peaceful, the world number one has improved in many areas of the game and now manages to win regardless of the pressure, the scenario or the opponent on the other side of the net. His sparkling Porte d’Auteuil campaign and his more laborious New York fortnight thus had the same outcome: in the end, it was Iga who won. At the peak of her art and of world tennis at only 21 years old, the Polish must now tackle the protection of her crown and the extension of her kingdom. His debut in the United Cup has already set the tone, like this incredible point at Federer, scored in doubles with Hubert Hurkacz.
