Serena Williams' "doubles partner" steals the Show in Latest Court Sighting
Serena Williams once again posted a photo on social media from the tennis courts, though this time with a very particular doubles partner. The 23-time Grand Slam champion has been consistently seen on tennis courts in recent weeks and appears in great shape – according to various videos on social media. So much so that many are already speculating about her return to the courts, a topic even addressed recently by her sister Venus Williams, although Serena herself has not explicitly shown interest in returning.

Serena has long been focused on her businesses and family, alongside her husband Alexis Ohanian and their daughters Olympia and Adira. Adira, who will turn two in the coming weeks, was precisely the star on the tennis court, as the photo shows Serena playing tennis while carrying her daughter, joking on Instagram about her unique doubles companion. "I never thought I would have to carry my doubles partner 😮💨 Subscribe to watch an epic video of me practicing with @adiraohanian ⚠️caution, don’t try this at home!"
Naomi Osaka's emotional reaction after comeback
Naomi Osaka secured an exciting victory, unlike any she's had in a while, and her emotional reaction was captured on social media. The four-time Grand Slam champion survived a grueling encounter against Liudmila Samsonova, saving two match points in the second set, and ultimately turning around a match that seemed practically lost at the Canadian Open.
The former world No. 1 earns a confidence-boosting win, her first over a top-20 player since the Australian Open earlier this year, and the first time she has won a match after facing match points against her since the 2021 Aussie Open against Garbiñe Muguruza, a tournament she went on to win.
Kudermetova sisters train together in Montreal
Veronika Kudermetova joined her sister Polina Kudermetova for their latest training session at the Canadian Open. Both Russian tennis players not only shared the court but also participated in promotional activities for the tournament afterward.
Polina, 22, fell in her tournament debut to Dutch player Suzan Lamens (3-6, 6-4, 2-6), while Veronika, 27, has had a strong start to the tournament, advancing to the third round in Montreal. She defeated Cristina Bucsa and 29th seed Olga Danilovic to set up a tough clash against top seed Coco Gauff.
Barbora Krejcikova shares fun moments from Canadian Open Players' party
Barbora Krejcikova shared some photos from the Canadian Open players' party, where she took some pictures with tennis presenter Blair Henley, leaving a fun message for her. "This Players party in Canada was absolutely amazing! What’s more, I met @bdhenley again, whom I love very much. She is a great tournament moderator, a master of post-match interviews and, above all, an amazing mother. I am most pleased when her girls call me ‘Miss Barbora’. 😜🤩"
The two-time defending champion began her Canadian Open journey with a painful defeat to Bianca Andreescu in a match that marked the start of the tournament, after Andreescu injured her ankle on match point. Although it could have been a chance for the Czech, a couple of consecutive unforced errors ended up giving the victory to an injured Andreescu, 6-3, 6-4, who could hardly have continued the match after that game. The Canadian later withdrew from the tournament before facing Russia's Mirra Andreeva.
Roberto Bautista Agut celebrates Son Lucas's Baptism
Roberto Bautista Agut celebrated the baptism of his second son, Lucas – born in January of this year – alongside his wife Ana Bodi. The former world No. 9 took advantage of the swing change and his days off after competing in the Kitzbühel Open to travel to Spain for the ceremony with his family. The post received responses from other wives on Tour, such as Nicolás Jarry's wife – Laura Urruti – and the wife of former doubles world No. 7 Santiago González, who congratulated the couple on their youngest son's event.
The world No. 51 decided not to participate in the Canadian Open this week, but will travel to Cincinnati for the next Masters 1000 event, which will be played starting next week. The 37-year-old player has achieved several good results in Canada, with three quarterfinal appearances (2017, 2019, 2021).
WTA Stars share Montreal snapshots
Most of the WTA stars gathered in Montreal for this year's Canadian Open, and today, some who shared glimpses of their days in Canada include Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk and American Amanda Anisimova, who was out with her colleague and friend Priscilla Hon, taking several pictures of their time in Montreal. This was also the case for other players like Camila Osorio, Emma Navarro, and Diana Shnaider.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
mandoist29-10-2026 - With her money one would think she could afford a better team of Psychiatrists?
