Likewise, the US Open tennis tournament is underway, as it is another major sporting event. Just like the soccer matches, many celebrities attend the tennis grand slam event in a bid to catch their favorite superstars.

Thus, Holland prefers soccer and prepares to watch the Argentinean maestro play against LAFC. He ditched Novak Djokovic to watch Lionel Messi according to the guest list. Zendaya might have a few words to say!
