This is how Iga Świątek was welcomed at The Plaza hotel
The Plaza Hotel is considered one of the most popular hotels in the world. Its popularity was boosted long ago when a scene from the Christmas movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York was filmed in the hotel's lobby. The movie's main character encountered Donald Trump and asked him a question.
It is worth noting that staying at this hotel is very expensive. Prices in the most luxurious rooms range between four and six thousand dollars per night. The published recording with Iga Świątek shows several shots, including the main entrance and the spectacular chandelier in the aforementioned movie.
Iga Świątek's next match in the round of 16 of the US Open will be against Russian player Liudmila Samsonova. The match is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2, at no earlier than 5:00 PM ET.
