“Happy for her. She’s fresh. She’s natural. She’s young.”says Nadal
Swiatek first broke through at the Grand Slam level when she stormed to the 2020 Roland Garros title without dropping more than five games in a single match.
This season, she claimed the World No. 1 ranking for the first time in April and has won five WTA Tour titles on the season, proving herself a class apart from her competitors.
“It was a big surprise probably the first time, that couple of years ago when she won here,” Nadal reflected, “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.”
Nadal offered similar praise in Rome: “She’s doing amazing things, no? Playing amazing and winning every single event she played, the last four in a row. Winning Indian Wells and Miami in a row, something difficult.”
Swiatek’s win streak now spans five events: Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart and Rome.
“Just happy for her,” Nadal added. “She’s very spontaneous and natural girl. Is good to have girls like this, good people like her having success.”
