Iga Swiatek Trained by Rafael Nadal at Academy Amid Ranking Decline

Iga Swiatek, the 24-year-old Polish tennis star, is training at Rafael Nadal's academy in Mallorca under the guidance of Nadal's former coach Francisco Roig. The four-time French Open champion, now ranked No. 4 after a bruising period that included a second-round loss at Miami Open, is working to rediscover her dominant form by addressing technical issues including footwork, serve, and a tendency to overpress in tight matches. Swiatek, who idolized Nadal as a teenager and has incorporated his heavy topspin into her forehand, parted ways with previous coach Wim Fissette last month and is now focused on rebuilding her game ahead of the Madrid Open.
