Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams among stars who honor science achievement at Breakthrough Prize Ceremony

A young trio of ATP stars took advantage of their time in China to catch sight of everyone's favorite rare bear, the panda. In Chengdu for the ATP 250, Jared Donaldson, Karen Khachanov and Taylor Fritz got to explore the Chengdu Panda Base and see both pandas and red pandas. They even tried to learn some Mandarin along the way.

"It's really nice to see something outside of the tournament," Khachanov said. "To spend some time with people here. I think we are really thankful."

"We travel so much, you need to be able to go out and explore a bit and take your mind off of tennis," Fritz added.

Back to tennis. Donaldson, who apparently doubles as a cameraman, is into the Chengdu quarterfinals.

Fritz faces Nikoloz Basilashvili for a chance to join Donaldson in the quarters. Khachanov was seeded third, but fell in his opening round.
