Tennis great Novak Djokovic has regained his No. 1 position from Carlos Alcaraz. Novak has won his second-round match in the US Open and is looking to win back his trophy after two years of not participating in the US Open. In his recent interview, he heartily acclaimed Iga Swiatek, the World No. 1 in the women’s category, and further acknowledged Iga’s devotion and fighting spirit towards the sport.

In a recent interview, the Serb was asked about his thoughts on Iga Swiatek. “Well, Iga has been dominating the women’s game the last couple of years; she is a multiple Grand Slam winner. I love her, you know, devotion, dedication.” said World No. 1.

Nole continued to praise Iga for being too modest and humble to accept that she had a fiery spirit in her. He admires her professionalism and dedication to her craft, evident in the way she takes every single point seriously. 

Iga Swiatek has won many championships over the years and Djokovic rightfully appreciated her by saying “Actually she has probably the most bagels of anyone in women’s tennis the last few years. It speaks about how seriously and professionally she’s taking every single point and game on the court.” 

Furthermore, the tennis professional expressed his profound admiration for Iga Swiatek by calling her a “warrior” and appreciating how she is leading the women’s league.

Novak Djokovic then went on to share his opinion about another rising star, Coco Gauff. The Serbian legend admired the fighting spirit of both Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, as they took every point seriously and never gave up.

Djokovic and Swiatek are two of the most dominating figures in tennis. As Iga looks to defend her US Open title, Novak returns to the hard courts to get his throne back. However, with emerging players advancing to subsequent rounds, it is going to only get harder for the champions to hold on to their trophies.

With that being said, there is no denying the fact that this truly shows the incredible sportsman spirit in Novak, as he doesn’t have any problem appreciating other players from the bottom of his heart. His praise is a sign of respect from one of the greatest players in the world to the rising star of tennis.
