Tennis fans and players around the world were in pure awe of the amazing performance of Iga Swiatek in the 2023 French Open. Even Rafael Nadal reached out to Iga to give her the opportunity to have her moment at the Rafael Nadal Academy.

She dominated the tournament with her powerful forehand, precise serves, and agile footwork. Her remarkable performance at the French Open proved that she is a force to be reckoned with and has a bright future ahead of her in the sport.
