Iga Swiatek was one of the big names of yesterday's session. The Polish player achieved her first victory in her time with Francis Roig after a period of training in Mallorca, which she spoke about in great detail... highlighting the motivation she felt from sharing the court with her idol, Rafael Nadal Parera.

"It was a privilege and something very inspiring. I am always motivated before playing on clay, but seeing him on the court gave me an incredible boost of motivation. Honestly, I don't think I have ever spent as much time training as I did this time in Mallorca (smiles). It was a week full of hard work, but I was very happy about it," said the Polish player, and we will see if she adds Rafa to her team someday.
