Tennis icons retire, leaving only memories and videos to remember what they once were, and that's what happens with Rafa Nadal. Iga Swiatek misses the Balearic athlete a lot, as she stated before the WTA Finals: "I learned to have a fighting spirit thanks to Rafa. Honestly... I miss him a lot, I watch his videos and think I hope to see him live again. I am glad to have had the opportunity to play tennis at the same time as him, so I could live that experience and find inspiration," commented the Polish player.
Swiatek: What I took from Rafa is the way he never gave up... Honestly I really miss Rafa. I've been watching videos randomly. I'm like I wish I could see this live again. Glad I had a chance to play tennis at the same time as him so I could experience it & find some inspiration. pic.com/7jFnpCoRHz

Great start for Elena Rybakina at the WTA Finals 2025, with a victory over Amanda Anisimova by 6-3 6-1. The Kazakh player was able to impose her game throughout and will now face the Polish player Iga Swiatek, who also had a spectacular start. After the match, Rybakina seemed pleased in her interview with Sky Sports: "I served very well, with a high percentage of first serves.

I am very happy and looking forward to the upcoming matches."
