After a dominant run to her fourth French Open title, Iga Swiatek showed her sportsmanship by reaching out to both Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz to congratulate them on their own triumphs at Roland Garros. Swiatek, who has established herself as the queen of clay in recent years, took time after her win to acknowledge the achievements of her fellow tennis stars, both of whom had significant victories of their own.
Coco Gauff, at just 21 years old, captured her first-ever French Open title in the women’s doubles alongside partner Jessica Pegula. The American star continues to build on her promising career, and Swiatek made sure to send her a heartfelt message praising her grit and growth. The two players have faced off several times in high-stakes matches, including Grand Slam finals, and there is clearly a mutual respect that has developed between them.
On the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz made history by winning his first French Open title, becoming the youngest man to win Grand Slams on all three surfaces. Swiatek, who is close in age to Alcaraz, highlighted the magnitude of his achievement and called it inspiring. Her message emphasized how both players continue to push the sport forward and motivate one another across the ATP and WTA tours.
Swiatek’s messages to Gauff and Alcaraz reflect not only her admiration for their performances but also her character as a leader in tennis. As she cements her own legacy on clay, she remains connected to the broader tennis community, encouraging rising stars and celebrating their milestones. Her words resonated with fans who appreciated the unity among the sport’s top young talents.
