Great Britain star Andy Murray has picked out his favourite player to watch on the WTA Tour.
The legendary figure has been speaking on The Tennis Podcast.
So, what has Murray said about his favourite player to watch on the WTA Tour? Let’s take a closer look…
Andy Murray picks out favourite WTA Tour star
Well, it will come as no surprise that Murray has picked out Iga Swiatek as his favourite female player to watch.
The world number is only 22-years-old and has won four Grand Slam titles already in her career.
Swiatek was born in Warsaw, Poland and has been at the summit of the world rankings since November of last year.
Murray has been asked who his favourite female player to watch is and he named the Polish player.
He told The Tennis Podcast: “On the women’s side I love watching Iga. She’s brilliant to watch. She’s my favourite player to watch on the women’s side.”
Swiatek has been handed a bit of a raw deal with the draw at Indian Wells.
She could meet her nemesis from the Australian Open, Linda Noskova in the third round and revenge could be in her sights.
Swiatek will hope to park disappointing Australian Open
It’s not really a surprise that Murray has selected the world number one as the player he likes to watch the most.
Swiatek has proved a revelation and with four majors to her name already, the future looks very bright indeed.
It was a huge shock when the best player in the world crashed out of the Australian Open in the third round in Melbourne.
That will have poked the bear somewhat though and now she will be focusing on the other majors this year.
Indian Wells is a good opportunity for Swiatek to get back into top form and she will be hoping to impress this week at the tournament.
