Iga Swiatek will face Elina Svitolina in the Quarter-Finals of 2023 Wimbledon after coming from the brink to defeat Belinda Bencic 6-7(4), 7-6(2), 6-3.
Svitolina on the other hand played out an absolute epic seeing off Victoria Azarenka which was played at the same time.
The World No.1 shared her respect for Svitolina post match and her admiration for returning post pregnancy as well as having 'good values'.
"It's good to have these kind of players on tour that are nice and they have kind of good values, I think," she said post match.
"I'm happy that she's back after becoming a mother. I don't know how tough it is, but I'm sure it's really tough. Yeah, I'm happy that she's playing a solid game. I think it's going to be interesting in two days."
Albeit despite being friendly with each other and having that mutual respect, she doesn't think it will impact the match.
"I don't think it's going to impact our game. For sure, yeah, we respect each other. We like each other. It's all pretty positive."
They will play on Tuesday afternoon at SW19 with Svitolina likely to be on Centre Court for the first time since defeating Venus Williams in her opening match.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
