"Don't over analyse it": Iga Swiatek not looking much into Sabalenka and Rybakina rivalry but admits trio stand out in women's tennis
WTAMonday, 25 December 2023 at 14:30
World number one Iga Swiatek believes that women’s tennis remains extremely competitive despite the change of guard in the last five years.
Women’s tennis has seen a more drastic change in competing for big titles compared to men’s tennis in the recent past. The likes of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova have retired whereas Simona Halep is currently spending time off after receiving a ban for testing positive in a dope test.
In their absence, new faces have emerged who are taking women’s tennis forward. Swiatek, who is often regarded as the best player currently playing in the women’s singles category, was recently quoted in a report where she admitted that three players including herself, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are playing consistently at a different level whereas others are definitely trying to reach there.
“The women’s tennis has been at a consistent level for the last couple of seasons,” said the Polish tennis star. “Me, Aryna and Elena, I feel, are standing out and playing consistently but there others who are also just trying to get better. However, for me there is no difference.
I like to work at my own pace, but when somebody is competing with you and keeps pushing you then it has a positive impact and a negative impact, but I don’t over analyse it.
Swiatek, who is already a four-time Grand Slam winner, is currently taking part in the World Tennis League and while talking about it, stated that the tournament gives her an opportunity to experiment ahead of the 2024 season.
“This tournament gives me the opportunity to implement what I have been practicing during the preseason against the best players here,” she said. “I played well against Rybakina and I felt it is something like what we have experienced in the WTA Tour. So pretty nice.”
