Andy Roddick believes Iga Swiatek is a very legitimate candidate to become “one of the best players of all time” while Aryna Sabalenka has already built a Hall of Fame career.
Swiatek, who will be turning just 23 on May 31st, already has four Grand Slam titles, 11 WTA 1000 titles and also has one WTA Finals title. Also this Monday, Swiatek entered her 103th week at the world No. 1 spot.
On the other side, 26-year-old Sabalenka hasn’t accomplished as much as Swiatek but she has also done some very notable things as she is a two-time Grand Slam champion, a five-time WTA 1000 champion, has one WTA Finals title and has been the top-ranked player in the world.
“Sabalenka now is someone who has won two Slams, has been No. 1 in the world, has a bunch of WTA 1000s. She’s a hall of famer already. She just is in, she’s in, simply,” Roddick said on the Served with Andy Roddick podcast.
“Swiatek, four Majors, nine WTA 1000 titles already, 20 total titles. You could chop her resume into a third and I think she would still have it. 100, some odd weeks at No. 1 since Ash Barty retired and handed the No. 1 ranking over to her. Swiatek is on her way to becoming one of the best players of all time.”
