"There are matches, like [against] Ons Jabeur, where you feel like you have to give 100% and then you're winning and it's just satisfying. So, it'll be great to play against her if I win," said Swiatek.

Jabeur wasted no time in accepting the invitation and asked American footballer Alex Morgan to be her partner.

"@iga_swiatek @MikaelaShiffrin Count me in @alexmorgan13 maybe you wanna play with me, how is your serve?" Jabeur tweeted.
