Iga Swiatek is giddy over finally getting to meet Rafael Nadal (virtually). You'd think the two would have crossed paths in Paris where they both won Roland Garros titles without losing a set, but given the social distanced protocols and staggered finals, they didn't get the chance to hang out.

Judging by the screenshot, the topic of conversation may have concerned yachts—Nadal is a proud yacht-owner and Swiatek dreams of buying one in the future.

Swiatek has well on her way after bursting onto the scene by winning her maiden major unseeded and rising inside the Top 20. She was recently featured on Behind the Racquet, where she shared a little more of her story.

The 19-year-old has stressed the importance of her mental work time and time again, even having her psychologist Daria Abramowicz joining her on tour.

"I always wanted to work with a psychologist," Swiatek writes. "There is a belief that psychologists are only for people who have problems but I feel like psychologists are for people who want to improve."

Whatever she has been doing, it is clearly working.
