Former world number one
Angelique Kerber has stated that she
is eager to see how Poland’s
Iga Swiatek develops in the coming years.
The 22-year-old is currently the number one-ranked player in
the WTA Ranking and is coming into the Australian Open as a firm favourite. The
first Grand Slam of the year is set to begin on Sunday where players from all
over the world will battle to secure the ultimate prize.
Kerber, was recently quoted in a report where she admitted
that Swiatek is by far the best player currently playing in the women’s singles
category and also stated that she is eager to see whether she can become as successful
as legendary Serena Williams.
"Serena plays a completely different game than Iga,”
she said. “Of course, Iga has played her best tennis over the last few years.
She has been on the top for years now. It is a tough opponent. I know her also
very well off the court.
“Yeah, I mean, she's
only 22, 21. She has a lot of years ahead. I'm also looking forward to how she
will go in the next few years, how good she can be in the next years, like
Serena maybe. I mean, we will see."
