Robson and Schett believe women's tennis is in a great place: "Swiatek dominated the whole WTA Tour, but this year, I think it’s going to look very different"

Laura Robnson and Barbara Schett believe that women's tennis is in a great place with all the young players emerging right now and the established veterans.

Both of them agree that the domination of Swiatek will likely come to an end because there is simply too much talent on the Tour right now. Swiatek already showed in Australia that things are going to be very tough for her when some of the better players like Rybakina hit a high level. She's likely going to stay number one but both expect far more parity.

Robson explained that fans should not worry about the WTA game:

“I think the fans have it good on the women’s side. When you look at the contrast and the play styles with Iga, Sabalenka, Jabeur… the list goes on. Even someone like Pegula, where I thought that this might be her chance. She is right up there as well with the top players, and I love that they’re all pushing each other along."

She added:

"Everyone thinks that they have a really good chance. It’s going to be a different challenge for Swiatek to defend all those points that she made in 2022. I’m looking forward to seeing how it pans out.”

Schett added:

“What can people expect from the women’s tour? It’s all open. Remember, Swiatek dominated the whole WTA Tour, but this year, I think it’s going to look very different. Of course, Iga will be in the mix, but there will also be Sabalenka, Rybakina, Pegula… it’s going to be very exciting and we’re going to see lots of different Grand Slam finals. That sole domination of Swiatek might finish.”
