Iga Swiatek reacts to Christmas memes featuring Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, herself and others

Top tennis players, including Iga Swiatek, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Carlos Alcaraz, recently featured in hilarious Christmas memes on the internet.

Ahead of the holiday season, the Tennis Channel dished out a flurry of memes, reimagining the posters of popular films based on Christmas. Interestingly, the likes of Swiatek, Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, Roger Federer, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Paula Badosa, Gael Monfils, and Elina Svitolina were replaced with the actual characters of the film in the posters.

The first meme depicted Federer's face over the train engine on the placard of 'The Polar Express'. On the other hand, Swiatek found herself in the place of Will Ferrell as Buddy on the poster of 'Elf'.

In the artwork of 'Home Alone', Alcaraz replaced protagonist Kevin whereas Djokovic and Nadal were depicted as the two burglars. American actor Macaulay Culkin played Kevin's part and Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci played Marv and Harry — the two thieves.

The power couples — Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils — graced the cover of 'The Holiday', which was released in the year 2006. The film's star-studded cast included Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, and others.

Iga Swiatek simply dropped another meme while reacting to the memes posted by the Tennis Channel on X (formerly Twitter). The Pole's meme was about John Krasinski as Jim Halpert from 'The Office' failing to control his laughter.
