Iga Swiatek is going through a tough season and a small results crisis. In fact, a few months ago, she parted ways with Wim Fissette and brought Francis Roig on board 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 he helped her to enjoy tennis again.
"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 recalled all his values and how he overcame difficult situations in his career. Having him there makes you remember all that, and he is a great role model 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 the best hands to return to her former self
Nadal is Swiatek's idol, so his help means everything to the Polish tennis player. Upon their partnership with Roig, Rafa's former coach, Iga traveled to the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca to train for a few weeks and commence their alliance, and the former world number 1 attended several training sessions 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 this is a long-distance race and that if she makes an effort gradually, she will return to being the player who amazed the world. She is in good hands, and if she can also have the occasional help of a legend like Nadal results will soon be evident.
