1974, 1975, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1985, 1986 – seven triumphs, the most in history. This is what Evert has in the French Open. Since someone like that melts in admiration for Iga witek, we have another proof of the enormity of our teenager’s talent and potential.
The Pole, ranked 54th in the WTA ranking, is the favorite of the semi-finals of the Paris tournament. He will face the 131st in the world Argentinian Nadia Podoroska.
– Both are giant slayers, both were brilliant when they felt no pressure. And now the pressure will be great. I wonder which one will keep your nerves under control – he says Evert, currently a tennis expert at Eurosport.

“Podoroska is not as powerful as Świątek”
Evert is not prejudging who will win the first Roland Garros semi-final, but he is leaning towards Iga. – She’s a delicate favorite. I have to point to her because she impressed me a lot, completely taking control of the events on the court in the match against Simona Halep. From that meeting, I know that Iga has power and composure. Podoroska is not as powerful as Iga. But of course he has a great rhythm in Paris, he plays from qualifying, you can see that he feels great – analyzes the American.
Williams emotional, Świątek calm
Evert has no doubt that the greatest display of the ongoing Roland Garros was Iga’s performance against Halep. – I’m shocked how she beat Simona Halep. She broke it in style, very easily. Simona is the champion of the French Open, for me she was the favorite of the whole tournament, so I was looking mesmerized at what Iga was doing, at her self-confidence and calmness – the expert is delighted. – Iga has a cool poker face. Serena Williams, Sofia Kenin, Danielle Collins; Today there are a lot of emotional girls and Świątek is very cool. It reminds me of Naomi Osaka – adds Evert.
Power and precision: Iga’s trademarks
The American does not find any players to whom Iga’s tennis could compare. – In my opinion, she has a unique, own style. Her serve is strong, the way she hits the ball is great and the way she combines power with precision. Iga can still work on her way of moving and on taking advantage of the opportunities. But it will come with experience. At 19, she is already very advanced in the art of tennis – sums up one of the best players in the history of this sport.
