Two-time defending champion Iga Swiatek swept aside Lesia Tsurenko 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the fourth round of the Italian Open on Sunday and extend her winning streak at the Foro Italico to 13 matches.
American tennis legend Chris Evert is predicting Iga Swiatek to win the French Open this year. Swiatek has a strong record on clay, boasting a 27-2 win-loss record on the surface since 2022. The 21-year-old lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the Madrid Open final last weekend , her first defeat on the surface since losing to Caroline Garcia in the 2022 Poland Open quarter-finals last July.
Chris Evert is backing Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to come through their recent injury woes and make a strong challenge for the French Open title. Nadal has endured a torrid first half of 2023 and was most recently forced to pull out of the Rome Masters with a hip injury. Ad Djokovic meanwhile will be able to defend his title in the Italian capital after recovering from a sore elbow.
It was one year ago today that Iga Swiatek officially replaced Ashleigh Barty as world No. 1. In the 365 days since taking over from the retiring Barty, Swiatek has established herself as a supreme force on the WTA Tour.
Chris Evert believes Daniil Medvevev “adds a lot of personality” to tennis and has described the former world No. 1 as a “mischievous little bad boy”. Medvedev won 19 matches in a row over the last two months before losing in the Indian Wells final to Carlos Alcaraz.
Iga Swiatek is going to be «the Rafael Nadal of the women's 'big three'», thinks Mats Wilander. Wilander's fellow tennis legend Chris Evert recently shared her opinion to Eurosport that a triumvirate — akin to that of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic — could be in the process of forming in the women's game, namely Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka.
Eurosport expert Chris Evert has expressed her excitement about the «very interesting» rivalry that is emerging between Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, who she believes could end up being the «Federer, Nadal and Djokovic of women's tennis». Evert spoke about the concern that many felt with the retirement of Serena Williams, but has made it clear that the rising trio of women's tennis could develop a rivalry that is comparable to that of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the men's game.
Eurosport expert Chris Evert has been left «in awe» and «flabbergasted» by the excellence shown by Carlos Alcaraz in his return from injury ahead of the French Open. The Spaniard stormed past the previously in-form Daniil Medvedev in electrifying fashion to clinch a straight-sets win, 6-3 6-2, and seal the Indian Wells title in California, while he usurped Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic at the summit of the men's game in the process. Ad Alcaraz, who did not lose a set in six Indian Wells matches, has made a dominant return to the ATP Tour after he was forced to miss the opening Grand Slam of the season at Melbourne Park due to injury.
