Hollywood star Zendaya has received a special training offer.
"She can train with me at any time if she wants," said the Polish world number one in tennis, Iga Świątek, on Sunday after meeting the US actress and singer.
"It was definitely fun and she's a really great person," the athlete enthused about the meeting.
Zendaya watched the final of the WTA tournament in Indian Wells, California, with her boyfriend, British actor Tom Holland, where Świątek won the title for the second time.
She clearly won 6:4 and 6:0 against the Greek Maria Sakkari.
After the match, Zendaya posed for photos with Świątek and her trophy.
“In any case, it was crazy to meet Zendaya,” Świątek said afterwards.
"But on the other hand, she is a human being like all of us."
Świątek and Zendaya share a common interest
Zendaya can currently be seen in »Dune: Part Two«.
The success of the science fiction epic continues and is already greater than that of the first part.
According to the industry portal “Box Office Mojo”, the film has already grossed 494.7 million US dollars (the equivalent of around 454 million euros) worldwide since its theatrical release.
The first visually stunning part (2021) by director Denis Villeneuve achieved a worldwide result of more than 400 million euros.
The second part of “Dune” was released in German cinemas on February 29th.
Villeneuve gathered many stars for his film adaptation, including Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh and Austin Butler.
The material is based on a series of novels by Frank Herbert.
In her new film "Challengers" Zendaya, whose full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, plays a former professional tennis player.
She trains her husband, whose playing career is in a slump.
