WATCHING TENNIS — Who among us hasn't earned a leading role in a Marvel movie in 2017 only to begin dating their co-star later that summer and becoming one of the internet's favorite couples?
OK, maybe that's just Zendaya and Tom Holland, who looked very much in love during an appearance at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, over the weekend.
The "Dune: Part Two" star and everybody's favorite neighborhood Spider-Man were caught on camera Sunday, sitting together and acing their shot at arguably the country's most adorable couple.
We can also only assume Holland was helping Zendaya take notes for her upcoming tennis-based movie, Challengers, where she plays professional tennis prodigy-turned-coach Tashi Duncan, whose career redemptive arc for her husband and client takes a surprising turn when he must face off against his former best friend and her ex-boyfriend, according to the show's description on IMDB.
Of course, the two were quickly spotted by the broadcast team, where the Tennis Channel referred to Holland as "Spidey" and the duo was caught adorably singing along to Whitney Houston's "I wanna dance with somebody" over the PA system.

The actress who played Chani in the blockbuster "Dune" saga later posed with Polish pro Iga Swiatek after her 6-4, 6-0 win over Maria Sakkari in the women's championship. Carlos Alcaraz outlasted Daniil Medvedev 7-6 (5), 6-1 to win his first title since Wimbledon last year, according to the Associated Press.

She wasn't mic'd up, but we're guessing Zendaya's private version of the Whitney Houston classic was pretty good — based solely on her scene-stealing performance opposite Zac Efron in the musical hit, "The Greatest Showman" (remember them?).
Of course, Zendaya and Holland have made a habit of frequenting different games and sporting events throughout their courtship.
Most notably, the actors sat courtside during last year's playoff series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, as noted by ESPN.
