Matthew Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the beloved sitcom “Friends,” recently caught the attention of tennis enthusiasts and “Friends” fans alike with his praise for Iga Swiatek. The Polish tennis star clinched her second Grand Slam title at the 2022 US Open, solidifying her status as a dominant force in the sport.

Perry’s commendation of Swiatek sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many fans drawing a nostalgic connection to one of Chandler’s memorable lines from “Friends.” In an episode, Rachel humorously advises Chandler to watch more ESPN and less E! News, a sentiment that Perry’s recent interest in tennis humorously echoes. Fans were quick to point out that Perry, in real life, seems to have taken Rachel’s advice to heart by engaging with major sporting events like the US Open.

This cross-over of pop culture and sports delighted fans, who celebrated Perry’s acknowledgment of Swiatek’s achievements. The 21-year-old Swiatek’s victory at Flushing Meadows marked a significant milestone in her career, coming after her 2020 French Open win.
