She just has all the ingredients to be a champion.
Chris Evert and Iga Swiatek

“Iga is a player on a mission. She’s more focused. She doesn’t get upset at all when she’s losing. She just has all the ingredients to be a champion. She really does. She checks all the boxes—the intangibles and the tangibles.”
Swiatek has been No. 1 in the WTA rankings for most of the past two years and will seek her fourth championship at Roland Garros and fifth Grand Slam trophy overall when play begins at the clay-court major tournament on Sunday.
