Martina Navratilova praises actress Liza Colon-Zayas’s call for Latinas to vote in the upcoming US Presidential election
Tennis icon Martina Navratilova praised Emmy Award winner Liza Colon-Zayas for encouraging Latinas to vote in the upcoming US presidential election. Colon-Zayas made history as the first Latina to win the Emmy for ‘Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series’ for her role in ‘The Bear’.
The US presidential election, set for November 5, will see current Vice President Kamala Harris representing the Democrats against Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump in the race for the White House.
During her acceptance speech, Colon-Zayas shared an inspiring message directed at her fellow Latinas, which caught Navratilova’s attention, prompting her to respond with clap emojis.
“And all the Latinas who are looking at me, Keep believing, and vote. Vote for your rights,” Liza Colon-Zayas said.
Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle takes in three adorable stray kittens
Taylor Fritz and his girlfriend Morgan Riddle gave shelter to three stray kittens. Riddle posted a few photos on Instagram, showing her time with the newly adopted kittens.
One image featured her in a casual outfit while snapping a selfie. In a series of short videos shared in the same Instagram story, Riddle was seen playing with all three kittens in her lap. Another clip showed her grooming the kittens, working to rid them of fleas.
“New foster babies”, she captioned the videos with the kittens.
“They were found in LA yesterday so I combed out all their fleas,” Riddle wrote on Instagram.
Taylor Fritz recently concluded his US Open campaign with a runner-up finish. The first-time Grand Slam finalist lost 3-6, 4-6, 5-7 to top seed Jannik Sinner in the final. The American tennis star is currently in Berlin where he will participate in the Laver Cup.
Jannik Sinner adds Novak Djokovic’s former trainer and physiotherapist to his team
Jannik Sinner has on boarded Novak Djokovic’s former trainer, Marco Panichi, and physiotherapist, Ulises Badio, to join his team. This move follows Sinner’s decision to part ways with his previous fitness trainer, Umberto Ferrara, and physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi, in the wake of a doping scandal.
Last month, it was disclosed that Sinner had failed two drug tests in March for the steroid Clostebol. Initially suspended, the Italian tennis star managed to overturn the decision on appeal, allowing him to continue competing while the tribunal investigated further.
The ITIA accepted Sinner’s explanation that the steroid had entered his system inadvertently through Naldi, who had used an over-the-counter spray containing Clostebol, purchased by Ferrara, to treat an injury. As a result, both Ferrara and Naldi were dismissed from Sinner’s team.
Sinner has now announced on social media that Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio will be joining his team.
“Welcome to the team Marco and Ulises” (translated from Italian)

Panichi parted ways with Djokovic at the end of April this year, while Badio left at the end of 2022.
