Iga Swiatek Engages in War of Words With the Polish Media for Not Respecting Her Career Choices Following Wimbledon Win

Her focus now remains on continuing her career, and while she has addressed the media’s treatment of her, it didn’t overshadow her pride in winning Wimbledon. The historic win marked a triumphant return to form, leaving Swiatek beaming with pride.

Iga Swiatek gets congratulated by Courteney Cox

Polish star Iga Swiatek’s Wimbledon victory took a memorable turn when she received a hug from actress Courteney Cox, marking a unique moment in her career. Swiatek, a huge fan of the TV sitcom “Friends,” was thrilled to have Cox, who played Monica Geller on the show, in the stands to witness her historic 6-0, 6-0 win over Amanda Anisimova. The victory gave Swiatek her first Wimbledon title and sixth Grand Slam overall.

After the match, Swiatek made her way to the stands to celebrate with her supporters, including an emotional hug from Cox. The moment was a special one, as it tied together Swiatek’s love for “Friends” and her incredible success on the tennis court. It was a rare blend of celebrity and sports, with the actress being a personal fan of Swiatek’s achievements.

This wasn’t the first time Swiatek and Cox shared a connection. Before last year’s French Open, Swiatek had the chance to hit tennis balls with Cox for fun. The two formed a bond, with Swiatek’s admiration for the actress shining through. That bond continued to grow after Swiatek won her fourth French Open title.

To celebrate her fifth Grand Slam title, Swiatek wore custom-made white sneakers, which her shoe sponsor had stenciled with the words, “The One Where She Wins Her Fifth Grand Slam.” The sneakers were a playful nod to the iconic “Friends” episode titles, reflecting Swiatek’s love for the show and her continued success in her tennis career.

Iga Swiatek congratulated by Princess Kate

Princess Kate shared a heartfelt Instagram post congratulating Iga Swiatek after her historic Wimbledon victory. The Princess of Wales, glowing in a cream outfit, celebrated Swiatek’s dominant win in the Ladies’ Singles Final. The tribute followed Kate’s royal duty of presenting the trophy to Swiatek on Centre Court.

Before the trophy presentation, Kate had a touching moment with eight-year-old Lydia Lowe. Lowe, who had the honor of performing the coin toss for the Ladies’ Wheelchair Singles Final, offered some thoughtful advice to Kate about handling nerves in the spotlight. The exchange between the two was a sweet and memorable moment at the tournament.

Kate’s support for tennis extends beyond her role as a spectator. As Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she has a strong connection to the sport and its events. Her presence at Wimbledon continues to highlight her dedication to supporting tennis in the UK.

Kensington Palace has yet to confirm if Kate will attend Sunday’s men’s final. While she has already fulfilled her duties for the women’s final, fans are still awaiting an official announcement regarding her presence at the men’s match.
