The Australian now comments on the current landscape of tennis as a pundit and commentator, with Cash full of praise for Iga Swiatek<\/a> after her Wimbledon victory.<\/p>\n While this was Swiatek\u2019s first Wimbledon title<\/a>, she had won a Grand Slam before, and now Cash<\/a> has predicted two WTA<\/a> players to win a major for the first time in the future.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s singles final at Wimbledon this year was over in under an hour, with Swiatek thrashing Amanda Anisimova<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Despite not winning a single game in her first Grand Slam final, Cash has insisted his belief that Anisimova<\/a> will give herself more chances to win a major in the future.<\/p>\n Cash made some strong comments about Mirra Andreeva<\/a> after she lost her quarterfinal match at Wimbledon this year, but he has now also backed the Russian teenager as a future Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n \u201cIga Swiatek, well what an incredible performance,\u201d Cash said in a video on his Instagram. \u201cJunior Wimbledon champion, it was just a matter of time until she sort of cracked the grass at the main tour level, losing only two games in two matches. <\/p>\n \u201cYou know, she is the best athlete that is out there\u2026[Aryna] Sabalenka is of course big and powerful, but doesn\u2019t quite move like Iga. <\/p>\n \u201cHer intensity\u2026I love her intensity, the way she hits the ball and plays and her ruthlessness in the final against Anisimova, who will be back. You know, I think it was just a bit too much for her. <\/p>\n \u201cShe didn\u2019t actually hit the ball that badly, she just kept missing and then it got worse and worse and worse. But her and Andreeva, I think we will see as Grand Slam champions and finalists in the near future, so well done to Iga.\u201d<\/p>\n Best Grand Slam results of the current WTA top 10 <\/p>\n After winning her first title in 13 months, Swiatek has moved back up to world number three<\/a> in the WTA rankings and has extended her lead as the player inside the top 10 with the most Grand Slams.<\/p>\n There are currently four Grand Slam champions inside the WTA top 10, and every player has at least reached one major semifinal in their career.<\/p>\n Anisimova had reached the Roland Garros<\/a> semifinals as a teenager in 2019, but she has now improved on that at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n While Cash\u2019s other pick, Andreeva<\/a>, achieved her best result at a major tournament so far at Roland Garros last year when she reached the semifinals.<\/p>\n WTA RankingPlayerBest Grand Slam Result1Aryna SabalenkaWon the Australian Open (2023 & 2024) and the US Open (2024)2Coco GauffWon the US Open (2023) and Roland Garros (2025)3Iga SwiatekWon Roland Garros (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024), the US Open (2022) and Wimbledon (2025)4Jessica PegulaUS Open Final (2024)5Mirra AndreevaRoland Garros Semifinals (2024)6Qinwen ZhengAustralian Open Final (2024)7Amanda AnisimovaWimbledon Final (2025)8Madison KeysWon the Australian Open (2025)9Jasmine PaoliniRoland Garros Final (2024) and Wimbledon Final (2024)10Paula BadosaAustralian Open Semifinal (2025)<\/p>\n The next Grand Slam tournament on the horizon is the US Open, where Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka are backed as favourites<\/a>.<\/p>\n There will also be a big American threat at the US Open<\/a> this year, with former champion Coco Gauff<\/a>, Australian Open champion Madison Keys<\/a> and last year\u2019s runner-up Jessica Pegula<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pat Cash knows what it takes to win a Grand Slam title as a former Wimbledon champion.
