Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz laud Iga Swiatek for her French Open triumph

Iga Swiatek won the 2023 French Open

Iga Swiatek received congratulatory messages from Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz after she won the women's singles championship at the 2023 French Open.

Swiatek had a strong start to the match, having won all her previous sets in the tournament. She won the first set 6-2 but Muchova fought back and took the second set 7-5 to force a decider.

Swiatek prevailed in the final set 6-4 despite Muchova's opportunities. She claimed her fourth Grand Slam trophy and became the first woman to defend her title at the French Open since Justine Henin did so in 2007.

The Pole posted a picture of herself holding the Suzanne Lenglen Cup on Instagram, which drew reactions from several people, including the 22-time Major champion and Alcaraz.

The Serb commented "Congratulations Iga" along with a few emojis on the 22-year-old's image while Alcaraz wrote:

Djokovic and Alcaraz met in the semifinals of the French Open. The Serb won the first set 6-3 but the Spaniard bounced back and won the second set 7-5.

However, Alcaraz started to suffer from cramps and could not keep up with the 36-year-old physically. The Serb dominated the next two sets 6-1, 6-1, and advanced to his 34th Grand Slam final.

The Serb will face Casper Ruud, who made it to the final of the French Open for two consecutive years.

They will play each other for the fifth time, with the veteran having won all their previous matches. Their most recent encounter was in the summit clash of the 2022 ATP Finals in Turin, where the senior triumphed 7-5, 6-3.
