Tennis is no stranger to the occasional appearance of star names from other fields. In the 2023 season alone, fans have witnessed Brad Pitt’s amazement at the wonder shot of Alcaraz in the Wimbledon finals, and the charm of Charlize Theron at Flushing Meadows. Now, it is time for Guadalajara to showcase its power of attracting celebrity names. Although the on-court actions at the 2023 Guadalajara Open have captivated fans, a celebrity has far exceeded it with her childlike innocence. It is none other than the beautiful American actress Eva Longoria.

As Danielle Collins and Sachia Vickery lined up for their match, Longoria walked onto the tennis court for the coin toss. The incident proved to be astonishing for the fans as the appearance was quite unexpected. But what followed was the highlight of the evening.

The Akron Tennis Stadium was all set to bring fans the entertainment they were looking for, and everyone had their eyes on the court. That’s when something unusual happened. Famous American actress Eva Longoria, who is well known for her comic presence in the television series “Desperate Housewives”, walked onto the court where Danielle Collins and Sachia Vickery lined up for their match.

Alongside being a surprising moment for the fans, it became a funny moment for Collins and Vickery. Right after the toss helped them pick sides, Eva started walking away without a picture. However, she stepped back and posed after being called by Danielle Collins as she asked, “Do we get a photo?“. Eva defended the question with a sarcastic response as she said, “With me? You guys… I don’t know what I’m doing” and hopped back to pose.

The incident gained the attention of every pair of eyes that watched. Along with that fun moment, the tournament didn’t cease to bring unbelievable tennis action to the fans. As soon as the match started, the game between Danielle Collins and Sachia Vickery took a turn that no one expected.
