'I feel for people': Courtney Cox showers praise on Iga Swiatek after their meetup ahead of French Open
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Polish star Iga Siwatek has started her French Open preparations. With a new kit and a new beginning, the Pole hopes to defend her title well and win a triple crown. However, her tournament begins on a higher note. Not only did she have her first practice session with a new kit, but also with one of her idols. 

Swiatek was practicing against  Courteney Cox . As a huge fan of the show “Friends,”  the Pole was delighted to practice with one of their leads, Cox. After a successful practice, the Friends star posted a video reacting to the small documentary about Iga Swiatek on YouTube.

I just thought the documentary was wonderful. I think that I just really feel for people who have that pressure on them. But the way she handles it, she must have so many feelings that she can’t express. She’s graceful, and she’s a star. Said Courtney Cox in the documentary

Swiatek has always been the biggest fan of the American and even said that when she initially watched Friends, she had instantly fallen in love with Monica (the character played by Cox). It was a dream come true moment for the Pole, who began her practice with the star in her new kit

Iga Swiatek sends out a hilarious message looking for a doubles partner

Iga Swiatek has arrived in Paris after a major victory in Rome. She won her 10th master’s title there and headed to Paris for the ultimate Roland Garros. However, the Pole revealed some exciting news: that she would also play doubles there. 

She put up a hilarious story about searching for a double partner. The first round is set to begin on May 26th, and the players are more excited than ever to finish the clay season. Swiatek has always loved the French Open and is also a favorite to win a title this year as well. 

In the last four years, Swiatek has won the French Open title four times and will hope to make it four out of five. Having beaten almost the same people in the other tournaments, Swiatek is deadly on clay. She has a clear opportunity to win a triple crown and get her name with the other people.
