They asked the young Pole if he would win against Iga Świątek. He surprised
Iga Świątek started this year’s Wimbledon adventure with a 6:3, 6:4 victory over Sofia Kenin. This result confirms that Iga is in really good shape regardless of the surface. Questions are often asked whether the player, when she is in such good shape, would be able to beat a player from the ATP ranking. Maks Kaśniowski (193rd racket in the ranking) answered the question in the program “Halo tu Wimbledon” whether he would beat Świątek.”I’m having a great season. And that helps me, because I don’t have to worry about points, I can just focus on what I want. It’s much easier not to look at the bracket, just focus on the next day, do everything step by step,” said Świątek after her impressive victory over Sofia Kenin . The Pole’s form is truly incredible. Suffice it to say that she lost her last match on April 20, when the Pole was defeated by Jelena Rybakina in the semi-finals of the tournament in Stuttgart.Recently, Maks Kaśnikowski spoke about Iga Świątek in the studio of the program “Halo tu Wimbledon”. The 20-year-old Polish tennis player was asked if he would be able to beat Iga Świątek. His answer may surprise you.
I think that with the level I am at right now, I could beat Iga Świątek — he said.
— I can’t guarantee that. It would definitely be a close match. I don’t want to make any statements. Iga is playing great, but for now, such a match won’t happen. If I make it to a Grand Slam, then maybe I’ll ask her about training and we’ll play a sparring set — assured Kaśnikowski.
