Emma Raducanu should be on your radar now.

Tennis is one of my favorite sports, although that doesn't mean that I'm necessarily good at it. For the most part, I enjoy watching people (especially women) play, and the US Open does bring to New York many of the hottest female tennis players to have ever graced the planet. One of them is British teenager Emma Raducanu.

The World No. 150, who was born in Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother before the family moved to England when she was two, has been playing the sport since the age of five. She speaks Mandarin, loves F1, and adores Simona Halep.

Emma wasn't expected to progress this far, but her fairytale in Flushing Meadows shows no sign of ending. She will face Shelby Rogers in the fourth round after beating Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo in a one-sided match. But can she really go all the way at the US Open? We'll see.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.

This may interest someone.

Brandon Semenuk is a Canadian freeride mountain biker and rally racer who does crazy tricks that make me anxious. In the Know , his latest video partnership with SRAM, is a knockout. The clip is filled with wild riding, magnificent terrain, cool music, and breathtaking shots.
