Polish tennis star Iga Swaitek may have won the 2025 Wimbledon Ladies Final but she had an even better surprise at the end when Friends star Courteney Cox was there to congratulate her.
Iga won the game in 57 minutes in straight sets and after thanking her coaching team she went into the crowds to greet and hug her family.
In the row behind her family was the Friendsactress with her partner Johnny McDaid, and Courteney made sure to catch the tennis player’s attention.
Iga, 24, was seen recoiling back in surprise as she realized who she was talking to, and they both went in for a hug, with Courteney rubbing her back in celebration. The tennis champion also then greeted Johnny with a big hug before she continued back to the court where she was awarded her trophy and gave a heartfelt speech to her team.
Courteney’s daughter Coco was not in attendance; the 18-year-old is now in her freshman year at college and Courteney previously revealed that she did not understand what “the big deal” was about becoming an empty nester joking: “She doesn’t talk to me anyway, she’s always in her room.”
Netflix star Joey King was also in attendance at the Ladies Final wearing a long Ralph Lauren dress, while Marvel actress Hayley Atwell stepped out in a fabulous blue and white striped suit from Italian brand Brunello Cucinelli.
