Iga Swiatek Shares a Goof Moment With WTA Finals Rival Aryna Sabalenka After an Unexpected TikTok Encounter
Iga Swiatek is gearing up for her much-anticipated comeback after a well-deserved break following the US Open. She pulled out of the Asian swing to focus on her health and navigate her split from coach Tomasz Wiktorowski. Now, with Wim Fissette stepping in, she’s ready to shine. The buzz around her reclaiming the crown from current No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is electric. But surprisingly, these two are showing a different side than the typical rivals at each other’s throats.
In a delightful twist, Swiatek and Sabalenka were recently spotted together on the courts in Riyadh, laughing and filming what looked like a TikTok video! Yes, you read that right—rivals having fun together! While Swiatek usually keeps her social media presence minimal, usually sharing mostly training updates, Sabalenka is known for her playful TikTok challenges. Now their joint appearance has racked up quite a bit of excitement from fans in just hours of being posted!
Swiatek reshared a post by the WTA that was captioned, “Just the two best players in the world having a giggle,” on her Instagram story. She playfully wrote, “I’m sorry” to Aryna, with a laughing emoji. The Pole seemed to enjoy the lighthearted exchange, possibly apologizing for her awkward dance moves—or maybe for accidentally damaging her phone with her shoe, as seen in the video! The story gained a response from Sabalenka, as she reshared the moment with a casual, “Ahaha no worries, new phone coming my way,” laughing it off.
