Puffer jackets in the desert? Taste of Tennis served up delicious eats (and plenty of style) in Indian Wells

The latest Tennis United episode brought some Latin flair, and a huge celebrity. Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi came on to talk about his tennis skills, his hit "Despacito" and Monica Puig's Olympic win in 2016.

"You win some, you lose some and that's kind of how it is in music," Fonsi said. "I get up, I write songs every day, some become hits, some don't."

"Despacito" is currently the most-watched YouTube video in history with over 6.825 billion views.

Fonsi has some tennis skills, too. He got to hop on a tennis court with Puig at an exhibition match in Acapulco last year, and both remembered the day fondly.

"As far as our swag and our style, we were on point," Fonsi said. "That's really all that matters."

Puig won the gold medal in Rio, making her the first athlete from Puerto Rico to win the Olympics.

"This was like it for Puerto Rican sports," Fonsi said. "We are a little island—there's barley 4 million of us that live on the island, but we're very passionate about everything. When she won that gold, it was emotional, let me tell you.
