Williams said: "He's close to as good to watch as
"He just walks around the table as if he's just walking to go to the toilet or something.
"He's just strolling. Pots from anywhere. Walks around not a care in the world.

Liam Gallagher dedicates Stand By Me to mum Peggy in emotional moment
Liam Gallagher dedicated Stand By Me to his mother Peggy during the second sold out Oasis show on Sunday in a sweet moment on stage. Fans came from far and wide for another wild night in the capital as the Britpop legends make their epic return. If the rapturous reception to Saturday's show is anything to go by, fans are in for a treat once again tonight. While Sunday had some funny moments as Liam was booed when shouting out Mayo, or Noel getting some boos when giving Manchester a nod, one heartwarming moment took place before Stand By Me as Liam dedicated the tune to his mum Peggy who 'had a knee operation in the past couple of months'. "This next one's for me mam, she's had a knee operation in the past couple of months, this one's called Stand By Me," Liam told the audience at Croke Park before starting Stand By Me. Liam also dedicated Stand By Me to Peggy on Saturday. She was in the audience for yesterday's show, no doubt proud as punch to see her two boys back together in her home country. Oasis have arrived in Ireland to play two sold-out shows in front of what promises to be a buzzing Croke Park crowd. More than 80,000 'mad fer it' fans will attend each concert on Saturday and Sunday (August 16 and 17), which have been marked by the band's now traditional drone show above the venue ahead of this weekend's festivities. A pint of Guinness at Croke Park for the shows will cost punters €7.35, while a Rockshore pint will set you back €8. Cider is the same at €8 a pop, while a 187ml of red, white or rose wine costs €9.

‘She regrets playing with me' – Venus Williams' doubles partner makes heartbreaking quip after linking up with legend
The tennis star also opened up on having an A-list athlete sitting courtside at her matches WILL POWER 'She regrets playing with me' – Venus Williams' doubles partner makes heartbreaking quip after linking up with legend HAILEY BAPTISTE joked that Venus Williams regretted playing with her while reflecting on her recent doubles run with the tennis icon. Baptiste, 23, partnered up with Williams in what was the 45-year-old's return to action following a 16-month lay-off. 3 Venus Williams partnered Hailey Baptiste in Washington Credit: Getty 3 Baptiste, 23, opened up on her incredible experience Credit: YouTube/ WTA The pair defeated Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue before narrowly falling to No2 seeds Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai. Baptiste and Williams' matches attracted huge crowds, with even NBA superstar Kevin Durant pulling up to watch. Ahead of the US Open, Baptiste caught up with pal Frances Tiafoe over coffee. The pair have plenty in common, having both honed their talents at the Junior Tennis Champions Center at Maryland Park as kids. During their conversation, posted on the ATP's social media channels, Baptiste reflected on the surreal experience of playing with American icon Williams. The world No51 said: "It was insane. From the moment I heard that we were going to play and it was set up, I was like, that's all I can think about. I'm about to play with a legend." When Tiafoe, whose twin brother Franklin coaches Baptiste, pointed out the nerves that come with playing alongside such an illustrious partner, she added: "Every ball I miss I'm like 'she regrets playing with me'." As Tiafoe howled with laughter, Baptiste went on: "She's like 'I'm wasting my time'. I was obviously crazy nervous. Venus and Serena are obviously the people I looked up to my entire life.

"Especially for doubles, we're talking about doubles. That was at Citi Open, it could have been Ashe the way people sounded, it was nuts." Venus Williams confirms engagement to actor partner as she rolls back years to win first match in two years Asked about Durant's attendance, Baptiste admitted: "I was so locked in on Venus, like I can't even think about KD. "I heard it, like I heard people start screaming, 'KD, KD'. He was into it though, clapping and everything. I was so focused on Venus." Williams stunned Peyton Stearns in the singles even at the Citi Open, beating the world No35 6-3 6-4 in front of a raucous crowd. The tour veteran has been awarded a wildcard for the upcoming US Open - 28 years on from reaching the final on her debut back in 1997. Williams is also set to take part in next week's glitzy revamped mixed doubles event. The legendary tennis icon will partner fellow American Reilly Opelka. Baptiste, meanwhile, will also be in singles action in New York. The Washington-born star will hope to win a singles match at the US Open for the first time.

Price of a pint of beer for Oasis at Croke Park confirmed
Oasis have arrived in Ireland to play two sold-out shows in front of what promises to be a buzzing Croke Park crowd. More than 80,000 'mad fer it' fans will attend each concert on Saturday and Sunday (August 16 and 17), which have been marked by the band's now traditional drone show above the venue ahead of this weekend's festivities. A pint of Guinness at Croke Park for the shows will cost punters €7.35, while a Rockshore pint will set you back €8. Cider is the same at €8 a pop, while a 187ml of red, white or rose wine costs €9. Drink prices at Croke Park So far, the reunion tour has broken an array of records, with its Wembley Stadium leg notching a particularly important gong. Oasis fans set a new record for England's national stadium by drinking an average of 250,000 pints across each of their five nights there. To do so, attendees parted with some serious cash, with a pint of Stella Artois at the venue bars setting customers back £7.85 (approximately €9.10) while a Magners Cider was priced at £7.75 (approximately €9). Elsewhere, at the more recent Murrayfield Stadium concerts, a pint of Heineken amounted to £7.85(approximately €9.10), with a half pint of the lager costing £4.30 (approximately €5). Amstel was a little cheaper, at £7.50 (approximately €8.70), and a full pint of Inch's cider cost the same. Heineken 0% was available, and at a slightly cheaper price of £6 (approximately €6.95), with a gluten-free lager option valued at £7 (approximately €8.10). Back in the brothers' home city of Manchester, during their Heaton Park gigs, pints of both Brooklyn Pilsner and Brothers Apple Cider set fans back £6.50 apiece (approximately €7.50), considerably cheaper than the first two comeback performances at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. There, a pint of Heineken cost £8.20 (approximately €9.50), as did a Dark Fruits, Strongbow or Murphy's.
