This is absolutely not a text against. We had a great tennis player. One that was at the forefront for 10 years. Iga witek is still far from having such a long career. But she is in such a place on her tennis path that comparisons to Agnieszka Radwańska come to my mind. And these comparisons are definitely in favor of our new star.
Radwańska also won. But not like Świątek
On Sunday, Świątek smashed Maria Sakkari 6: 4, 6: 1 in the final of the great tournament in. This is a WTA 1000 rank competition – the highest one after the Grand Slam events. For Iga, it is the fifth title in her career. And already the third one in such a big tournament.
The 2020 Roland Garros Championship is the pinnacle, the absolute top. But the subsequent titles – Adelaide 2021, Rome 2021, Doha 2022 and Indian Wells 2022 – are also great successes. The smallest of them – the one from Adelaide – is the “five hundred”, meaning the WTA 500 rank. Agnieszka Radwańska, being at the age where Iga witek is now, did not have such successes.
Radwańska was born in 1989. Her career also began very quickly. Just five months after her 18th birthday, the Cracovian won her first tournament – in Stockholm. And at the age of 21, like now Iga (she will be 21 on May 31), was the winner of four WTA events. It should be emphasized, however, that those tournaments in Stockholm, Pattaya, Istanbul and Eastbourne did not match the rank of those already won by Christmas. At that time, Radwańska was a player on the border of the first and second ten in the WTA ranking. And Świątek is already on his way to the top.
Imagination? Composure? Same conclusion
For her great victories, Świątek has already collected so many points that on March 21, 2022, it officially became number 2 in the world ranking. At this point, Iga is 20 years, 9 months and 18 days old. Radwańska climbed second in the WTA ranking (her highest in her career) on July 9, 2012, two days after the Wimbledon final, defeated by Seren Williams. On that day, the best Polish tennis player at the time was exactly 23 years, 4 months and 3 days.
Where will Iga be in almost three years? What will her achievements be then? Imagination, but also calm observation and evaluation of this girl’s potential, make us think about great things.
– Iga has everything you need to play the most important role in women’s tennis -.
Swiatek is having a great streak – she won two big tournaments and 11 matches in a row. He has a record of 20 wins and only three losses this year. In addition to two titles, it has two more semi-finals – the tournament in Adelaide and the Australian Open.
It is a really great start to the year 2022. Who knows if Iga will not become the world’s number 1 this season. And that has never been achieved by Radwańska. And although she has achieved a lot in her career – she won 20 WTA tournaments – it.
Iga Świątek has already achieved some of these great things. And for more, it seems to be on its way.
