The statistics of Polish women look impressive. The reigning Roland Garros champion has won 14 matches in a row. During this time, the representative of Poland played 29 sets. He only lost one. Raszinyanka's performance did not go unnoticed by foreign experts, who praised the form of the WTA ranking leader.
Mark Petchy and Sam Smith, foreign United Cup commentators who appeared on an episode of The AO Show, decided to discuss the performance of individual mixes during a representative tournament. Journalists paid the most attention to Iga Switchtech.
– It is an absolute joy for me to watch him perform mixed doubles. The way he treats his opponents is impressive. He and his team worked hard at the end of the season. There are obvious changes and improvements to the service. Despite minor technical changes, it has not lost its momentum and dynamics. Świątek looks like a player who is trying to get better and better – summed up the commentators.
Experts also evaluated the words of Świątek's coach, Tomasz Wiktorowski.
“His coach said one of Iga's biggest coaching strengths is that when he fails, he's willing to go back, learn from it, and keep moving forward,” Smith said.
– I think it has been a long time since we have had champions of this mentality on tour – the experts concluded.
