Iga Swiatek may have suffered a disheartening defeat at the Australian Open 2023. But she has not let that ruin the rest of her season. From her underwhelming time Down Under, she has put together a remarkable string of victories, and she is on her way to doing it again in Dubai. It also coincided with a landmark moment for the WTA. And the celebration obviously had to be grand, but not as grand as Swiatek was planning to make it.

The Polish tennis player reached the finals of the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championship after defeating the American teenage sensation Coco Gauff. Though it was obviously a commendable victory, the celebration ended up bringing out a hilarious picture that has fans raving all about it on Twitter.

Fans go berserk over the Dubai semi-final win of Iga Swiatek over Coco Gauff

The world no.1 met the American tennis heartthrob Coco Gauff in the semi-finals of the tennis event in Dubai. Meeting Gauff for the sixth time, the Pole breezed through the match, much like the previous five matches. However, what followed after the match was more interesting, at least for the fans. What made the day more special was that the WTA completed 50 years. And that called for a celebration. So, when she cut the cake with a sword, to make her victory more iconic, she gestured to lick the sword. A picture of the same was uploaded by Jimmie48 Photography and fans had a field day in the comments.

One fan ran short of words and just stated, “Omgggg XDDDD”. And here’s what others had to say…
