Iga Świątek explains how coach Francisco Roig tore his Achilles — on a court in the middle of Rome
ROME — Iga Świątek’s coach, Francisco Roig, tore his right Achilles tendon when stretching for a volley as they played a practice match — with €100 ($118) at stake on a special clay court in the middle of Italy’s capital.“Yeah, I broke my coach’s Achilles,” Świątek told a few reporters in a mixed zone Friday after a three-set win over American world No. 63 Caty McNally at the Italian Open. Roig, a longtime coach of Rafael Nadal, watched the 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-3 win with his right leg heavily bandaged, after getting to his seat on crutches.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
