Naomi Osaka and Iga Swiatek seem to share a special relationship. The Japanese sensation and the new French Open champion had an awkward yet entertaining video during the lockdown when they seemed to be on the same wavelength. Naomi has already congratulated the Pole after she brushed aside the great Simona Halep with a convincing 6-1 6-2 scoreline.
Naomi seemed to be elated after Iga won the Roland Garros to post a couple of lovely tweets admitting that she was extremely tense siding for the Pole.
