“Ons Jabeur is like Casper Ruud, she's got another chance to play in a Grand Slam final. I love the way she plays. She has got great personality. What she has represented for Africa, coming from Tunisia, it's unbelievable.

John continued turning his attention to Swiatek:

“Iga, you love her too. She just had this unbelievable streak, sort of lost her way for a bit. Maybe the pressure got to her, so she has battled hard. This is a beautiful match-up for the final.”
