Navratilova on Swiatek and Jabeur at WTA Finals: "One has nothing to prove and the other one might be the hungriest of all time"

Martina Navratilova provided tennis fans around the world with her thoughts on how Swiatke and Jabeur will do at the WTA Finals.

The legendary player had quite different takes on the players in the sense that ones has many things to prove while the other has nothing to prove. Swiatek is the one that has nothing to prove as she proved plenty this year with her incredible level winning multiple trophies:

"She won two of the four Majors, and the rest of it is just mind-blowing. When I had a great year, at the year-end championships, you relaxed. It’s ‘I had a great year, I don’t have to prove anything.’ She’s had a couple of weeks off. There’s absolutely no pressure on her, so she could play probably the most free tennis of anybody there."

One player that suffered a lot of heartbreak this year is Ons Jabeur as she was beaten in two grand slam finals which should leave her hungrier than ever according to Navratilova:

"She’ll be hungry. Losing those two finals -- it sucks losing in the final of a Major. You have to stay on the court for that extra 15 minutes, when you just want to get to the locker room and have a beer. She may be the hungriest of all of them."

Navratilova concluded with:

"It’s a big event and could be a springboard for next year. She might be the one with the most to prove. It’s funny, No. 1 and No. 2 -- one has nothing to prove and the other one might be the hungriest."
