Iga Swiatek called Novak Djokovic’s praise “nice” and thanked the Serb for making such comments about her game. At the US Open, record 23-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic spoke extremely highly of Swiatek’s game as he provided a list of reasons why he finds the Pole an incredibly admirable player.
“Well, Iga has been dominating the women’s game last couple of years, multiple Grand Slam winner. I love her, you know, devotion, dedication. Also, you know, maybe she’s too humble to say, too modest to say, but she’s got a great fighting spirit, no doubt.
She’s a warrior, goes out there and, you know, doesn’t give a single game. Actually she has probably the most bagels of anyone in women’s tennis the last few years. It speaks about how seriously and professionally she’s taking every single point and game on the court.
So that’s very admirable. I really like that kind of champion spirit and mindset,” Djokovic said.
