Rafa Nadal ❌ Novak Djokovic ❌ Serena Williams ❌ John McEnroe believes Iga Swiatek has mastered a move on clay better than the all-time greats 🙌 #RolandGarros | @JohnMcEnroe | @iga_swiatek

John McEnroe has been left impressed with Swiatek's clay tennis noting that she moves better than Nadal, Serena Williams or Djokovic.
McEnroe had the chance to watch Swiatek up close at this year's Roland Garros on clay and the Eurosport tennis expert has been thoroughly impressed. Speaking during the daily coverage he said:
"She is an incredible athlete. I don't think I have ever seen a player - and this includes Nadal and Djokovic - that move, slide into their backhand, the open stance two-hander and the forehand."
He continued:
"I think Serena hits a bigger ball. I don't think she slides the way Swiatek does. I've never seen anyone so smooth on the clay courts."
It's lofty praise from McEnroe and he would know having watched some truly legendary players of the years. It's only another testament that what Swiatek has been doing this year is not by chance or luck. It's real and she's going to be good for a very long time.
