Polish youngster Iga Swiatek has already found a place in history books. The 19-year-old became the first woman from Poland to find a spot in the finals of the Roland Garros after defeating Nadia Podoroska in straight sets.
The victory not only ensured her a place into the finals but also brought in hefty praises from all sides. Former world number 1 Martina Navratilova is impressed with the youngster’s performance.
Iga’s ability to defend and attack with equal tenacity has awed Navratilova beyond measure. She predicts that neither Sofia Kenin nor Petra Kvitova will be able to defeat the youngster.
