America's Taylor Fritz outshone Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova to win a star-studded online tennis tournament, earning $1 million for hungry children in the United States.
Fritz, the world number 24, and social media star Addison Rae beat Japan's Kei Nishikori and DJ Steve Aoki to win the 'Stay at Home Slam', where players and celebrities faced off in a Nintendo tennis game while isolating because of the coronavirus.
Venus Williams and Naomi Osaka were among the other tennis players taking part from their homes, along with models Gigi Hadid and Hailey Beiber, while John McEnroe provided commentary.
"I was more nervous there than in any of my real matches," Fritz said, according to the ATP site.
"This was so much fun. Addison absolutely carried the team."
