Radwańska speaks honestly about Świątek's situation: "She definitely has bigger ambitions"

As for the answer to this question, we will probably find out the details in the next week, maybe two, depending on how far the Polish tennis player gets. Iga Świątek came to London as number 4 in the WTA ranking. So the Polish player has risen, mainly due to the final she reached during the WTA 500 tournament in Bad Homburg, Germany . Interestingly, the winner of the competition from a few days ago, Jessica Pegula, sensationally lost in the first round of Wimbledon.

Wimbledon: Urszula Radwańska assessed the chances of the Polish champion

It should also be remembered that Świątek won on the Wimbledon grass as a junior, precisely in 2018, becoming a Grand Slam champion.

Urszula Radwańska has achieved similar success. What's more, Agnieszka's younger sister won both singles and doubles at the junior Wimbledon in 2007.

In an interview for WP/SportoweFakty, Radwańska assessed Świątek's chances during this year's edition of the legendary tournament in London.

– […] unfortunately I wouldn’t put Iga in the role of Wimbledon favourites. I would really like her to have a big success in London, but we all know that the grass surface simply doesn’t favour her and reduces her advantages […] It’s good that she gained more self-confidence just before Wimbledon. It’s definitely a big step forward. Iga has never hidden the fact that she doesn’t feel comfortable on grass, but this can release a lot of positive energy in her. This year, she was quite nervous, because she definitely has bigger ambitions than dropping out of tournaments at the quarter-final stage or earlier – admitted Urszula Radwańska in an interview with Tomasz Skrzypczyński.
