Rafa Nadal, present at Iga Swiatek's last practice
Iga Swiatek surprised the world by announcing that Francis Roig will become her new coach right from the start of the clay-court season. In her latest interview, the Polish player hinted that Rafael Nadal had advised her regarding this hiring... and in her recent training session at the Nadal Academy, we witnessed the scene we were all waiting for: Rafa himself present, just like any other, observing closely someone who has always declared herself as his great admirer. A beautiful image, perhaps, of what 'Coach Rafa' could be in the future.
🥹 Coachdal with Iga today
