‘Dominant’ Iga Swiatek ‘will win Wimbledon at some point’ claims former world No 4…..

will not play on grass before the tournament this year, withdrawing from the Berlin Open.

However, former British No 1 Konta believes that the Pole is a leading contender to one day lift the Venus Rosewater Dish.

“I think she’ll be looking to take it one match at a time as she does every tournament she plays,” said Konta, speaking at a ‘Pickleball Slam’ event in London.

“I believe it is only a matter of time – she will win Wimbledon at some point. If it’s not this year, it might be next year, if not it might by the following year.“I still see Aryna [Sabalenka] as one of the big frontrunners as well. To defend her Australian Open title, and she has been really dominant as well. For me it is them two – I think they are the best two players right now.”She added: “I think what Iga has done so tremendously well is keep improving while she is at the top.

“She has continued to evolve as a player, and shown maturity on court, and because she’s been able to do that she’s been able to stay so dominant – which is reasonably unique for us on the women’s side.
