The tennis world's reactions to seeing Iga Swiatek training at the Rafa Nadal Academy under the guidance of Francis Roig and with advice from Rafael Nadal have been swift. In the podcast with Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula, both American tennis players were amazed by the news and made humorous comments about it. "When I saw it, I thought, my God. The last thing we needed was this. Facing Iga on clay is scary," said Keys, echoed by her friend Pegula. "I told myself when I saw the video that it was terrible news for the others...That should be prohibited, it should be illegal!" she joked.
