Does Iga Swiatek have a nightmare draw at Wimbledon?

[@markbielak5259]

It becomes a bit repetitive with Iga getting tough half draw and Sabalenka or Gauff- as it is now- a much easier one. It's basically AO all over again. They want her to crush out of Wimby asap and get Gauff as a winner in the best scenario.

[@lelet00738]

Agree..😢

[@elloco-q3h]

Very true. Since 2022 when she took over from Ash Barty, most media have been waiting & waiting for Iga to fall flat on her face. The Jazda express just keeps crushing the field as she gets better & better & better..

[@DannYvars]

Yeah, it's super annoying. SHE'S THE #1 SEED! She should have arguably the easiest draws due to her seeding... but because of the randomness of the draw, she seemingly always has to fight harder for titles than seeds 2-4.

[@martinahardy5255]

Iga is the number 1 player in the world, she should be playing these top players. When you're the best, you should be playing the best. What she should have a draw with ALL players in the top 100s. They used to do the same thing with Serena and give her the toughest draw and it made Serena a BEAST. When Naomi came on the scene in 2018, She was ASKING FOR SERENA, she wanted to play the best of the best. THAT'S A WARRIOR MINDSET.

[@marekwojtowicz3005]

​@@DannYvarsnot so much randomness but rather players underperforming and in turn getting terrible seeds or none. At the moment, two slam champions are out of the way. It's one of the smartest things Iga does, think about tomorrow and not next week....

[@ewelinawu7649]

Finally, after 2 years jourmalists (not all) learnt to pronounce Iga's family name properly.

[@carsonix78]

The answer is NO. The opponents have nightmare draw, you mixed up guys.

[@yennyrodriguezdemorales3228]

On the contrary, Her opponents have a nightmare

[@lidiazubowsky3330]

Iga will definitely cope with every player in this tournament. Its development over the last year has been impressive. First of all, he has the mind of the best tennis players. She towers over the other girls in her perfectionism and dashing around the court.

[@TheDeadlyKnight]

I don’t think she’s played Ostapenko enough to make many assumptions. 4 matches in the 6 yrs Iga’s been on tour, is just not much. The last 2 matches were 3-set matches; Iga winning 1st set, each time. Being pedestrian, & not giving Swiatek the chance to face her more, may help I guess; in the sporadic times they’ll actually face-off

[@elloco-q3h]

Sometimes, I think Wimbly is overrated. The British like to think Wimbly is the greatest thing to happen to tennis. It used to, not anymore. When they say it's a nightmare draw for Iga, so hilarious. Why can't they stop for a sec & say it's a nightmare draw for the gals lined-up to play Iga as well. Like Mike Tyson said: "you always have a plan until you get punched in the face"

[@lelet00738]

Agree..😅

[@anybodyhandle]

No questions you are right. Anyway every one playing against Iga mobilized themselves 1000% to beat her

Maybe seeing a huge mountain to climb motivates you for the challenge, whereas if you start on a gentle slope which becomes a huge mountain it can trip you up. Just a thought🙂

[@AlejandroCompagnucci-f2f]

1GA, esta preparada para la guerra... 😂🎾

[@vanhunks]

Let's say Ajla beats Yelena in R1. "There, Iga. What'd I tell you? Ajla got rid of Ostapenko for you!" 😇

[@robertswiatek3076]

I have been listening to your podcast for a few months; this is the first time I have seen what you look like. I always thought you are old, you are young, I'm positively surprised. :)

[@FranciszekLewicki-dm3st]

Iga faces a difficult task, but it is a chance for us to see Iga fighting with the upper elite of the grass game, almost at every level of the ladder. Even though it's grass, I think that this year Iga will reach the final and win it. For every player who will meet Iga at this year's Wimbledon, it will be Dead End. A street you can't leave without failure. I wouldn't count out Paolini, who can reach high levels, and the joke of heaven this year would be the Iga vs Jasmine final. Koko Gauff is one of my favorites and may surprise us.

[@WildCheval]

that's overly optimistic ::: let's hope she'll reach semifinal , which will be best Wimbledon result so far ... her game is not a grass game, lack of dropshots, net play , volleys .. .. .. I hope we will see a change the way she approaches this surface . good luck IGA

[@FranciszekLewicki-dm3st]

@@WildCheval I think that in today's woman tennis drop shots are overvalued. Everyone plays strong shots on the base line and it is difficult to make dropshot standing behind base line. When Iga was playing Wimbledon, when she was Junior, she played killer dropshots and I think we will see few drophots from her this year. Above also applies to net play. Rest is in total control.

@@FranciszekLewicki-dm3st the best thing about opinions is I will keep mine and you hold on to yours haha … good luck to Iga, hopefully she’ll reintroduce these junior skills again, being a champion made her stuck in her new style of game, it’s obviously working, but it is the grass she is struggling with, drop shots and net play much needed: that is my opinion

[@FranciszekLewicki-dm3st]

@@WildCheval Dorota, you are absolutly right. We just share our opinions and yours is most likely more valid than mine. I am more of a dreamer and you, as most women, are more practical.

If this was Raducanu, you'd be saying how amazing she'll be against her opponents.

[@anybodyhandle]

Agree. The British for a years don't have any women as a no 1 😂😂😂

[@chrisplummer1258]

Good discussion and detail from these pundits

[@anybodyhandle]

😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@timothyprice3670]

It is hardly a nightmare.

[@WildCheval]

it is , Ostapenko is Iga's nightmare, so is grass hahaha. ... . she needs to adapt her game to grass, no rocket science : more slicing, more dropshots, more net play, more volleys .. .. .. good luck Iga !

[@alicjamorgas7572]

Her draw looks Intristing.. they do not dare to say the most difficukt.

[@Bebkins]

I’m so tired of the media trying to make Coco Gauff the new Serena. She’s not Serena, guys.

[@ukaszaugustyn5453]

Ostapenko is not a rival for Świątek right now. She plays poor.

[@kasiaxxx8141]

Spokojnie. Ze Swiatek zagra swoj najlepszy tenis!

[@HandlethatJandal]

She’s got plenty drugs, she’ll be fine 😅

[@lelet00738]

Very anxious to see Iga lose...the best of luck Iga.💪

[@TheDeadlyKnight]

Iga’s a medium-level sports star. I think if she wins Wimbledon, her fan support will explode. Tennis fandoms treats prolific champions like royalty.

[@anybodyhandle]

Sometimes I think about you : are you hater or comedian 😮😊
