"What a duo": Lindsey Vonn shares true feelings as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal hit the golf course in Spain

American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn shared her reaction as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal enjoyed a game of golf in Spain. The tennis legends have previously spoken about taking up the sport as a hobby, with Nadal even participating in multiple charity golf tournaments. Both Federer and Nadal played at the Pula Golf Resort in Mallorca, where Nadal frequently plays.

Lindsey Vonn is regarded as one of the greatest alpine skiers of all-time. Vonn established herself as one of the rising stars in the sport when she made her Olympic debut in 2002 at the age of 17, despite not earning a medal. She would go on to earn multiple accolades, including 4 overall World Cup championships and a gold medal in downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Vonn retired from the sport in 2019 but made her competitive return late last year, aiming to compete at the Milan Olympics next year.

In a post shared on Instagram, Nadal and Federer shared a few glimpses of their time playing golf together:

"Anyone ready to take on the two of us?? #Fedal"

Vonn commented on the post, writing:

"So wholesome. What a duo"
