Ons Jabeur jokes about what Iga Swiatek said to Barbora Krejcikova after Ostrava final
Ons Jabeur had a hilarious take on what Iga Swiatek told Barbora Krejcikova at the net following their final at the AGEL Open in Ostrava.
The two players played out one of the best matches of the season, with Krejcikova winning 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-3 to clinch her second straight singles title. In doing so, the 26-year-old became the first player to beat Swiatek in a final this year.
Krejcikova and Swiatek shared a hearty exchange at the net following a sensational match that lasted 3 hours and 18 minutes. One Twitter user posted a picture of the same and asked people to guess what the World No. 1 might have told the Czech.
Ons Jabeur was quick to reply, joking that Swiatek was asking Krejcikova where she could find the best tiramisu in Ostrava.
"Where can I find the best tiramisu in Ostrava," the Tunisian's tweet read.
@JJlovesTennis Where can I find the best Tiramisu in Ostrava? 😅😅
Iga Swiatek has a fondness for tiramisu and was gifted one by the USTA after winning the US Open, where she beat Ons Jabeur in the final.
