Roland-Garros Magazine: Iga's story in pictures

With Rafael Nadal

I admire Rafael Nadal as a player and respect him as a human. His fighting spirit is unique - a true champion in sport and in life. Rafa always fights until the end. He is a kind of tennis warrior. His left-handed forehand was an amazing stroke that has won him many tournaments. When it comes to style of play and personality, I think I’m close to Rafa. He had a huge impact on me, my perception of tennis and my career. I miss him on the tour now and I hope that we will meet on a court again during some charity projects.
