Iga Swiatek vowed not to underestimate Czech underdog Karolina Muchova in the French Open final on Saturday.
World No. 43 was the surprise of the tournament but Swiatek knows her well, having lost their only previous encounter in 2019.
The Polish world number 1 said: “She’s a player who can do it all. She has a great touch and can step up the game. She plays with freedom in her movements and great technique.’
After knocking out world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka on Thursday, Muchova will need another career-best performance to prevent Swiatek from claiming her third Roland Garros crown in four years.
