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.

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
