Director of Roland Garros and two-time Grand Slam winner Amelie Mauresmo commented on the game of the first racket of the world Iga Swiatek this season.
“The way Iga has been playing in recent months, it is clear that she is now the boss. We see the progress of a new generation: Swiatek, Osaka if she is stable at a high level, and Jabeur, who also began to play completely differently. I hope the audience of “Roland Garros” will be able to appreciate it. Women’s tennis has been criticized for years for its formulaic style of play. I believe that a new era is beginning, ”Mauresmo quotes Eurosport.
The 20-year-old Iga is on a 28-win streak. The last time the winner of Roland Garros 2020 lost was in mid-February, losing to Latvian Jelena Ostapenko in the 1/16 finals of the tournament in Dubai (6:4, 1:6, 6:7).
Since then, Swiatek has won five tournaments in a row.
