Emma Navarro was celebrating a hard-fought U.S. Open victory Monday ... but her opponent was having a very different kind of moment just behind her.

Navarro beat her opponent -- Lois Boisson -- in a three-set first-round battle at the U.S. Open ... but the drama didn't end when the final point was over, as Boisson was seen smashing her racket repeatedly into the ground while Navarro celebrated her win.

The rackets remained scattered on the court as Boisson walked away, with ball girls eventually coming over to collect them.

A gang of wrestlers and Real Housewives stars, including Porsha Williams and Teresa Giudice, came face-to-face in Atlanta ... but thankfully, the only thing getting slammed was a phone screen!

Pixel Flow rolled out a celebrity game night last week -- Bravo stars and wrestlers in the same room -- and yeah, there was some trash talk.

Teresa, Porsha and Ashley Darby held things down for the RH crew ... while Dean Muhtadi, fka Mojo Rawley, Cassie Lee, fka Peyton Royce, Jordynne Grace, and Kacy Catanzaro repped the wrestlers.

90 Day Fiancé star Loren Brovarnik and creator Noelle Foley were also in the house.

The celebs took turns playing the super popular game -- and with their screens projected for everyone to see -- there was nowhere to hide.

Pigs on a conveyor belt. Color-matched pixel cubes. Level up. It was as simple as that ... everyone witnessed every bad tap.

Before heading to Porsha's home turf, Teresa teased the trip on social media, billing the event as a "friendly competition."

Lionel Messi is hanging up his Argentina jersey for good ... announcing his retirement from international soccer in an emotional message to fans.

Messi said Monday he'd spent weeks thinking about his future following Argentina's loss to Spain in the World Cup final, ultimately deciding it was time to walk away from the national team.

The 39-year-old said the decision "hurts me a lot," but explained he's proud of everything he experienced and accomplished with Argentina ... and thanked his family, teammates, coaches and fans who supported him throughout the ride.

Novak Djokovic suffered a surprising loss in the first round of the U.S. Open Sunday night -- and he threw up and broke down in tears during the match.

In the fifth set, while down 3-1, Djokovic started tearing up as the crowd tried to cheer him on to victory, but nothing could help the tennis great who's been struggling lately with health issues.

WWE Superstar Paige is pissed ... after she says a collector crossed the line during a recent interaction at the airport in Chicago.

Paige walked TMZ Sports through the story outside LAX this week, and it's clear the incident made the former champ uncomfortable ... when the guy showed up uninvited with dozens of photos to sign.

"I'm usually pretty chill about it, honestly. I'm like, whatever," she told us, but this time was different.

Aaron Donald is officially back in the NFL ... and the Los Angeles Rams just assembled a defensive nightmare by pairing him with Myles Garrett.

Donald is coming out of retirement and rejoining the Rams on a one-year, $20 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move ends months of speculation surrounding the future Hall of Famer ... and gives L.A. one helluva pass-rushing duo after the Rams landed Garrett in a blockbuster trade with Cleveland earlier this summer.

Josh Jacobs has been sidelined by the NFL amid his criminal case ... TMZ Sports has learned the league placed the Packers star running back on the Commissioner's Exempt List.

We're told by the NFL Jacobs may not practice or attend games while he's on the list.

Bebe Rexha is putting the kibosh on those Jordan Clarkson dating rumors ... saying the NBA champ is just a pal!

TMZ Sports caught up with the singer out in NYC this week and asked if there were "sparks" between her and the Knicks star after they spent a full day together last month.

Bebe, who was takin' pics with fans, quickly shut it down, shaking her head no, and saying, "friends."

As we previously reported earlier this summer, Rexha and Clarkson, 34, raised eyebrows after painting the town together (literally) in the Big Apple ... starting with an art session alongside artist Leopoldo Gout.

Video of OBJ speaking to reporters is making the rounds online -- and the 33-year-old wide receiver looks noticeably different to some fans, prompting a wave of comments asking what happened to his appearance.

A bunch of people are zeroing in on Beckham's face ... with some telling him to chill on the Botox and others simply wondering what changed.

IndyCar pulled off one of the wildest one-off races in years -- 100K+ fans, the nation's capital, cars rippin' around the streets -- and the guy who won the historic race has a simple take on a sequel.

Don't do it!

When TMZ DC asked the Andretti Global driver if he'd like to return next year, he hit up with an interesting answer.

American sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams was arrested for driving under the influence, TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Marvin was busted on August 3 in Orlando, Florida.

Jed York was NOT kicked to the curb by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group over his prostitution-related arrest, despite a report to the contrary ... at least according to the organization.

Here's the deal ... a story published Thursday claimed the San Francisco 49ers owner was removed as acting chairman at SVLG after his embarrassing arrest in Ohio.

However, a rep for SVLG tells TMZ ... the story tying York's leadership change to the bust is "false and misleading" ... saying the group's next Board Chair had already been chosen weeks before York's arrest.

The rep says the group's Executive Board unanimously voted August 11 to select Nutanix President Tarkan Maner as its next Board Chair ... after a collaborative process that wrapped earlier this summer.

Enes Kanter is turning his WNBA ejection into moolah, baby ... by putting his John Hancock to photographs of the former NBA big man getting tossed from Sunday's Sky game in Chicago.

TMZ Sports obtained video of Kanter, 34, after he landed in D.C. Thursday night, as autograph seekers were already waiting with the goods.

No old Jazz or Celtics shots, here, though ... instead the 'graphers had printed stills of Kanter being escorted out of Wintrust Arena.

He signed them.

Of course, it's a now-infamous moment from last weekend ... when Enes attended the nationally televised game in the Windy City, only for Natasha Cloud to start jawing with him, sparking an intense verbal argument that led to his ejection.

After he was booted, Kanter posted, "I just got kicked out of a WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA!"

Days after the incident, Sky owner Michael Alter moved to ban Enes, labeling him a "potential threat."

The WNBA chose not to follow suit ... opting not to give the story more air.

Two scam artists -- one posing as a San Francisco 49ers player -- cheated 26 women out of $1.3 million as part of an investment scheme ... according to federal authorities, who have now arrested and charged them with serious crimes.

Federal prosecutors in Portland, Oregon, charged Daejon Labrayae Love, 35, and Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. The FBI arrested Love and Chan at Boise Airport in Idaho on August 24 after prosecutors said the suspects flew in to "meet new victims."

According to the feds, Love and Chan kicked off their scam in February 2022, creating fake investments to steal money from women in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California.

Love allegedly connected with the women over the Internet and on dating apps, passing himself off as a wealthy investor and NFL player, and introduced them to Chan. Authorities say Love told the victims Chan was his financial adviser to gain their trust and show that he was a serious businessman -- part of a scam that saw him empty their bank accounts.
