With sparkles in her hair and glimmering flashes of what was — quite perfectly — as much cocktail dress as tennis outfit, Serena Williams was serving for the set but down at deuce. The US Open crowd was amped but nervous. Serena was a 23-time major champion. Her opponent, Danka Kovinic, was a 27-year-old who had never been past the third round in a major.

In a Sunday interview with Fox 32 Chicago, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar was asked if he’d consider playing for the Chicago Bulls in the future. Keeping in mind the Bulls’ storied past, Antetokounmpo said he would. “I think anybody who is asked that question that plays basketball, if he said no, he would be a liar.
