Rafael Nadal Invites Iga Swiatek to His Academy in Mallorca

Recently, we saw 19-year old Iga Swiatek win her first-ever Grand Slam at the French Open. The young teenager from Poland played some amazing tennis and won the title without dropping a set. Seeing her amazing game, many might wonder where she trained. Well, she trained at the academy of one of the greatest tennis players of all time – Rafael Nadal.
When she practiced there, she never got to talk to Rafa which was very unfortunate for her. However, she did get to talk to him when the pair were interviewed together recently. In this talk, Iga revealed this detail about her time at the academy, and in response to this, Nadal said, “You have to come back, then we can practice a little bit together.”
Aww… Rafa can't help smiling from ear to ear while Iga says they'd never talked before, not even when she was at the RNA. ☺️
I really hope she comes back to the RNA and has the chance to talk to him and practice with him! 🥰https://t.co/wTBAXVkuc0 pic.twitter.com/UFnH4eyy87

The Spaniard has won neither of these events in his career, and that is probably why he has decided to participate. He has already had an incredible year and let’s hope he can make it even better by winning both titles.
