Iga Swiatek and João Fonseca recently appeared in a promotional video for a major sponsor, filmed in On’s flagship store located on the iconic Champs-Élysées in Paris. The video features the tennis players pretending to be sales associates, assisting a customer with her shopping experience.
Swiatek’s Role in the Promotional Video
In the video, Swiatek humorously questions the customer, asking, “Are you finding everything okay?” This interaction takes place as she emerges playfully from behind a clothing rack. Later, she jokingly claims, “Honestly, this place would fall apart without me,” while portraying a manager’s role.
Swiatek’s Reflection on the Experience
When approached by reporters about the project, Swiatek delivered a witty response, suggesting, “Oscar next year?” She expressed her enjoyment of participating in the commercial, emphasizing her desire to showcase her personality beyond typical promotional appearances.
Humor and Creativity in Advertising
Swiatek explained the video’s comedic angle, stating, “There’s a story, and there’s a plot.” She found the endeavor amusing and appreciated the lighthearted approach. Notably, a scene where she assessed her “employees” was cut from the final video, which she found unfortunate, asserting, “I know how to evaluate very well.”
Relatable Experiences
The Polish athlete commented on the similarities between her role in the video and her past as a waitress in Melbourne. “I love this,” she stated, indicating her comfort in portraying characters that resonate with her real experiences. Swiatek acknowledged the challenge of pretending to be someone else but noted that she often portrays herself authentically in such scenarios.
This engaging promotional video highlights the charisma of both Swiatek and Fonseca, reflecting their ability to connect with fans through humor and personality, as well as strengthening the brand presence on one of Paris’s most famous avenues.
