If Iga Swiatek lost in the WTA 1000 final in Madrid against Aryna Sabalenka last Saturday, Jimmy Connors made a remarkable statement about the world number 1 in his latest podcast « Advantage Connors ».
“Players now know that to play against her and beat her, they have to play almost every shot perfectly.. She forces everyone she faces to up their game. Almost everyone would rather beat her than win the tournament. She wins matches before entering the court. That’s the biggest compliment you can get in the game, to go out there and know everyone wants to beat you. You have a target in the back. It’s an excellent reputation.”underlined the eight-time Grand Slam winner.
