Iga Swiatek entered the press room a few minutes after confirming her victory over Paula Badosa in the Billie Jean King Cup 2024. The world number two revealed that she had a meeting with Rafa Nadal five minutes before her match: "It's always nice to see Rafa, and I will watch his matches online. I have mixed feelings; I'm happy that he can start a new chapter, and I'm happy that he can also have a good ending here at the Davis Cup, a tournament he loves and in Spain. On the other hand, I will miss watching him on the court a lot. Honestly, he was the only player I watched, so I don't know if I will continue watching tennis now. He is a great inspiration."
