Jannik Sinner is the No. 1 seed in the men's tournament, Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 seed in the women's. American tennis star Coco Gauff is the No. 2 seed on the women's side.

Patrick Schwarzenegger is glad that viewers' loathing for Saxon on ‘White Lotus' evolved into love
Patrick Schwarzenegger is still coming off the 'whirlwind of emotions' that was the making of 'The White Lotus' Season 3. The actor, who is taking part in a new campaign for Venmo with costar Aimee Lou Wood, spoke to CNN recently about how his perspective has changed since the release of the show, which saw his character Saxon go from loathsome finance bro to a vulnerable young man who realized he has a lot to learn. 'It was definitely a learning experience for me, being on this show,' Schwarzenegger said, adding that the viewership and engaged fandom – famous for its memes and fan theories -– was an experience 'that I've been never been part of.' As for his character – a 'grandiose alpha male that comes in grabbing his crotch and walking around naked,' in Schwarzenegger's words – he acknowledged that there were indeed some parallels between himself and who he portrayed, particularly in how they each were received by the viewing public over the course of the season. 'I think people did not like the character, and what happened was, a lot of people did not know who I was,' he said. '(They would) come up with their preconceived ideas of who I am or how I got the role' based, of course, on his famous last name. As the Mike White-created show went on, viewers learned that there was a lot more to Saxon than met the eye, and it was delivered via Schwarzenegger's capable acting chops – family name notwithstanding. 'It's a mistake to think you know a character that's in a Mike White show on day 1, or on week 2 or week 3,' he shared. Schwarzenegger called the show's creator 'very smart' in how he writes his characters, and 'how they change.' Or don't. 'It was fun for me to watch the hysteria of it all and how it evolved over time,' he said. And while he wasn't surprised that viewers received his character rather coolly at first, he was moved by how much they eventually warmed up to him. 'But I also did not know to what extent people were going to like Saxon,' he said. 'It was a very big roller coaster ride of people despising him to (him) becoming one of the most liked and enjoyed characters by the end, because he had a place to go to.' The same could be said of Schwarzenegger himself, who is slated to appear opposite Al Pacino in the feature 'Billy Knight,' according to his IMDb page. (The project is in post-production with no public release date set). The actor's famous father, however, might have some thoughts on any further on-screen nudity. In their conversation for Variety's 'Actors on Actors,' he once again sounded off on the topic spurred by Saxon's nude scene in the 'White Lotus' season 3 premiere, but this time, in a lovingly embarrassing that way only a father could. 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there, and all of a sudden, I see the weenie,' the elder Schwarzenegger said. His son – and the Internet – howled with laughter. Rollercoaster, indeed.

Why Alexis Bledel Had to Pull Out of Emmys Consideration for 'The Handmaid's Tale' Season 6
Alexis Bledel made a surprise return as Emily in the series finale of The Handmaid's Tale, but she won't be eligible for an Emmy Award for her guest appearance. According to Variety, she was submitted to be considered for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series but had to be removed from the category due to a change in Emmys rules. The update states that actors who were previously nominated in the lead or supporting acting categories for a show are disqualified from being nominated in the guest star category for that same show. The Television Academy informed Bledel's team that, due to this change, she would be moved to the supporting actress pool, but Bledel instead opted to withdraw from consideration, Variety reports. Bledel already won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Handmaid's in 2017. She was then nominated for supporting actress in 2018, and then as guest actress again in 2020 and 2021. While her name won't be appearing on the ballot, The Handmaid's Tale still has 35 submissions for awards this year, according to Variety. Bledel, who parted ways with the Hulu series in season 5, makes a cameo in the show's final episode, which aired on May 27. 'It was an immediate yes,' she told The Hollywood Reporter of making her return. 'It felt right to bring closure to Emily's journey and offer the audience a sense of completion. Bruce put together such a kind and talented group, and so many of the original crew were still there in season six. The production runs like a well-oiled machine—everyone brings their best. I'm excited to see what they create in [sequel series] The Testaments.'
