Iga Swiatek was crowned this Saturday as the champion of Roland Garros. The world number 1 added his third title on Parisian clay, a figure that puts him among the best in recent history.
In this way, it is equivalent to players of the stature of Arantxa Sánchez Vicario or Monica Selesalthough it is still far from Chris Evert’s 7 titles or Steffi Graf’s 6, not to mention Rafa Nadal’s 14 titles.
The Spaniard is the great idol of Swiatek, who does not miss the opportunity to show him his great admiration. This time it’s reversed, and Rafa used his Instagram account to congratulate the Polish people after his victory.
“Congratulations Iga, you are great!” were the words I used to accompany a picture of the champion in the locker room with the trophy.
But it didn’t stop there. The champion of 22 Grand Slam titles added another pair of ‘stories’, one with a classic photo at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and the other with text where, Besides congratulating him again, he invited him to the graduation, on Wednesday, of the students of his academy in Manacor.
A new sample of the great relationship that the king and queen of the clay court have.
