Iga Swiatek shares what ‘funny’ Eva Lys told her at the net after Montreal match

Iga Swiatek reveals Eva Lys was cracking jokes at herself following their Montreal meeting and she thought it was “funny.”

On Friday, the third-seeded Pole needed just an hour and 14 minutes to oust the world No. 69 6-2 6-2 in the Montreal third round.

Moments after their match ended, Lys could have been seen telling Swiatek something that made the former world No. 1 laugh. When the Polish tennis star hit the press room, one reporter was curious to know what the two had exchanged at the net. That’s when the reigning Wimbledon champion shared that her rival hilariously stated that while she lost again, she at least won more games than she did in their previous meeting.

In January, Swiatek crushed Lys 6-0 6-1 in the Australian Open round-of-16.

“Well, she joked that she won more games than last time, so it was kind of funny. She’s a really nice girl with a lot of down-to-earth humor, so I appreciate that. At first I didn’t hear her. These exchanges at the net are always kind of, like, awkward. I like her humor, so for sure it was funny,” the six-time Grand Slam champion revealed.

Lys continued with her humor on social media 

After losing to Swiatek, Lys dropped one hilarious comment on X.
