Former legendary doubles player Todd Woodbridge has predicted that Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek will finish the year as the top players in the world.
Djokovic and Swiatek have both started the new year furiously. The Serbian managed to win the Australian Open relatively comfortably despite not being fully healthy. The Polish superstar didn't win the Australian Open but she's well on her way to win back to back titles in Doha and Dubai. According to Woodbridge both are primed to finish the year as number one:
“I am not moving off where the rankings sit right now. I just don’t see those players as coming off their level. It’s going to be hard to move either of them. I think their contracts are well in place – the No. 1 player in the world.”
He added:
“So Iga Swiatek, who has just cleaned up another tournament victory. Winning 6-0 sets with the ease of Steffi Graf back in the day is continual for me. I think she’s gonna be hard to get out of that position.”
And on Novak he said something similar:
“The same with Novak. When you look at Novak’s schedule and how limited it was over the last year, he doesn’t even have a point to defend at the US Open. He’s got no point in the lead-up to the US Open, if he chooses to play any of those events."
