WATCH: Iga Swiatek accidentally skips over Serena Williams, picks Maria Sharapova's mentality & more for her 'perfect' player

Iga Swiatek recently participated in a popular trend of building a perfect tennis player by attributing a tennis skill to a player. The user has to select which of the tennis skills they would want in their perfect player from the option presented. The tennis skills are serve, forehand, backhand, mentality, touch, and speed.

Swiatek initially got Serena Williams, which left her awestruck as she could not decide which of her skills to use. The Pole joked that she wanted to put Williams down for 'everything', before agreeing upon the American's 'serve'. Before Swiatek had a chance to lock in her selection, the player changed to Daniil Medvedev.

Confused by what was happening, she sought help and proceeded to create her perfect player. The World No. 1 put Elena Rybakina for 'serve', Coco Gauff for 'backhand', Carlos Alcaraz for 'touch', Maria Sharapova for 'mentality', and Rafael Nadal for 'speed'.

However, she was surprised to see herself appear before deciding to go with her 'forehand'. The Pole was happy with her choices and said:

"It all makes sense so I am happy with my choices."

Also, just getting the satisfaction after really making progress in some things that weren't really working before," Swiatek said.
