The rap battle going on right now between Kendrick Lamar and Drake is one for the ages, and tennis star Naomi Osaka has officially given her verdict on who’s winning. In a very smart response, Osaka said that she’s a pacificist when it comes to these issues but also gave her opinion on who is winning in her mind. Spoiler alert: it’s basically who everyone thinks has bested Drake in this beef. Osaka is one of the best tennis players in the world right now, so she knows what it takes to win a competition. If this is how she feels this rap beef is going, we’re inclined to agree with her. Kendric ..read more

The Met Gala is one of the most fabulous and decadent affairs every year.

The highly-anticipated movie Challengers hits theaters on April 26, and the early returns are that it’s must-see. Zendaya leads a cast that also features Mike Faist (West Side Story) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown), and follows the dramatic relationships of Tashi (Zendaya), a tennis prodigy-turned-coach. Faist and O’Connor are the other sides of the love triangle in director Luca Guadagnino’s latest.

Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink is in a new ad for New Balance with six other sports stars, including Shohei Ohtani and Coco Gauff, and it’s fantastic. Cameron Brink, who the Sparks drafted at No. 2 overall on Monday, is having one heck of a week. Brink, who’s had a NIL deal — now likely turned endorsement — with New Balance since 2023, is in an epic ad with several sports giants. As part of New Balance’s “We Got Now” campaign, the company recently released another commercial with Brink in it. I have to say, the list of athletes she’s with is super impressive. This is my kind of carryi ..read more

Tom Holland and Zendaya are just too cute. The pair of actors met on the set of Marvel’s 2017 Spider-Man: Homecoming, and started dating in July of the same year. The couple is utterly adorable, even if the amount of time spent in the spotlight is not high.

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: Danii ..read more

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

On Saturday, Qinwen Zheng (No. 15 in the world) takes on Aryna Sabalenka (No. 2) in the final of the Australian Open. In her most recent match on Thursday, Zheng defeated Dayana Yastremska in two sets, 6-4, 6-4, to move on past the semifinals. Sabalenka’s last match on Thursday was a two-set win against Coco Gauff 7-6, 6-4 in the semifinals. Fans interested in watching this match, and the rest of the Australian Open, can find it on ESPN.
