Iga Swiatek received a graceful note from Aryna Sabalenka complimenting her on her excellent performance and fourth French Open victory.
In addition to completing a three-peat, 23-year-old Swiatek defeated Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 6-1 on Saturday to win her fourth French Open title in her sixth try. With just four more French Open victories to go, Swiatek will surpass Chris Evert’s record of eight.
Additionally, Swiatek now owns five Grand Slam victories, which is quite remarkable given that she only turned 23 on May 31st.
Sabalenka wrote on X: “Wow, @iga_swiatek, impressive stuff. Congrats on another one.”
Shortly after Sabalenka posted the message, Swiatek responded: “Thank you, Aryna. I appreciate it.”
