For the prestigious television event, Florence Pugh selected a custom lilac gown designed by legendary British fashion house Vivienne Westwood. The enchanting gown features a signature structured corset bodice that nips in tightly at the waist. Delicate, sheer lavender chiffon drapes loosely around the arms, slipping gracefully off the shoulders. The form-fitting skirt hugged her hips before cascading into a dramatic, sweeping train that glided across the floor.

She turned around sideways and glanced back over her shoulder, flashing a confident smile at photographers. The sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves fluttered softly as she walked down the event carpet, creating an ethereal fairytale effect under the bright venue lights.

NEW YORK — Forget the Honey Deuces and the celebrities-in-the-audience shots. The finest element of the U.S. Open — the Grand Slam held in the largest tennis stadium in the world — will always be the tennis itself. The trick, in 2026 and beyond, is how to get audiences to actually care about, you know, that tennis.
Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev did their very best on Sunday, bringing both narrative and firepower to the four-set men's final. Yes, the influencers were posing at every aisle on every changeover, and more than a few fans appeared unclear on the basic concept of "sit your ******* down while the point is going on." But when Shelton and Zverev locked in, unleashing serves that nearly hit 150 mph or lashing shots that skipped a fingernail's width in bounds, the crowd was right there with them, rising and falling, a living thing that pulsed with energy unlike any other stadium in tennis.
Less than 24 hours earlier on the same court, Elena Rybakina finished off Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set triumph of resolve and willpower over emotion and firepower. Sabalenka, who had won the previous two Opens, entered as the crowd favorite. But the fans in the stands at Arthur Ashe love hard-fought on-court battles as much as they love the endless scroll of celebrity cameos on the video boards. So after a couple dozen Hollywood and music stars took their turns to varying volumes of applause, the crowd focused in on the match. Sabalenka drew motivational cheers, and then, once the result was clear, Rybakina inspired celebratory ones.
The two matches ended this year's U.S. Open on a triumphant note. At last, the tennis tournament centered on actual tennis, not ticket prices or runway-style entrances to Arthur Ashe Stadium or hundred-dollar chicken nuggets. (Yes, I admit it, I was part of the problem with that last one.)
The influencers' presence dominated the early coverage of the U.S. Open, in large part because they did their job of drawing attention to themselves. But by the time the tournament reached its final crescendo, the influencers had moved on. Two hours before the men's final, the cheapest tickets to get in the stadium could be had for less than $400, suggesting that tennis for tennis' sake isn't the primary motivator for many attending the U.S. Open.

Elena Rybakina is the new US Open champion, having dismantled Aryna Sabalenka in the final with alarming precision.
Aside from a brief lapse in concentration at the end of the second set, the eventual victor was flawless throughout.
Her ball-striking constantly kept the top seed on the back foot, and given the dominant power Aryna Sabalenka usually exhibits over her opponents, this was particularly startling.
It's therefore no surprise that the 28-year-old cut such a frustrated figure throughout the match, hitting ***** , tossing her racket, and shouting and gesturing desperately towards her box.
However, it's what Sabalenka did in the very last game of the entire match that really caught Laura Robson's eye.

Aryna Sabalenka is hitting the tennis court for the final showdown in the women's singles division of the US Open on September 12. She's the No. 1 seed in women's singles, but she's got to beat Kazakhstani player Elena Rybakina to win that coveted US Open trophy. If Sabalenka wins, the 28-year-old will be celebrating a three-peat in the division, having already won in 2024 and 2025.
Throughout the tournament, Sabalenka has had the support of her fiancé, Georgios Frangulis, who has been proudly watching from the stands. Below, we rounded up everything to know about Frangulis and his relationship with the Belarusian tennis star. Scroll down for more.
Frangulis is a Brazilian entrepreneur who founded the company Oakberry in 2016. Although he studied law in Brazil, he never completed his degree or took the bar exam.

Update morning 9/12: Ben Shelton outlasted fellow American Frances Tiafoe in the all-American semifinal to set up a dramatic men's final vs. top-seeded German Alexander Zverev on Sunday afternoon. Zverev has had quite an easy draw to the final, and he'll be the favorite to win his second major this year. Shelton's big serve will test him, and it will be on Shelton to hit competitive backhands to match strokes with Zverev, who also won the French Open. Meanwhile, the women's final between No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina should be a banger, and that kicks off in just a few hours.
Update late night 9/10: It will be No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina for the women's ****** le at the 2026 US Open on Saturday afternoon. The men take the spotlight on Friday with an all-American semifinal between Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe, plus No. 1 seed Alexander Zverev vs. unseeded Karen Khachanov.
The 2026 US Open is down to the Final Four, and both the men's and women's draws have produced some fantastic matchups. It's been 23 years since an American man won a tennis Grand Slam, but there are two U.S. natives facing off against each other in the semifinals — on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, no less. The women's draw went straight chalk with the top four seeds advancing to the semis, promising to bring fans the highest level of tennis possible.
The women's semifinals both take place on Thursday, September 10. Top-seeded masher Aryna Sabalenka takes on American No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula to open play at 7 p.m. ET at Arthur Ashe. Sabalenka looked to be on the brink of a meltdown in the quarterfinals against Wimbledon champ Linda Nosková, but she dug deep to win the match and stay alive. Sabalenka is the biggest hitter on tour, but she's been in a slump in 2026 without a major championship. She has already lost her world No. 1 ranking after the tournament, but she won't care if she can win her fifth major and third straight US Open ****** le. The 32-year-old Pegula is enjoying a late career peak, and she's still chasing her first Grand Slam. Pegula's steady nature could be an advantage against the more emotional Sabalenka.
Elena Rybakina faces American Coco Gauff in the night cap. Rybakina is the No. 2 seed in this tournament, but she will surpass Sabalenka for the world No. 1 ranking when it's over regardless of what happens. At 27, Rybakina is the second-oldest woman to ever ascend to world No. 1 in the rankings for the first time. Gauff will be the fan favorite. She was not at her top level in her quarterfinal victory over Mirra Andreeva, but she still got the job done to advance. Gauff beat Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open final and the 2025 French Open final. She's seeking her third major at age-22.

Spain won't be an easy opponent though — the national team has produced a number of blowout wins, but an upset defeat against Mali was uncharacteristic. The Spanish side has plenty of WNBA talent that will challenge the Americans, including Awa Fam, Elena Buenavida, Raquel Carrera and rookie Iyana Martin.
Can the U.S. land in another championship game, or will Spain slow their momentum?

The women's side of the US Open nearly had an all-American final, with the semifinals featuring Aryna Sabalenka vs. American Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina vs. American Coco Gauff. Unfortunately for the Stars and Stripes, when Thursday night ended, neither Pegula nor Gauff had advanced, with Pegula losing in straight sets and Gauff falling in three.
One of the attendees in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night was former First Lady Michelle Obama. As dissapointing as Thursday's results may have been for the former White House resident, Obama still sent a message of support at the conclusion of the matches.
"Big hugs to CocoGauff!!! She's a joy to watch. Always proud. Go USA Tennis!!" Obama posted on X.
As positive as Obama's message was, many fans on social media took exception to Obama not also addressing Pegula's performance, and questioned if there were racial motivations behind Obama's decision.
"Why do you only show up & root for black athletes?!? Racist much?" one fan posted on X.

Current WTA World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka did not need any more incentive to play well in the 2026 US Open semifinals. She is losing her ranking next week to Elena Rybakina and chasing a three-peat at this year's US Open.
Jessica Pegula seemed a bit off her game, despite going toe-to-toe with Sabalenka in the first set. Her demeanor was a bit flat, perhaps this was her game face. Little separated the two in the first set, but Sabalenka the excellent front runner ran away with it in the second set.

Some social media tennis fans speculated that Pegula was under the weather.
It was not what fans are used to seeing in her demeanor.

A surrogate who defied a California couple's demand to abort their baby after a devastating heart diagnosis is taking her fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing a lower court ruling has left her powerless to advocate for the medically fragile newborn.
Attorneys for Alaska cardiac nurse McKenna West filed an emergency application Wednesday, asking Justice Elena Kagan to temporarily block a Los Angeles court ruling that declared the California couple the baby's legal parents.
Kagan handles emergency matters arising from the 9th Circuit, which includes California. She has not ruled on the request.

All four of the top women's seeds are into the semi-finals of the US Open for the first time since the 1975 edition of the tournament.
All of two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka, new world No 1 Elena Rybakina, former finalist Jessica Pegula and 2023 winner Coco Gauff survived three-set thrillers to make the last four, with Kazakhstan's Rybakina usurping Sabalenka at the top of the world rankings as a result.
The men's tournament has stood in sharp contrast: top seed Alexander Zverev has now reached the semi-finals of all four grand slams this year, but many of the other big names crashed out early.
The shocks started in the first round as 23-time grand slam champion and fourth seed Novak Djokovic suffered his earliest exit at a major in 20 years, with third seed and last year's semi-finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime and 2024 runner-up Taylor Fritz falling in the third round.
Carlos Alcaraz made a fine run to the quarter-finals on his return from a nearly five-month injury layoff but lost to Ben Shelton in a deciding set tiebreak, with an American finalist guaranteed as the eighth seed faces Frances Tiafoe. The men's semis are completed by 2022 semi-finalist Karen Khachanov.

Selena Gomez wanted her wedding to Benny Blanco to feel personal rather than overly fancy. The couple married in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, in September 2025. Nearly a year later, Blanco has shared more details about the day. He explained how Gomez's childhood dream shaped their wedding plans.
Blanco discussed the wedding during the Sept. 8 episode of his Friends Keep Secrets podcast. He surprised guest Gwyneth Paltrow when he revealed that he and Gomez were married. The couple rented out a palm tree farm and turned it into their wedding venue, according to Blanco. He said they wanted to create something "unconventional" for the celebration.
Blanco explained that Gomez had dreamed about her wedding since she was a child. She also knew how she wanted her walk down the aisle to look. "She's like, 'I want to walk down the aisle, and I want the aisle to be, like, Persian rugs off centered. I don't want normal flowers. I don't want it to feel bougie." The couple worked hard on the celebration, Blanco said.
Blanco said the result felt special without becoming too formal. "So it was, like, incredible and you could tell we put so much effort into it, but also didn't feel, like, stuffy," he said. Paltrow responded to the story by saying, "I love that. That's so cool." The ceremony reflected Gomez's preference for an unusual and intimate celebration.
The wedding was officiated by Lil **** y, who also co-hosts Friends Keep Secrets. Blanco shared the wedding details while speaking with Paltrow. His comments highlighted how much thought Gomez put into making the day her own. The celebration gave her the unconventional wedding she had imagined since childhood.

Elena Rybakina is one win away from the world number one ranking, but the Kazakh star says her main goal in her US Open quarter-final clash with Zheng Qinwen on Wednesday is to advance toward a third Grand Slam ******* le.
"Number one ranking is, of course, one of the goals," Rybakina says. "But I think the main focus for me is to win the ******* les, and then the ranking will follow up."
Rybakina arrived at Flushing Meadows as one of four women with a chance to supplant Aryna Sabalenka atop the rankings, and the only one with her fate in her own hands. Reaching the semis will send her to the summit for the first time, and she could even get there if she loses -- if Sabalenka, world number three Jessica Pegula and fourth-ranked Coco Gauff all fail to lift the trophy.
Rybakina, who has shown no sign of the foot injury that hindered her US Open preparations, will be out to halt the remarkable run of Zheng -- the Paris Olympics gold medallist who had to come through qualifying thanks to a rankings plunge in the wake of elbow surgery last year.
Gauff, in the quarters for the first time since she won the US Open ******* le in 2023, will take on fifth-seeded French Open champion Mirra Andreeva for a place in the semis while men's top seed Alexander Zverev faces Dutch veteran Botic van de Zandschulp.

Naomi Osaka's search for a first Grand Slam **** le since 2021 will continue into 2027. The 28-year-old superstar crashed out of the US Open in the Round of 16.

One might expect the disappointment to be great in the face of such a loss. However, the **** anese star was fairly level in defeat, and opened up on why she is not as sad as some might expect.

Zheng Qinwen pulled off another US Open stunner Monday, beating Iga Swiatek to book a quarter final with Elena Rybakina as men's top seed Alexander Zverev advanced safely to the last eight.
It was one more gritty comeback for Zheng, the Paris Olympics gold medallist and a former world number four now ranked 121st after struggling in the wake of elbow surgery last year.
Zheng had won the last seven games, saving a match point, as she shocked Madison Keys in her previous match.
After falling behind 5-0 in the first set against six-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek she again reeled off seven straight games.
She then broke Swiatek twice in the second set to clinch the win.

A.B. Quintanilla, the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano Music" Selena, is responding to the statement released by his mother Marcella Quintanilla and sister Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga — a statement that said he was making "false accusations" about his family members and damaging their reputations.
"I don't lie," A.B. wrote in his latest statement shared on Wednesday (Sept. 2). "Suzette and her lawyers were notified with the corresponding documents via certified mail and electronic mail. She was notified of a lawsuit related to her fiduciary duties, that is, her legal obligations to act with loyalty, transparency and in the best interests of those she was responsible to."
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
He continued, "She responded, but did not provide what was being requested: contracts, documentation and financial information. Those fundamental requirements were left unanswered. What she did under the excuse of using my mom for convenience. She had no idea what was really happening around her and never had any participation in anything."
A.B. says that his lawyer will speak out on Friday (Sept. 4) where "many things will be made clear."
