Coco Gauff Is Going To The French Open Semi-Finals—And We All Need To Be Paying Attention
Source: Tim Clayton / Getty There's something about Coco. The fire. The grit. The way she fights for every point like it's personal. At just 21, Coco Gauff has already made a thing for herself, and we are here for it. On June 4, Coco secured her spot in the semifinals of the French Open for the third time, grinding her way through a tough match filled with momentum shifts and pressure points. Her performance wasn't flawless—10 double faults could've rattled anybody else. But Coco kept swinging. 'I was just trying to fight for every point,' she told ESPN after the match. That mindset is what keeps her dangerous in every round. She's the No. 2 seed with a major title after winning the US Open in 2023. In Paris, she's no stranger to the spotlight—runner-up in 2022, champion in 2023, and now a semifinalist again in 2025. And the thing is, Coco doesn't shy away from the work. She's open about the grind, the mistakes, and the comeback. 'When times become more difficult, knowing that I can dig deep in those tough moments—I've had that in me from a young age,' she told ESPN . 'My philosophy is if I can just leave it all out there, then the loss will hurt a lot less than regrets of maybe not giving it your all.' It's that kind of heart that separates her from the rest. Source: NurPhoto / Getty We've seen this kind of grit on the court with young stars like Naomi Osaka and icons like Venus Williams, and Serena Williams. (And you know we rooted for them, too). But Coco is carving out her own path. We are here to give the young tennis star her flowers. Even her style speaks to her individuality. That slate-blue, long-sleeve sporty-chic look she wore during a recent match we loved? That passion seen across her face? Yes, Coco is that girl. The tennis champion returns to the French Open play on Thursday, June 5, and all eyes should be locked in. There's something about Coco, and the world is seeing it one match at a time. Let's go, Coco! SEE ALSO Coco Gauff Is Going To The French Open Semi-Finals—And We All Need To Be Paying Attention was originally published on Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

Hardwood Classics: The Best NBA Playoff Sneakers Of All Time
T he NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the smell of sweeps are in the air. This year the Finals will take place between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder, with both teams being led by Tyrese Haliburton and Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, proving a new era of basketball is upon us. As other brands began to gain significant market share, we've rounded up some of the best sneakers to ever touch the hardwood in NBA playoffs history. 1 Michael Jordan, Air Jordan XII 'Flu Game' Who else can drop 38 points in the NBA Finals while fighting flu-like symptoms? 'His Airness,' Michael Jordan, did just that in Game 5 of the 1997 finals. En route to his fifth ring, in the midst of his second three-peat, Jordan had nothing more to prove. He may have looked bewildered in the first quarter, but he managed to drop 17 points in the second before hitting a huge three in the closing minute of the game. But still, he fought through sickness before collapsing in Scottie Pippen's arms as the final buzzer sounded. A photo of the two embracing as they left the hardwood is etched in sports history. In this epic show of heart, Jordan rocked the Air Jordan XII Black/Red which would later be aptly nicknamed the Flu Games. Source: Dick Raphael / Getty 2 Allen Iverson, Reebok Answer 4 A.I. knew what he was doing. During the 2001 finals, Allen Iverson, the man who once had his mother braid his hair on the sidelines, pulled off one the meanest crossovers in history. He crossed his defender, Tyronn Lue, with a between the legs dribble, and clean step back jumper. As if that wasn't enough, Lue tripped and fell, and a 6'0' Iverson stepped over him in the most exaggerated way possible. Iverson ushered in and swagged out that scrappy era of basketball, and it allowed him to thrive. Other than being covered in tattoos and swallowed up in tall white tees, the trendsetter's signature Reebok line also popped off during his NBA run. Released in a ton of colors, and equipped with a zipper, the Answer 4 was just like its namesake— flashy and versatile. Source: Otto Greule Jr / Getty 3 Scottie Pippen, Nike Air More Uptempo Like the captain of any other championship team, MJ needed his lineup to be stacked with talent. Enter Scottie Pippen. Oft considered one of the best small forwards to ever play, he held his own alongside Jordan. He emerged from the shadows when Jordan left the bench for the dugout—Pippen led the Bulls in points in the 1993-94 season. And after Jordan's return, Pippen had come into his own as the duo wrangled in another three rings. Folks began to take notice of his kicks game when he began to rock Nike's hottest silhouettes during the Swoosh's Basketball-designed sneakers heyday. Even though Pippen had his own signature sneakers, he would often rock the Air More Uptempo's. A nod to the flashy sportswear of the time, the sneakers read 'AIR' in giant letters along the upper. He was even outfitted with a USA-themed pair for the 1996 Olympics, The kicks were popular then and have since seen a resurgence in recent years with skate scene giant Supreme recently unveiling its own iteration. Source: Nathaniel S. Butler / Getty 4 Mike Bibby, Air Jordan XII 'Sacramento' Cherry Hill's own Mike Bibby is known for two things: being part of one of the best 1-2 punches in NBA history, and his impressive PE collection. PE's— or Player Exclusives— are special colorways of sneakers given to athletes to match their uniforms. Bibby— a PE gawd thanks to his Nike connect— always came through with some on-court heat. Sneakerheads first caught on to Bibby's sneaker game in college where he won a National Championship while wearing the notoriously slippery Foamposites. Fast forward to the NBA, and Bibby had a slew of PE that were draped in purple to match his Sacramento Kings uniforms. But often times he'd humble himself, like the time he wore a pair of general release Black/Chrome XVII. Or, he'd stunt like he did in the first round of Western Conference playoffs when he rocked a 1-of-1 pair of Black and Purple XIIs. We're not even gonna ask how he balled in lowtops. Source: Glenn James / Getty 5 Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway, Nike Air Flight One These were so good even Jordan stopped rocking the coveted 11s to sport the Air Flight One. Back when Nike Basketball was on one, the brand churned out signature and inline kicks like it was nothing. Hardaway opted for the Air Flight One during the 1994-95 season and the playoffs, with his number stitched in the heel. Anfernee would only reach the finals this one time, and the departure of Shaquille O'Neal, alongside the emergence of a young Kobe Bean Bryant, surely didn't help things. But Penny is the namesake of the Foamposite, a staple in NYC and the DMV. Just ask Wale. Source: Jonathan Daniel / Getty 6 Kobe Bryant, Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme 'Playoffs' PE The name we all scream as we toss something in the garbage can. The man whose ego matches up to his talent. Kobe's one of the best basketball players to ever wear a jersey, so you already know that he's had a few stellar moments in the playoffs while rocking his own signature sneaker line. The last time we'd see Kobe in the post season would be during the 2011-12 season and he'd been eliminated during the Western conference semifinals. He was able to show off some heat with the Kobe VII Supreme 'Playoffs' PE with an all yellow upper. And the purple pair he rocked during the Denver series were fire, too. We can't knock him for getting eliminated so soon. Remember, this is when Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell 'Broadie' Westbrook were on their own mini-super team out in Oklahoma. Source: Evan Gole / Getty 7 LeBron James, Nike Zoom LeBron 3 It was 2006 and Bron Bron had finally made it to the playoffs. It was his third year in the league and he was ready to overcome all the talk about him being overrated. He and the rest of the Cavs were able to roll pass the Washington Wizards but just couldn't make it past the Detroit Pistons. However, he still proved he had what it takes to lead a team to the past the regular season. Still maturing, a scrawny James, full of energy but lacking experience, just didn't have the supporting cast to push forward. But he battled while rocking one of his hottest signature sneakers yet, the Nike Zoom LeBron 3: a perfect mesh of Nike's then-new Zoom technology with the sturdiness to keep the 6'8' small forward on his feet. Source: MCT / Getty 8 Jerry West, Converse Chuck Taylor Low Before new technology took over the basketball world, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star was the go to sneaker. And one of the greatest to ever don the iconic shoe is Jerry West, the man whose silhouette was used to create the NBA logo. Back in 1969, before the 3-point shot was even invented, West wore the sneakers in the nail-biting game 7 against the Boston Celtics. West and the Lakers would lose the game, despite his infamous 'Mr. Clutch' nickname. The Chuck Taylor lives on today as one of the few kicks that refuses to ever go out of style.

Beyonce rides into town for London leg of Cowboy Carter tour
Denim chaps and hot pants aren't most people's go-to outfit for standing outside on a drizzly June day in London but Beyonce fans with tickets to her Cowboy Carter tour joked they were enjoying their very own "rain-aissance". Referencing the singer's 7th studio album, for Wilfy - originally from - the weather wasn't going to dampen his spirits. "We came to rock and this time I'm going to see her 5 times, so on Saturday I'll be back. It's - this is a rain-aissance!" Her album Cowboy Carter may be responsible for the plethora of country-themed outfits, but this is not the star's first rodeo in terms of touring. As an artist who's been making music for over 25 years, this time around her 31 international shows are reportedly projected to make around £240m. For established artists, with their income from touring often surpassing revenue from streaming or sales nowadays, the price point of tickets can be a tricky line to tread - just ask . Figuring out how best to cover the costs of the massive touring infrastructure involved, make a profit whilst at the same time ensuring fans don't feel ripped off isn't easy to get right. From giant trucks to a mechanical bull, Beyonce fans are promised plenty of bang for their buck and at almost three hours long, it is her longest show yet. "I love this country album, it's so good," said Emily from . "I feel like it's going to be an amazing show." Enon from explained he'd taken a five-hour flight and spent a day ripping and sewing his cowboy-inspired tasselled denim crop top because "Beyonce is one of a kind, she changed my life, she made me who I am, and this is our little Met Gala". While there is quite a bit of pressure on the global superstar to deliver the goods, one man who knows more than most about how that feels is her dad, Dr Mathew Knowles, who was her manager for many years. "It takes a lot to be a good manager," he says, thoughtfully reflecting on that time, "but it takes even more to be a great one." From Destiny's Child up until 2011, he worked alongside his daughter for some of her biggest hits. "I'm one of the best managers ever," he says in all seriousness. While he has a ticket to see her perform in London, he is already in town to teach students at the London College of Contemporary Music where Sky News caught up with him. Read more from Sky News: Here also to help find a new talent deserving of a music scholarship in his name. The candidate, he explained, has to be "a student who's shown this real capacity, commitment and passion for the music industry". A stickler for young talent putting the practice in, he says: "Some artists aren't ready to tour… from a creative standpoint and a performance standpoint [you need to] put in 10,000 hours." When her UK tour tickets went on sale, fans reported prices seemed to stay static, suggesting "dynamic pricing" wasn't used to cash in on demand. On , Dr Knowles said: "I had to learn the value as a manager of understanding where each and every ticket goes. "You know, it's sad that often the artist gets the black eye when in fact the manager should be more involved…sometimes the artist doesn't even know about it until they hear these complaints." Of course, you'll hear few complaints from those with a ticket to see Beyonce on the UK leg of her world tour. Music-wise Milton from says he is confident his idol will "bring everyone together". But, he said, he wasn't so sure about whether he'd need carrying out afterwards. "When I see her I may die - a heart attack at a Beyonce concert? It would be worth it. What a way to go."
