Wimbledon is around the corner and tennis experts and legends have already started picking favorites and making predictions. Former coach of Serena Williams, Rick Macci, already revealed Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner as his favorites to bag the glory. Given her winning streak, Iga Swiatek is also picked as a favorite to win another Slam.

The top seeds could not even manage to win a set against Swiatek. The world number one is currently eyeing her fifth Grand Slam and first Wimbledon title. Commenting on this, Boris Becker offered his prediction on her career and recent wins.

Grandeur is waiting to embrace Iga Swiatek

In an interview with ‘Eurosport,’ Becker voiced out his take on the players and analyzed how far they can go. The former ATP player predicts a splendid career for the world number one. He projected, “She is only 22 years old, and she still has her whole athletic life ahead of her. So I see no reason why she can’t win ten or 15 Grand Slam titles if she stays motivated.”

Becker remarked, “That’s always the big question, especially when you have success at such a young age. Do you still feel like repeating yourself in five years or do you have to keep reinventing yourself? But from the way she plays, her attitude, her fitness, I don’t see any reason why she shouldn’t reach double-digit Grand Slam wins.”

Speaking about Swiatek’s play in the future, the 55-year-old believed that history is in the making. He further added that the road to her conquest is quite clear as she is young, fit, and displaying perfect play. The German professional commented that she is perfect as she is and can continue her play without changing herself.

Rivalry is much needed in WTA

The six-time Grand Slam winner opined that healthy competition in WTA helps the Tennis world and the players to grow professionally. He felt WTA needs a rivalry like ‘The Big 3.’ Becker said, “The question is the rivalry; the women need it as much as the men.”

Becker stated, “For Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer were important, and for Swiatek, it will be important that  Sabalenka continues to improve, that Muchova continues to play well, Ons Jabeur, I also want to mention here, Coco Gauff, I would also like to see in the final again.”

He further continued, “For me, these are the best women, and when there is healthy competition, then the players really enjoy it. They are all competitors, they want to measure themselves against each other, and that is also a good sign for Swiatek.” 

Becker is keen to experience what Tennis holds for the players in the future, and so are we! For instance, Swiatek’s performance on the grass was never perfect. Will she continue to be undefeated on grass as she was on clay?
