Iga Swiatek was given a tiramisu surprise inside her trophy by the US Open following a protracted hunt for the dish.


And a few hours later, she found a special prize inside.

The 21-year-old tennis superstar won her third-career Grand Slam after taking down world No. 5 Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) in Flushing Meadows. And just as she has after earning major trophies in the past, Swiatek removed the lid of her shiny new US Open hardware and looked inside for a sweet treat — specifically tiramisu.

The world No. 1 has been known to celebrate her accomplishments and spend her off days treating herself to the Italian dessert, which consists of sponge cake layered with chocolate, coffee, and mascarpone cheese. But never has a Grand Slam caught on to her signature snack — until now.

When Swiatek arrived at her post-match press conference a few hours after her big victory, her silver trophy was positioned prominently in front of her on the dais. And after she finished answering all of the questions, the USTA moderator encouraged the newly-crowned champion to take a look inside the massive cup.

She pulled off the top and gasped in delight, pulling out a square of tiramisu as members of the press applauded.

“Oh my God!” Swiatek said. “Are you kidding me?! Wow, who did that?”

“I’m going to get dirty,” she continued with a smile, adding that she appreciates the gesture “especially because I didn’t have time to eat, so.”

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
