There was also Coco Gauff, who enjoyed a very strong summer, becoming a Grand Slam champion at the US Open. Ahead of the 2024 season, world No 1 Swiatek believes the top female players have been showing a consistent level over the last few years.
“The women’s tennis has been at a consistent level for the last couple of seasons. Me, Aryna and Elena, I feel, are standing out and playing consistently but there others who are also just trying to get better. However, for me there is no difference.
I like to work at my own pace, but when somebody is competing with you and keeps pushing you then it has a positive impact and a negative impact, but I don’t over analyse it,” Swiatek told Gulf News.
