Martina, former world number one and 18-time Grand Slam winner Navratilova believes that the Polish Ige Šwiętek You need to improve your net game to achieve perfect tennis.
In the French Open final on Saturday, Schwiatek defeated Italian Yasmine Paolini 6:2, 6:1 to win the French Open for the fourth time in her career. In total, Swiatek has five victories in Grand Slam tournaments (four Roland Garros and one US Open).
— Of course, Szwiatek became the queen of the earth. Okay, she should have lost to Osaka, but then she beat everyone. She is not invincible, but to beat her you have to have a perfect match, be reliable on both sides, like Sabalenka, Rybakina and Osaka. Despite great shooting, a player like Yasmine Paolini doesn’t have enough power on both ends to give Ige a hard time. Perhaps some new faces will emerge – look, Mirra Andreeva reached the semi-finals at 17 – but for now, when we see Swiatek controlling the ball, we wonder who can beat her regularly.
She has a perfect game. Her groundstrokes are perfect, her technique is impeccable and she moves incredibly well. To improve, Ige needs to improve his game at the net. She has already started to serve better. She won the US Open (in 2022), but she will win even more if she expands her range. Like Novak Djokovic: at the beginning, he played pretty much like Iga, but he developed his game, his ability to finish his games at the net. I know she is already working on it… All she has to do is apply it in tournaments,” Navratilova said, as quoted by L’Equipe.
