Social buzz: Bouchard thrilled by the Miami Dolphins' miracle win
Eugenie Bouchard has been enjoying herself in Florida, where she took in an NFL match between the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Dolphins took the game 34-33 with a dramatic last-play, which has already been dubbed ‘the Miami Miracle’.
She certainly seemed to enjoy the experience – but her grandpa did not!
Amazing finish @MiamiDolphins! Everyone going nuts! Except my Grandpa who’s a @Patriots fan... 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/PfA4Id0W5h

Gabriela Sabatini, meanwhile, spent Sunday watching the second leg of Copa Libertadores final, South America’s biggest club soccer tournament, and the 1990 US Open winner was delighted to see River Plate overcome Buenos Aires rivals Boca Juniors after extra-time in Madrid, Spain.

There are barely two weeks until Christmas, so it is little surprise that many of the WTA’s biggest stars are beginning to get into a festive mood.
But with the 2019 season starting only a few days later, they are combining their celebrations with working hard to fine tune their games.
Australian duo Daria Gavrilova and Samantha Stosur, the WTA World No.35 and 75 respectively, have even gone so far as to have a hit with Santa Claus.
Santa arrived at Boroondara Tennis Centre today and met his match in @bambamsam30 and @Daria_gav 🎅 🎾 Great day celebrating club participation and a chance for local members to see some of Australia’s best women in action. #GoAussies pic.twitter.com/pzhZzfpwxe
