Roger Federer, Iga Świątek
Swiss Tennis maestro Roger Federer applauded Iga Swiatek’s amazing around-the-post shot during the ongoing United Cup tournament in Australia. On the first day of the year, Swiatek produced an unreal shot that stamped her authority on the court. Her much-talked shot kept social media busy for rest of the day.
Partnering with Hubert Hurkacz in the mixed doubles match, Swiatek produced a jaw-dropping shot that stunned every tennis fan. She hit a backhand on full stretch around the post to win a crucial point for her team. The World No 1 later took to social media to ask for Federer’s approval on the shot.
Swiatek first asked Federer for his approval on Twitter by tagging him in the tweet. Do you approve @rogerfederer?
20-time Grand Slam champion Federer was as stunned as everyone else and replied with a huge applause. “That was crazy,” he wrote with many surprised-look emojis.
Iga Swiatek looking forward to winning more titles in the 2023 season
World No 1 Polish star Iga Swiatek has started her 2023 campaign at the United Cup in Australia. Coming out of an incredible 2022 season, she is looking set as a clear favorite in this season too. Tunisian World No. 2 Ons Jabeur is among the players who can give her some challenge on the court.
The 21-year-old gave a great start to the season by scoring a win against Yulia Putintseva in Brisbane representing her team Poland. As the season progresses Swiatek is looking to add some more titles to her tally. Swiatek has also sounded a clear warning to her opponents.
“I feel like I’m getting stronger and stronger in my mind, so maybe I’m going to be able to control that,” she said earlier. Despite being way ahead of her opponents, Swiatek does not feel overconfident. “It’s not going to be helpful,” she expressed herself.
