Here are a few more reactions from tennis fans to Hugh Jackman's Twitter post featuring Iga Swiatek:

Australian superstar Hugh Jackman is known to be an ardent tennis fan and has been spotted in the stands at various major tournaments over the years. Most recently, Jackman visited Arthur Ashe Stadium during the 2022 US Open to watch Serena Williams play in her opening match against Danka Kovinic.

Jackman posted a picture of himself and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness as they headed to Flushing Meadows to catch Williams playing. Jackman called Williams "an icon and a true inspiration."

"Off to the US Open to watch the one and only Serena Williams. Serena - Deb and I are so excited to watch you play and bear witness to your evolution for many years to come. You are an icon and a true inspiration to boys and girls around the world," Jackman wrote on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Iga Swiatek defeated Ons Jabeur in straight sets to clinch the US Open, her third Grand Slam singles title.

The sighting of popular figures was in abundance during the US Open final between Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur on Saturday, and the presence of one particular actor caught the attention of Swiatek herself.

Star of the hit sitcom 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S.', Matthew Perry was in the stands during the final and Swiatek could not contain her excitement upon spotting one of her favorite actors during the match.

"Me when I really wanted to be focused but I saw @MatthewPerry on the screen during the changeover. Could this BE any more exciting?" Swiatek wrote on Twitter after her match.

The US Open title was Swiatek's first Major title on hardcourts and her second Grand Slam title of the 2022 season, having won the French Open in 2020 and 2022. The Polish superstar also set the record of a 37-match winning streak earlier this year, the most for a WTA player since the turn of the century.
