"She really looks mortal now" - Jon Wertheim on Iga Swiatek

Sports journalist Jon Wertheim analyzed the play of Iga Swiatek for the tennis channel and he admitted that she looks mortal now.

Iga Swiatek won her first match in Cincinnati but she lost the second one to Madison Keys and it marked the 3rd event in a row that she played without reaching the final.

Swiatek complained earlier about the balls using describing them as too light as she struggled with her control in the past few events.
