“Why are they identical” - Bianca Andreescu reacts to meme of Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas from 2023 Australian Open final

Bianca Andreescu recently shared her thoughts on a tweet which compared the 2023 Australian Open finalists, Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas, to a viral Zoolander meme featuring Ben Stiller and Owen WIlson.

The recently concluded Australian Open saw Djokovic emerge victorious over Tsistipas in straight sets to lift his 10th trophy there. That puts Djokovic back atop the ATP rankings and also brings his Grand Slam title tally to 22, equalling Rafael Nadal’s record.

The Serb was not immune to the magnitude of the moment as he broke down in tears after the match, letting all his pent-up emotions pour out after 2 hours and 56 minutes on the court.

Djokovic and Tsitsipas posed with their trophies during the 2023 Australian Open trophy presentation ceremony, and a tweet likened a picture of them to a viral Zoolander meme of stars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson standing next to each other.

"The prophecy is complete," the tweet said.

The uncanny resemblance between the actors and the Australian Open finalists soon started making the rounds on the internet. Bianca Andreescu enjoyed the joke too, retweeting the image and pointing out the freakish similarity.

"Omg….why are they identical," the Canadian tweeted, using laughing emojis to depict her amusement at the tweet.

After a disappointing second-round exit at the 2023 Australian Open, Bianca Andreescu has turned her sights to the Thailand Open, a WTA 250 event where she is the top seed.

The former world No. 4 faced Harriet Dart in the first round of the tournament and registered a straight-sets victory over the Brit. Despite being 5-1 up in the second set, the Canadian did have to contend with some shaky moments as she was broken twice. However, she held her nerve to prevail, and will now face Anastasia Zakharova in the Round of 16.

This is Andreescu's first appearance at the Thailand Open. She was seen engaging with the local food and culture of Hua Hin in her free time, even indulging in some Thai cooking.

Showing off her cooking skills, the Canadian shared images of her meal.

"Some Thai cooking from yours truly...(pineapple fried rice and bua loi) @ThailandOpenHH", she tweeted.
