It seems that Christmas is arriving early this year at this weird French Open. Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek have won the Roland Garros after 2 inspiring runs. Of course, Rafa and Iga are in a completely different moment of their careers. At 34 years of age, Rafa has just won his 13th French open title while Iga has just won her 1st. However, there are a couple of things in common as follows.
Christmas with Swiatek and Nadal
Iga and Rafa won this major dismantling the opposition without dropping a single set. Second, and more interesting, the meaning of Swiatek (Polish) and Nadal (Catalan) is the same: Christmas.
Therefore, it is nice to see that if you type swiatek (polish) on google translator, then the Translation in Catalan is Nadal.
Predestination?
🙈Congratulations @RafaelNadal! It's amazing to kind of share this experience with you. Am I even allowed to say this?🙈
