"It's special" - Rafael Nadal praises Iga Swiatek for incredible achievments

Iga Swiatek has named Rafael Nadal her idol many times and the duo have spent time together on the court practising and exchanging wisdom.

Some of that wisdom from Nadal certainly helped Swiatek because she is having a tremendous season notching her 30th consecutive win a few days ago in Paris. Asked about her, Nadal was quick to praise her:

"She's winning very easy. That's special and very difficult. I saw her play a couple of matches and seems like today she's over the rest. That's what the results say, because when somebody like her is winning the tournaments and is winning with these results, I mean, it's something special, no?"

He continued:

"It was a big surprise probably the first time, that couple of years ago when she won here, but the way that she's playing this year looks unstoppable. But let's let her play with calm and without an extra pressure, because probably for her, after the last results, [it] will be an important one here."

Swiatek was recently asked about playing mixed doubles with him and she had a proper fan moment admitting she would be thrilled to do that but she also wants him to focus on singles and score some more wins:

"Oh, my God. I would love to play mixed doubles with Rafa. I think it would be really great experience. But when was the last time he played mixed doubles? I want him to be focused on singles."
