A cavalcade of bees — yes, bees — descended upon a tennis tournament in California and caused some hilarious chaos in the process.
On Thursday, the Indian Wells Open — held near Joshua Tree National Park in California — had to be delayed due to a “bee invasion” in the middle of a match. Play was halted as the bees swarmed a piece of camera equipment in the middle of the court then descended upon the players — Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz — and the on-court staff mere moments later.
Seriously, the amount of bees that swarmed the court is truly comical, so much so that the camera foo ..read more

Coco Gauff is one of the most prominent young stars in tennis, and it’s fantastic to see her growth. However, one thing could keep her from reaching superstardom — Coco is a closet perfectionist.
Tennis takes Coco Gauff to the highest of highs (beating Aryana Sabalenka) and lowest of lows (losing to Aryana Sabalenka four months later). Still, through it all, one thing remains constant. It isn’t Coco’s game. It’s not even the type of tennis racket she uses. It’s her kryptonite — perfectionism.
Per Abby Aguirre of Vogue Magazine, Coco has been working to subdue her need to be perfect, even ..read more

Daniil Medvedev is on to the men’s singles finals at the 2024 Australian Open. But he didn’t finish without some apparent trolling (and we’ve seen him troll folks at the Australian Open before).
Cameras caught him saying something to the crowd after beating Alexander Zverev, and lip-readers think it was “KARMA!” Why is that significant? Because Zverev apparently said on Netflix’s Break Point that Medvedev had lost at the French Open because “I do believe in karma. I do believe that if you wish bad upon someone, then the bad is going to come back to you.”
So that would explain this:

Coco Gauff is a generational talent, but even she has to remember to give herself grace.
After a gritty win against Aryna Sabalenka in the 2023 U.S. Open final that ended with Sabalenka beating her tennis racket into the floor, Coco Gauff has been on a meteoric rise. Her talents landed her at the Australian Open, where she played in the semifinals against Sabalenka again.
This time, however, she didn’t have enough to overcome her familiar opponent. Gauff seemingly ran out of gas after a valiant but stressful win over Marta Kostyuk just days ago. When she took time to reflect upon her loss, she ..read more
