Jimmy Connors dzieli się swoją teorią na temat tego, dlaczego Iga Świątek straciła formę i mówi jej, co ma robić dalej.

Swiatek has been under pressure on serve in particular, which have been a large contributing factor in her recent defeats.

All of her past three losses have come against teenagers, including Swiatek being stunned by Alexandra Eala at the Miami Open.

Some have suggested that Swiatek’s Australian Open defeat to Madison Keys has played a big part in her loss of confidence, which former world number one Jimmy Connors appears to have noticed.

Jimmy Connors shares theory over why Iga Swiatek has lost form
Swiatek has been noticeably more frustrated at recent tournaments, as Aryna Sabalenka extended her lead at the top of the WTA rankings.

Sabalenka won the Miami Open, leading to Connors questioning whether Swiatek’s rival succeeding is affecting her own self belief.

When discussing this on the Advantage Connors Podcast, the eight-time major champion told Swiatek what she needed to do to return to form.

“Iga has fallen off a little from when she was dominating,” said Connors. “I wonder if she has lost a little confidence. Sabalenka has taken over and a lot of notoriety and titles have fallen her way.

“I wonder if Iga sees that, so what do you do? You have to work harder. When I would fall from number one behind [Bjorn] Borg or [Boris] Becker or [Ivan] Lendl I would just pull up my boots straps and get going and try to do anything you can to get back into the picture.
