Tursunov on dominance of Swiatek: "She's just kind of competing with herself"

Tennis coach Dmitry Tursunov has praised Iga Swiatek for what she did this year explaining that she really has no competition.

Swiatek was not able to win the WTA Finals but still, Tursunov doesn't think she has any real competition. The sheer fact that she has twice as many points as the second-best ranked player is proof enough of how dominant she was this year:

"I mean, Iga seems pretty solid at the moment, her head is in the game, she seems to be hungry. It's almost like she's not really competing with other players, she's just kind of competing with herself. She has improved her game."

He added:

"I feel like she's playing a little bit maybe more aggressive this year than she played last couple of years. And of course, she has a lot more belief in herself and that's what winning a lot of matches does to you. The longevity of that domination?."
