The tennis pros are back to entertain the fans off the court. Now and then, the official X channels of tennis release videos of tennis players doing challenges. This time, they had to make their Roman statue in Rome.

There were some hilarious replies from the tennis stars, who brought out their funny side. While Tommy Paul copied a “Captain Morgan” pose for his statue, Iga Swiatek went with the usual tennis swing pose. Interestingly enough, she posed with one leg in the air, mid-forehand.

Another player who killed their pose was Coco Gauff. The American brought out her usual pose of holding up two fingers, a peace sign. Her statue was the same as her picture. As expected, fans absolutely loved the 30-second video from Tennis Channel.

Soon other comments flowed in to light up the X page. There are usually a couple of such videos every tournament to keep the fans entertained off the court. 

Coco Gauff picked a clear side in the latest Drake-Kendrick rap battle

Other than the Italian Open, the rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been the trending topic. With Lamar dropping a banger diss track that possibly ended the rap battle, tennis stars were asked to pick sides.

Firstly, Naomi Osaka was asked her opinion on this matter, and while trying to not sound too wrong in the interview, she smartly picked sides. Osaka had sided with Lamar in this battle and even revealed having heard his rap while entering the court.

Next up, American Coco Gauff was asked about her opinion, and she picked Lamar. The American revealed that she liked Drake as an artist but went with Lamar because Drake had dissed Serena Williams. 

Also, Drake, like, dissed Serena, so I have to go with Kendrick. Kendrick defended her.
Said Coco Gauff during the post-match interview. 

On the business side of things, Gauff got off to a flying start at the Italian Open. She dominated Magdalena Frech in straight sets to advance to the second round. Even Gauff has not done that well this year and would hope to get her first Masters title of the season.
