If you haven't been watching the 2017 US Open, now's the time to get your life together and tune TF in.

Serena Williams just welcomed a baby girl, but her big sister Venus Williams is holding it down on the tennis court.

The 37-year-old pro is making history with two other black female American players, Sloane Stephens (24) and Madison Keys (22). All three advanced to the quarterfinal round of the US Open. And that’s the first time it's ever happened.

YAS!

Venus earned her quarterfinals spot after defeating Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain.

She'll return to the court this evening to go head-to-head against Petra Kvitová of Czech Republic.

Sloane Stephens sprinkled her magic and defeated Elina Svitolina from the Ukraine.

She's making her amazing comeback after last year's major foot injury at the Olympics.

“It’s just really exciting. I’m really happy that none of us are playing each other in the quarterfinals,” Keys told the Los Angeles Times.“If there’s some all-American matchups in the rest of the tournament, I think that says really good things about women’s tennis.”

19-year-old Haitian-Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka upset the US Open when she beat the defending champ Angelique Kerber in round one. She did her thing up until she was eliminated by E. Svitolina yesterday. By the way, we'd like to note Maria Sharapova was also eliminated on Sunday.
