Evert feels Swiatek can break her 7 French Open title record

Chris Evert and Iga Swiatek

No less an authority on clay-court tennis than Chris Evert thinks her record of seven French Open championships could be surpassed by Iga Swiatek. “Absolutely,” Evert, a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, said in a phone interview.


“Iga is a player on a mission. She’s more focused. She doesn’t get upset at all when she’s losing. She just has all the ingredients to be a champion. She really does. She checks all the boxes—the intangibles and the tangibles.”


Swiatek has been No. 1 in the WTA rankings for most of the past two years and will seek her fourth championship at Roland Garros and fifth Grand Slam trophy overall when play begins at the clay-court major tournament on Sunday.
