Iga Świątek just has it! The legend spreads over the Polish woman

The second Roland Garros Grand Slam tournament begins on Sunday, May 26, during which Iga Świątek will want to win the Parisian cake for the third time in a row and confirm her dominance. According to many experts, there are few players who can prevent her from doing so. – Attitude is more important than hitting the ball – says Eric Riley’s legendary American coach in the context of Coco Gauff’s chances to compete with the Pole.

– I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. There’s a lot of pressure. This happens especially when I play well, I know that I can achieve another thing and everyone thinks about it, everyone expects it – said Iga Świątek at the press conference, which was reported from Paris by Łukasza Jachimiak, a journalist from Sport.pl .

Compliments are pouring in for Świątek. “He has the blood of champions in his veins”

The Polish tennis player was very relaxed, as her high form was confirmed recently by winning the “thousanders” in Madrid and Rome . Now her goal is a third consecutive title in Paris.

In the last days before the event that starts on Sunday, Iga Świątek received a lot of compliments. The next words were spoken by the legendary American coach Eric Riley. The trainer gave an exclusive interview to tennisworldusa.org. Naturally, he was asked about the chances of the highest-ranked American, Coco Gauff, against the Pole. – Świątek is a more complete player than Coco in every phase of the game. Coco will work hard to make up the difference, but the advantage still belongs to Świątek, Riley admitted. Both players can meet in the semi-finals, but first they must win five matches . Coco Gauff already played in the Roland Garros final in 2022, but lost to the current ranking leader.

– Iga Świątek has the blood of champions in his veins . If her priority is to win 7 matches in a row at Roland Garros or the grass courts of Wimbledon, she will be able to do it. Attitude is more important than hitting the ball. On the other hand, Gauff has had a lot of difficult matches recently. I think she’ll have a hard time after winning her first Slam, admits Eric Riley.
