Robert De Niro was out getting some fresh air, slapping his balls around like he usually does — mainly at another unidentified person!

LOLz, we mean TENNIS balls!

It'd be a much different story if Robert had been seen slapping his shame grapes at some poor person out in public! That'd be awful!

Nope, these were just regular old tennis balls — yellow and bouncy! We're happy to see him being out and so active, even at his age!

You gotta stay fit if you want to be in the game as long as Robert! That's for sure! Ha!

Being two of the best tennis players in the world is NOT easy! Just ask the Williams sisters!

Serena and Venus are both hard at work overseas competing in the Internazionali BNL d'Italia tournament in Italy! But the girls decided to take a little break from the action and hit the streets do a little shopping!

As Ron Burgundy would say, "When in Rome!" LOLz!

Serena continues to show why she's the number 1 female tennis player in the world and is cruising along to the quarterfinals! Venus, on the other hand, had an early exit after she was defeated by Laura Robson in the 1st round!

Nothing like a little retail therapy to take you're mind off a tough loss, right ladies? Besides, from the looks of bags she's carrying it's not like she's going home empty handed! Ha!

Well well well! It looks like Maria Sharapova may have found herself a new doubles partner, and right now the score is LOVE-LOVE!

The sexy tennis superstar has recently been seen in Spain with her new man Grigor Dimitrov, and apparently the two have been taking breaks from the Madrid Open to do some serious smooching!

WOW!

It's been an amazeballz few days for the LGBT community in sports! We aren't quite where we need and deserve to be, but we sure are on our way!!

Not only did Jason Collins come out as a gay man actively in the NBA, but the NHL has partnered with pro-gay initiatives, and now we're hearing that Andy Roddick & Mardy Fish have joined Athlete Ally — which is taking a stand against homophobia!!

Here's what Andy said:

They've been around so long that we don't even really stop to think about it very much: Venus Williams and Serena Williams are sisters!

Everyone knows that, but just THINK about it for a second!

What does that do to your life and identity? How does your relationship hold up to all of that? How do you not become bitter enemies??

Well, it turns out that they're both the best of friends… and the biggest rivals!

Here's what Venus had to say:

This has to be the cutest thing ever!!!

When Venus Williams isn't busy inspiring future tennis stars, she's taking pics with fans, and we think it's adorable!

The tennis star caught up with some of her followers at Serious Tennis in Atlanta, and even though girlfriend was towering over all of the lovely ladies (above), we still loved how much of a good sport she was…

Especially because everyone was smiling from ear to ear!!

Ch-ch-check out Venus and her biggest fans (above)!

While we don't think getting victory portraits would be the coolest part of winning the Sony Open (that trophy is pretty rad), it's still pretty great that they make the effort to do this!

What better way to catch Serena William's happiness than right after she wins the Women's Finals??

Also, it's a beach in Florida! It could be at waaaaaay worse locations! LOLz!

And to think, it could've been Maria Sharapova standing there, had she not lost the match! Maybe next time, girl!

Congrats, Serena!
