Chris Evert makes bold Iga Swiatek prediction ahead of Wimbledon

suek is once again the top seat at Wimbledon and she is coming off yet another incredible clay Court Season as she won the three biggest titles on the surface after lifting trophies at Roland garos Rome and Madrid though poll though will start next week's grand slam without any matches under her belt on grass this year as she opted to skip the Berlin ladies open following an extended campaign on clay and there is also the small m of the Olympics after Wimbledon an 18-time major winner ever admits Paris 2024 could have an impact on swex performance at sw19 I think the three weeks in between the majors helps to a certain extent it's not only the French Open you have to look at what IG did before the French Open The Americans said during ESPN's preview for the tournament di could be wrong but five or six tournaments five tournaments on Clay every time I turn on the tennis channel she was out there playing she played a lot out of tournaments I know she talked about how exhausted she was there's a let down when you win the French Open when you win a major there's a real let down there's wear and tear on the body you're exhausted you can't just go right to Grass 3 days later and start practicing it's almost like you need a week off just to get back on track she pulled out of Berlin I believe sh she pulled out of a grasscourt tournament here ver also concedes that sutic will struggle against big servers like Arena sabalenka and Alena rakina on grass while her effective sliding technique on Clay doesn't work on the challenging grass however the three-time Wimbledon champion insists you cannot write swatek off as a Challenger for the title she added I know I wonder where her head is right now as far as Wimbledon it certainly is the most challenging of all of the majors because of several things her sweet spot again is shoulder High where she hits her winners
