Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne turns heads in chic white look, drops 4-word take on 5X Grand Slam winner

Pittsburgh Pirates hurler Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is enjoying her time away from baseball, as the former LSU gymnast has been attending the U.S. Open.

Dunne shared a snippet from Wednesday's slate of games on social media. In an Instagram post, Dunne donned a chic white dress with a U.S. Open cap.

She captioned her story:

"We are so back."

Dunne was at the venue for the second round of the tournament and shared a picture of three-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz. The second-seed Alcaraz, who faced Italian Mattia Bellucci, was in action in the former LSU star's second story.

"Now that's a serve," Dunne captioned the picture of Alcaraz serving.

The 2022 champion was relentless on the night, dispatching World No. 65 Bellucci in straight sets 6-1, 6-0, 6-3 to make it to the next round. Alvarez will face 32nd-seeded Italian Luciano Darderi next.

If he continues extending his eight-game winning streak, the 22-year-old Spaniard could face Novak Djokovic in a potential semi-final bout.

Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, cheers for World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka

Olivia Dunne called time on her gymnastics career in April after five years with the LSU Tigers. The former athlete has been a constant presence at PNC Park this season to cheer for her boyfriend, Paul Skenes.

However, she is also cheering for other athletes, as the former LSU star dropped a three-word message for World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka during her game against Rebeca Masarova in the first round of the U.S. Open earlier this week.

"Some badass women," Dunne captioned her post featuring the two players.

Sabalenka breezed past Masarova for a 7-5, 6-1 win. In the second on Wednesday, the defending champion defeated Polina Kudermetova 7-6 (4), 6-2 to progress through to the third round.

While Chaitanya's favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista's iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.

Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players' self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
