Courtney Cox is present for tennis player Iga Swiatek after she made history in London as the first Polish woman to win Wimbledon. The Friends star was there, cheering for the champion as she faced off against American player Amanda Anisimova. Swiatek triumphed over Anisimova in straight sets, with a score of 6-0, 6-0. The Hollywood star embraced Swiatek warmly after she came to the stands to celebrate with her team.


Courtney Cox supports Iga Swiatek at WimbledonAfter Swiatek bested Anisimova in under an hour for a swift match, the tennis player dashed to the players' box to greet her team and family. Among them was Courtney Cox, who had previously met the Polish champion in 2024 for an exhibition match on clay. Swiatek is a devoted Friends fan, and having the actress present for such a significant moment must have felt surreal for her.


Swiatek expressed her surprise at the effortless victory and remarked in her winning speech about becoming champion, “Honestly I didn’t even dream. For me, it was way too far.”
