Venus Williams responded with humor to Iga Swiatek’s mistake of confusing her iconic Miami Open ensemble for one worn by American singer Katy Perry.
During the 2024 Miami Open, Swiatek participated in a lighthearted activity with her fellow players Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, and Carlos Alcaraz. Together, they tried to identify which players had worn some of the tournament’s most memorable outfits throughout the years.
Despite this, the World No.
“I have no idea. Umm… so I’ll [say] Katy Perry,”she said.
Upon being informed that the game was actually about guessing tennis players’ outfits, the 22-year-old hilariously admitted her mistake and revealed that she had mistakenly thought it involved all types of celebrities.
After Iga Swiatek’s mix-up, Venus Williams responded with humor by playfully suggesting a joint tour with Katy Perry and expressing gratitude to the Pole for the brilliant suggestion.
“Time for a @katyperry X Venus Tour? Thanks for the idea, @iga.swiatek ✨,”Williams commented.
The World No. 1 jokingly asked to be included in the hypothetical tour proposed by the pair.
“@venuswilliams can I join?🫠🥺,”Swiatek replied.
