Exactly. Olympia has more slam titles to her name than the whole of Tennis Frontier combined...

Did I fail to mention she inherited some GOAT genes while on her way to winning that lone slam title?

Besides Iga and Muga...this has got to be the worst group of non accomplished players in years IMO

Besides Iga and Muga...this has got to be the worst group of non accomplished players in years IMO

Which is worse, Muga has to the most mentally most inconsistent player player of the bunch, just as capable of making a Major finals as losing in the first round on any given day....

Besides Iga and Muga...this has got to be the worst group of non accomplished players in years IMO

Muga has lost the plot,she had the game years back and we all thought she would go on with it, this is not happening today, she has talen a WC before RG after going out early in other clay tournaments

Iga is a sweetheart, isn't she? She has to be one of the best advertisements for the sport ever. Her attitude is from the top drawer. I just hope she sustains this level through Paris, and the rest of the summer...

Personally at present I cannot see there is anyone that can match her in defense/offense capacity on the clay, she reminds me of Justine Henin, she took Madrid off to freshen,actually went to Rafa's academy for a few days of practice and came back and won Rome without dropping a set.

She's on a roll. I love her association with Rafa too - she couldn't have a better mentor...

Rafa has a new idol in Iga, she is obsessed with him, in a good way mind you.

Exactly. I think being around Rafa and learning from him will help her with everything, especially the mental side of the professional tennis life. Rafa has a great worldview perspective, and if Iga is as clever as she seems to be, she won't be a player who gets sidetracked into distracting issues, modish victim narratives or career troughs due to losing her way through misplaced anxiety...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga used to suffer badly with mental anxious,, she has hired a full time sports psychologist to travel with her on tour, remember too she is just 20 years old, turning 21 in a few weeks time

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Olympic silver medalist Laura Robson who reached 4th rd at Wimbledon and the US OPen ( as well as the worlds top 30) as a teenager has confirmed her retirement to BBC sport.Wrist surgery and then 3 hip operations stopped her in her tracks.
"I think I'm always going to have the feeling that I could have done more,unfortunately" she said.

Rafael Nadal named as tennis GOAT ahead of Djokovic or Federer

RAFAEL NADAL has been named as tennis' greatest player by women's world No.1 Iga Swiatek, who has made no secret of her admiration for the Spaniard in the past.

So you are saying that Team Nadal is Dr Frankenstein and Iga is their monster. Jajaja

Seriously, I am surprised that more tennis stars doesn't frequent the Nadal Academy to learn how to train mentally like a champion
