After the final, the two had a chance to meet for a photo op, Swiatek posing with the famed Baccarat trophy.

Zendaya and Holland made waves on social media when they arrived on site ahead of the final, an apt move given the former’s role as a former junior prodigy in the film—directed by Luca Guadagnino and co-starring Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist.

The MGM film premieres April 26; click here to see the trailer.
