"She is a complete player" - Wilander praises Swiatek

Eurosport tennis analyst Mats Wilander spoke about the steady rise of Iga Swiatek and her evolution into a 'complete player'.

Everybody knew that Iga Swiatek was destined for great things in tennis when she won the French Open in stunning fashion as a teenager. Last season was used as a consolation season where she won a couple of events and consolidated herself as a top player. This season she finally took that next step as she prepares to take over the number one ranking from Ashleigh Barty.

He said:

"She's won Roland Garros. And she's done it easily, without dropping a single set. She's done well at the other grand slams. She has been preparing herself to be in the spotlight of professional tennis for a long time. She's been travelling with a psychologist to be mentally ready for that part of tennis."
