Iga Swiatek was congratulated by Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski after she successfully regained her French Open crown.
The world number one was embraced by her Polish compatriot after a comprehensive 6-1 6-3 win over Coco Gauff at Roland Garros.
Swiatek and Lewandowski are among the pre-eminent Polish sports stars of this generation, and shared in their delight at the former’s triumph.
Victory for the 21-year-old on Court Philippe-Chatrier extends her winning streak to 35 matches and saw her reclaim the title she won for the first time in 2020.
Lewandowski meanwhile is in Paris between games with Poland in the UEFA Nations League.
The veteran forward played in his country’s 2-1 friendly win over Wales on Wednesday and is expected to feature against Belgium next week.
