Tennis Stars Eiffel Tower Challenge: A Moment of Silliness at Roland Garros

Tennis Stars Strike a Pose: Recreating the Eiffel Tower at Roland Garros

At the 2023 Roland Garros tournament, ATP and WTA stars took a break from their media day duties to engage in a lighthearted challenge: recreating the iconic Eiffel Tower.

Daniil Medvedev, the world No. 5, attempted the pose with elbows extended, while Paula Badosa, Sebastian Korda, and Jelena Ostapenko followed suit. Jannik Sinner also joined in, declaring, "That's enough."

Ons Jabeur, who excelled in the Mona Lisa challenge last year, expressed her desire to win this competition as well. However, the competition proved to be fierce, with Mirra Andreeva tucking her arms over her face and Casper Ruud and Aryna Sabalenka extending their arms high above their heads.

Andy Murray, a three-time major champion, took a unique approach by widening his stance to represent the base of the structure. Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, initially hesitated but eventually embraced the challenge, delivering a worthy pose.

Carlos Alcaraz and Coco Gauff couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation, with Gauff exclaiming, "This looks so stupid, okay." Andrey Rublev concurred, adding, "It looks stupid next level."

Despite the silliness, the challenge provided a moment of entertainment amidst the intense competition of Roland Garros. The players' creativity and willingness to have fun showcased the camaraderie and lighthearted spirit that often accompanies the sport of tennis.
