"So happy for you" - Lindsey Vonn expresses delight as Iga Swiatek wins her 4th French Open title

Former American alpine skiing Olympian Lindsey Vonn shared her admiration for WTA World No. 1 Iga Swiatek as she won her fourth overall French Open title on June 8. The former took it to social media and posted a special message for Swiatek.

Swiatek remained undefeated throughout Roland-Garros this year; she overcame Leolia Jeanjean in the first round, Naomi Osaka in the second, Marie Bouzkova in the third, and Anastasia Potapova in the fourth round.

In the semifinal, she defeated America's Coco Gauff 6-2, 6-4 to advance to the final where she met 12th seed Jasmine Paolini and bested her 6-2, 6-1 to win her third consecutive French Open title and her fourth overall.

The Pole garnered appreciation from all over the world. Joining in was Lindsey Vonn, who shares a special bond with quite a few legendary tennis players, and Iga Swiatek is surely one of them. So much so that the skier closely followed Swiatek's French Open games and kept cheering for the 23-year-old.

When Swiatek finally won the title, Vonn re-shared Rolex's post celebrating her title victory on her X handle (formerly Twitter) and wrote:

"So happy for you @iga_swiatek."
