Coco Gauff reacts to hilarious video of seagulls seemingly laughing at her failed ball toss in Eastbourne

Image
Coco Gauff recently shared a hilarious video from her match against Jodie Burrage in the Round of 16 at the 2023 Rothesay International in Eastbourne.  Gauff came into the match after a convincing 6-3, 6-2 victory over fellow American Bernarda Pera in the opening round. She was leading 5-1 in her match against British lucky loser Burrage and was ready to serve for the first set.  The 19-year-old misjudged her ball toss and bounced it with the racquet toward herself before getting ready to serve again. However, before the teen could do so, there were loud cries from a seagull flying overhead that sounded like a laugh.  Gauff took to Instagram to share the video, capturing the funny moment, and wrote: "Not the bird making fun of my missed toss sound up.  Couldn't help but laugh with it. There's no Eastbourne without seagulls," she wrote. Both the spectators and Gauff broke into laughter at the seagull's timing.  The commentator also saw the fun side and could ...

"I think I was better off staying home" - When Serena Williams commented on third-round exit at Wimbledon

Image
Serena Williams suffered a disappointing third-round exit at the 2005 Wimbledon Championships.  The American entered the tournament as the fourth seed and reached the third round after three-set wins over Angela Haynes and Mara Santangelo. She came back from a set down to win both matches.   Williams faced compatriot Jill Craybas in the third round and a victory would have set up a fourth-round clash against her sister Venus Williams. However, Craybas won 6-3, 7-6(4). Serena Williams was asked in her post-match interview whether she felt she made a mistake by playing at Wimbledon considering she wasn't at her best physically.  The American responded by saying that she was better off staying home. "I think I was better off staying home, to be honest. For sure," Williams said. The then-22-year-old was also asked about Craybas' performance.  She stated that her opponent did not have to do anything exceptionally well and only had to turn up for the match. "I thin...

Image
Steph Curry has begun playing mind games with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce prior to their golfing showdown in Capital One's 'The Match'.  The basketball superstar will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl-winning teammates while teeing up alongside Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson.  Upping the ante before they take to the course, Steph Curry decided to remind the Kansas City Chiefs when they lost to another team from California.  The Los Angeles Chargers, who are also the Chiefs' AFC West divisional rivals, defeated their opposition 30-24 in the 2021 season. It was an exhilarating game, with the excitement palpable until the final quarter, where the Chargers scored 16 to the Chiefs' seven.  The basketball great was seen watching the game with a golf club in hand, adding that the result will replicate in Las Vegas: "Would be the same thing in Vegas, baby" Trolling aside, Steph Curry expresses admiration for Patrick Mah...

Days After Father Dennis Rodman Picked LeBron James Over Larry Bird, Trinity Rodman Shares Brother DJ Rodman’s Reel With Bronny

Image
Washington Spirit’s Trinity Rodman, the daughter of NBA great Dennis Rodman, recently posted a story with Bronny James and DJ Rodman.  DJ Rodman followed Bronny James to announce his move to USC Trojans at the beginning of last month.  Both youngsters, being sons of legitimate NBA greats in Dennis Rodman and LeBron James, are expected to eventually make it to the NBA.

LeBron James could become the first NBA player to play in the same team as his son

Image
NBA records are there to be broken, but LeBron James wants to keep it in the family as he looks to claim one place in the history books that no-one can take away.   Not content with one member of the James lineage earning their place in basketball's limelight, LeBron wants to share the stage with his son, Bronny. The 18-year-old has committed to play the upcoming college season at the University of Southern California and will therefore be eligible for the 2024 NBA Draft.  Despite concerns over his age, 38-year-old James has spoken of his 'need' to share the court with his eldest child.  SEE ALSO:  LeBron James all but confirms he will leave the Lakers on Instagram  And there's a sense of confidence the four-time NBA champion could play to 40 (and possibly beyond) after helping the Los Angeles Lakers into this year's Conference Finals.   "I need to be on the floor with my boy, I got to be on the floor with Bronny. . .either in the same uniform or ...

LeBron James all but confirms he will leave the Lakers on Instagram

Image
LeBron James is completely changing what everyone thought was possible for a star athlete in the NBA.  LeBron led the Los Angeles Lakers to the Western Conference Finals in the same year that he broke the all-time scoring record while he still plays better than all but a handful of players in the league.   None of this is guaranteed at LeBron’s age and his elite level of play could end at any moment. That is why Lakers fans should cherish the legendary basketball they are seeing, even if it is no longer the prime version of LeBron.   Fans should especially cherish it during the 2023-24 season as it will certainly be his last in the purple and gold. Retirement threats aside (which all just seems like a ploy to get the Lakers to make certain moves), LeBron has all but confirmed that he will leave the Lakers after the 2023-24 season in his latest Instagram story.   LeBron James all but confirms that he will leave the Lakers to join Bronny James This is so...

All hell will break loose if Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, names in her rumoured memoir the royal who allegedly asked how dark her then unborn son's skin would be, an insider has claimed.  Meghan claimed in her interview with US TV host Oprah Winfrey that a member of the Royal Family questioned Prince Archie Harrison's skin colour before he was born.  The identity of the Windsor who questioned Archie's skin colour has not been revealed, but a royal insider has told the Telegraph that naming him or her would cause chaos. They said: "All hell will break loose again."  It is rumoured King Charles and Prince William have put some distance between themselves and Meghan for fear they could provide her with material for her reported book.  The insider said: "There’s not a lot of trust left to allow the family to maintain a good and open relationship.
