In a recent interview with Bartosz Gebicz for Przeglad Sportowy, Iga Swiatek‘s father Tomasz Swiatek talked about his daughter’s career and touched on the topic of other successful women’s players, where he emphasized the improvement of American Jessica Pegula.
The world No.1 Swiatek absolutely dominated the year 2022, with eight titles, including two Grand Slams, and a 37-match winning streak, the longest on the WTA Tour in the 21st century. When her father, a former Olympic rower, was asked whether Ons Jabeur, Paula Badosa or Maria Sakkari would show consistently good results in the coming period, he responded that he would rather pick someone else — Jessica Pegula.
