Iga Swiatek is going through a tough season and a minor crisis of results. In fact, a few months ago, she parted ways with Wim Fissette and brought in Francis Roig as her new coach. As a result of this partnership, Rafa Nadal attended some of her training sessions in Mallorca, and the Polish tennis player revealed how much his presence helped her to rekindle her joy for tennis.

"It was a great privilege after those tough tournaments in the United States, and thanks to that, I was able to feel joy again on the court, because I remembered as a child why I loved playing tennis and what I felt when I watched him play. I also remembered all his values and how he overcame difficult situations in his career. Having him there makes you remember all of that, and he is a great example to follow, so it gave me a very positive boost and a ray of hope," she confessed in an interview with 'The Times'.

Swiatek is in good hands to return to her former self

Nadal is Swiatek's idol, so his help means everything to the Polish player. With the official union with Roig, a former coach of Rafa, Iga traveled to the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca to prepare for a few weeks and start their partnership, and the former world number 1 attended several trainings to contribute his bit and try to bring out the best in Swiatek, something that was very helpful.

So far, the Polish tennis player has not managed to rediscover her best form, but she knows that this is a long-term endeavor and that if she puts in the effort, she will gradually return to be the player who amazed the world. She is in good hands, and if she can also count on the occasional help of a legend like Nadal, the results will soon follow.
