ICYMI, the 89th Academy Awards were on in Hollywood yesterday. Tennis stars CoCo Vandeweghe and Madison Keys were glued to the broadcast – and took to social media to express their reactions after La La Land was mistakenly announced as Best Picture…
What the heck #Oscars

Maria Sharapova was there – looking glamorous of course:

Serena Williams wasn’t dressed up at all. The world No.1 surprised two strangers by gatecrashing their casual hit, joining them on court in boots… “the moral of the story is you never know when I’m coming to a tennis court near you,” she laughed as she documented the meeting on Snapchat:
Serena played tennis in boots with these 2 guys she saw on a court while she was out on a walk last night. IMAGINE. pic.twitter.com/kWXrTE73M9

Naomi Osaka has a lot to say on her social media account:
Sometimes I really wonder what coaches are thinking.

Just heard a coach tell a girl, "She played good defense, you just have to hit a swing volley and go back to the baseline"…lol what? Que? pic.twitter.com/enOuv5q5kv

I wanted to yell, "Girlie if you run to the baseline after the swing volley you're gonna get rekt'd. CHARGE TO THE NET. HIT THAT VOLLEY ????"
— NaomiOsaka????? (@Naomi_Osaka_) February 27, 2017
Even if she misses the volley, going to the baseline would be an automatic L anyways ??????? might as well go out with style. #themoreyouknow
