World No. 1 Iga Swiatek sent out a classy message to Aryna Sabalenka, congratulating one of her biggest rivals on “an impressive” Australian Open triumph.
On Saturday, 25-year-old Sabalenka lifted her second Grand Slam title after ousting Zheng Qinwen 6-3 6-2 in the Australian Open final. En route to defending her Australian Open title, Sabalenka was pretty impressive and ruthless as the Belarusian did not drop a single set at Melbourne Park this year.
Swiatek, who was regarded as one of the top favorites for the Australian Open title, saw her campaign shockingly come to an end in the third round with a loss to Linda Noskova. While it was a disaster of the Australian Open for Swiatek, it didn’t prevent her from issuing a classy message to Sabalenka.
“Congrats @SabalenkaA on 2nd title in Australia, impressive!” Swiatek wrote on X.
Responding to the congratulatory message, Sabalenka wrote: “Thank you Iga.”
Thank you Iga🤩🫶
