‘I’m Worried Every Day’ – Chris Evert Gets Real About Iga Swiatek Potentially Overtaking Her as the French Open Goat

The glorious moment has finally approached as Iga Swiatek is set to fight for her fourth Roland Garros title. With fans cheering at the top of their lungs, the Pole has taken the position against Jasmine Paolini at Phillippe-Chatrier. While everyone is quite confident and happy about Iga Swiatek’s dominant run, former pro Chris Evert analyzes her as a threat to her massive records.

It is hard to avoid listening to the thoughts of Chris Evert while spectating the Roland Garros action. As the former WTA star is officially holding the mic as a commentator, fans have mixed thoughts about her verdict. In a recent statement, Evert was cheekily asked if she was concerned about Iga Swiatek’s rapid run to add more titles to her bucket.

“I’m worried about it every day. When I put my head under the pillow I’m worried about Iga,” she said, matching up with the same tone as the question. Along with that, she also affirmed a massive record for Iga Swiatek, predicting that she could touch a double-digit grand slam score.

“I think Iga Świątek will end up on double digits,” she added, garnering the attention of fans gathered around in the glorious arena. This statement came up with an obvious justification. Chris Evert, who managed to gather 18 grand slam titles in all, lifted the French Open trophy seven times in her career. On the other side, Iga, at just the age of 23, has started to unleash her dominance and already has 3 Roland Garros titles in her name and is aiming for the fourth.

As Chris Evert affirmed a bright future for the Pole, it is yet to be seen if she will be able to add another one to her budding portfolio. However, besides Evert, other WTA legends came forward to regard her win.

Martina Navratilova hands over the trophy to Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek’s recent win marked a special moment for the 4-time winner. While her consecutive victory deserved being regarded by a special figure, former pro Martina Navratilova was chosen to do the honor. The crowd surrounding Phillipe-Chatrier was already passionate enough to celebrate Iga’s dominant win. Although the action came to an end soon enough, the post-match ceremony became a center of attraction for the fans.

Martina Navratilova, who herself earned two glorious wins on the same ground handed over the glittering trophy to the Pole. Along with that, she also remembered Chris Evert as this day marked 50 years of the former pro’s first victory at Roland Garros. Although she now finds herself involved in different aspects of the sport, her name falls under the spotlight every now and then!
