At this time, you are probably all aware of the awesome performances of Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek. While Rafa scored his 14th French Open title (!), Iga continued an unbelievable string of amazing tennis. Although they are both amazing clay court players, what are the other commonalities they share? Both are incredibly mentally tough. Rafa is probably the most mentally tenacious tennis player ever, although he overcame a serious foot injury, lack of play, and a sub-par clay-court season, to win another great French Open. Swiatek, who has a full-time Sports Psychologist, Daria Abramovicz, overcame a tough draw and played her best tennis when it counts. She rides an incredible 35-match win streak into the grass court season! Congrats to both as they build their success on the solid foundation of mental toughness!
