Top-ranked Iga Swiatek cruised past Veronika Kudermetova 6-1, 6-1 in the late semi-final of the Madrid Open on Thursday to set up a second straight final showdown with world No 2 Aryna Sabalenka. Swiatek had beaten Sabalenka 6-3, 6-4 to win the Stuttgart Open at the end of April, gearing up for her French Open title defence later in May.
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.
Eurosport expert Chris Evert believes there will be “fireworks” between Emma Raducanu and Bianca Andreescu when they meet in the first round of the Miami Open on Wednesday. Both players became Grand Slam champions as teenagers with Andreescu winning the 2019 US Open and Raducanu taking the title at Flushing Meadows two years later. Ad Raducanu had a run to the last 16 last week at Indian Wells, winning three matches in a row for the first time in 18 months, before being beaten by Iga Swiatek.
Eurosport's Chris Evert has hailed the huge and positive impact made by a number of women's tennis stars, including current icons Naomi Osaka and Ons Jabeur, but also not forgetting the great Billie Jean King. Evert was marking International Women's Day with her comments, and she was full of praise for the way the players «use their platform to give very pertinent thoughts and talk about very important issues that relate to society» while recognising their courage in speaking up. Ad Asked by Eurosport's Arnold Montgault which tennis player she most admires, Evert had little hesitation: «I have to say Billie Jean King.
