But I think Iga Swiatek will be the next No. 1 player, no one better than her. She is an extraordinary tennis player, a perfect athlete. She brings new energy to tennisalways playing with a fearless spirit.”

Swiatek won Roland Garros 2020 at the age of 19, more impressive when she did not lose a set at that tournament. In two encounters with Barty, Swiatek has won, at the Madrid Open 2021 and Adelaide 2022.

“I love training and playing with her (Swiatek). She’s a great tennis player, she was one of the first people to text when she heard I was retiring. I think she totally deserves it. 1st place,” added Barty.
