Sinner celebrates hard-fought US Open victory

Jannik Sinner celebrated his third-round US Open win over Denis Shapovalov in a four-set battle. The world No. 1 overcame a resilient Shapovalov—who dominated the first half of the match—and managed to secure a victory in which he found himself in trouble for the first time in the tournament. Sinner won 12 of the last 15 games played (5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3), and shared his happiness about the win. "Really happy about today’s win! Amazing atmosphere here in NYC, thank you all for the support @usopen," Sinner posted on his social media.

Djokovic, Hollywood, and a rapper at the US Open

Novak Djokovic had a couple of special encounters after his third-round victory against Cameron Norrie. The 24-time Grand Slam champion is a star on and off the court and one of the most sought-after people for other celebrities who attend the US Open as spectators. This time, the Serbian met with Hollywood actor Ben Stiller and rapper Fat Joe in the Flushing Meadows locker rooms.

In his meeting with the actor, Djokovic shared a friendly greeting with one of Hollywood's most well-known tennis fans, who is often seen in the stands at tournaments in the U.S. Nole asked Stiller about his current tennis level and received a special invitation. "My tennis is not that great right now," Stiller told the former world No. 1 with a laugh. "We're shooting another 'Meet the Parents' movie right now. You should come."

"No way, I would love to! I'll text and we'll catch up," Djokovic replied.

Another post showed Djokovic's encounter with Fat Joe, the American rapper who congratulated him on his win over Norrie. They joked together in the locker rooms, minutes before Djokovic began his post-match recovery work. Nole has now advanced to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows and is set to face Jan-Lennard Struff, who is having a great tournament, coming through the qualifiers and having defeated Holger Rune (11th) and Frances Tiafoe (17th) along the way.

Naomi Osaka continues "labubu" trend at the US Open

Naomi Osaka continues to expand the Labubu craze after her third-round victory against Daria Kasatkina. The four-time Grand Slam champion had already surprised fans in the early rounds with personalized Labubus for her on-court entrances. Adorned with jewels and holding tiny rackets, the Japanese star has turned these small dolls into a trend that's now hitting the tennis world.

In the first round, the former world No. 1 showed off a custom Labubu she named "Billie Jean Bling," in honor of the legendary former tennis player. For the second round, she brought out a male doll, also personalized with rhinestones, saying, "this one is Arthur Flash," a reference to Arthur Ashe, the tennis great for whom the main stadium at Flushing Meadows is named. For this third round, she once again paid tribute to Billie Jean King with a Labubu wearing red glasses and black rhinestones, which she nicknamed "La Billie Boo."
