“She’s a Legend”: Iga Swiatek Reveals Her Dream of Playing With Serena Williams

19-year-old Iga Swiatek recently won her first Masters 1000 title at the Italian Open 2021. Interestingly, she double-bageled Karolina Pliskova in the finals to clinch the Italian Open 2021 trophy. She led a fabulous campaign in Rome and lost just a single set in the whole tournament. The final scoreline of the finale was 6-0, 6-0.

In a recent interview, Iga Swiatek opened about her future dreams in tennis. She revealed that she would love to face Serena Williams on the court one day- a thing she is yet to accomplish in her career.

“There are more female players that I appreciate and respect. However, my dream is to face Serena Williams. It has not yet been given to me. She’s a legend, you don’t need to argue that,” said Swiatek in the interview. (Translated by Google Translate)

Swiatek hailed Williams as a legend of the sport. Both are playing at the French Open 2021 and there are chances that Swiatek’s dream might come true in Paris this year.

“Would like that, regardless of the outcome”- Iga Swiatek on playing a match against Serena Williams

Swiatek stated that she is really excited to play Williams in the future. She highlighted that she is not at all worried about the result as she only wants to meet and face Serena on the court. She also reflected that she just needs to feel the experience of facing the 23-time Grand Slam champion as a tennis player.

“I would like that, regardless of the outcome and the course of the meeting. To just have that experience as a tennis player,” added the Polish player.

After conquering Rome, Iga Swiatek will head to Paris where she’ll have to defend her title this time. The youngster looks in some amazing form and can surely retain the French Open title this year.

On the other hand, Serena suffered two humiliating defeats in her last three matches on clay. She last won the French Open title in 2015 and hasn’t been in great form on clay lately. Will Serena be able to stun everyone and lift her 24th Grand Slam title in Paris this year?
