The Arthur Ashe Stadium glowed light blue from dusk until dawn as the US Open marked the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
American flags were flown at half-mast as New York remembered the 2,977 people who died when hijackers crashed passenger jets into the Twin Towers in Manhattan on that day in 2001.
That year's US Open had concluded just two days earlier, with Lleyton Hewitt winning the men's singles **** le.
American player James Blake had lost in the second round that year and was in Augusta, Georgia, on Tuesday, 11 September.
But the New York-born future world number four says the day "shattered the guise of safety" felt by Americans and many professional tennis players.

Pete Davidson has spoken about losing his father on September 11 for much of his adult life, sometimes seriously and sometimes through comedy. Becoming a father himself has changed the way he understands what happened.
Davidson was seven when his father, New York City firefighter Scott Matthew Davidson, died while responding to the World Trade Center attacks. "I thought, 'Oh, he was an old guy. He's 33,'" Davidson told the New York Post. "But now I'm there, and I have a kid, and that would be like my kid not having her dad."
Davidson is 32 and turns 33 in November, putting him close to the age his father was when he died. His daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, was born in December 2025 and was named after the grandfather she will never meet.
That combination made the 25th anniversary especially difficult. Davidson said this year felt "way harder" than it had in a long time, but also "extra beautiful" because he would spend September 11 with Scottie. "It'll be very healing and special," he said.
Scott Davidson was 33 when he died and had been an FDNY firefighter since 1994. He worked with Ladder Company 118 in Brooklyn Heights and responded after the second hijacked plane struck the World Trade Center. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation remembers him as a father who coached Pete in football and baseball, watched daughter Casey's dance recitals and frequently called firefighting "the greatest job in America."

Pete Davidson is spending the 25th anniversary of his father Scott Davidson's death on 9/11 as a father himself for the first time.
The Saturday Night Live alum, 32, spoke about his dad's death to the New York Post in an interview published on Tuesday, September 8. According to the outlet, he's still figuring out how to one day talk about the New York City firefighter's death with his daughter, Scottie, who he and ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt welcomed into the world in December.
"Luckily, I have some time," the comedian told the publication. "Honestly, this year is way harder than it's been in a really long time because I have Scottie, and now I'm the age that my dad was when he died. So I'm just kind of like, 'Holy [expletive].'"

However, Pete is looking forward to sharing more about his father with his child, noting, "I have old videos and pictures and stuff, and I'm excited to share the classic stories I have of him with her."

NEW YORK (AP) — Alexander Zverev rallied just in time to avoid becoming the first men's No. 1 seed to lose in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament since 2003, edging Lorenzo Sonego 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-5, 6-4 in a match that ended Wednesday morning.
Zverev won his first major **** le at the French Open, lost to top-ranked Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final, then became the No. 1 seed in a major for the first time when Sinner had to withdraw with a right knee injury.
He couldn't cash in on repeated chances to break Sonego's serve for much of the night and was in danger of becoming the first top-seeded man to fall in his first match in a major since Ivo Karlovic beat Lleyton Hewitt at Wimbledon in 2003.
It hasn't happened at the U.S. Open since Stefan Edberg lost to Alexander Volkov in 1990. Zverev finally broke through against Sonego's serve late to pull out the match in 4 hours, 52 minutes.
Zverev is 7-0 against Sonego, an Italian who came in 1-9 against top-10 men in Grand Slams. But Sonego's speed around the court allowed him to track down **** that on other nights would have been winners, and he came up with enough clutch serves to make Zverev just 5 for 22 on break points for the match.

Today, women's football is a real sports phenomenon, followed by millions of fans worldwide, but it hasn't always been the case. It all started on the 7th of May 1881, when the first recorded ladies' football match took place in Edinburgh between England and Scotland. Come the 1890s, women's club football gathered momentum. Local women's football clubs were being formed (some by women factory workers) with the aim of competing in matches and competitions.
In 1895, Alfred Hewitt Smith and Nettie J Honeyball formed the BLFC (British Ladies Football Club). The president of the club was Lady Florence Dixie, a celebrated Scottish author, who ruled that lady players should wear practical clothing, including shin pads, football boots, and bloomers.
During WW1, with many of the menfolk called up for National Service, women were increasingly being employed in factories, many of which were dark and dingy. Sport was a way of offering women workers the opportunity to improve the standards of their health and wellbeing, to boost morale and increase levels of productivity.
Unlike modern ladies, they didn't have the opportunity to go online and check websites telling them about all possible ways of entertainment. Today, players can visit expert reviewers of, say, legal Polish casinos and choose the place to spend time with a favorite game. Back then, workers, whether men or women, chose among what was offered by employers.
Football was a popular choice, and in 1917, munitions factories created the Munitionettes' Cup, the final of which saw Blyth Spartans Munitionettes defeat Bolckow, Vaughan & Co 5-0. On December 5th, 1921, the FA banned women's football.

Pete Davidson seems to have found a new love interest three months after his split from Elsie Hewitt.
On Monday night, the comedian was spotted in Brooklyn with Love Thy Nader star Sarah Jane Nader. In a video obtained by Deuxmoi, the two appeared to be walking very close to one another before Pete, dressed in an oversized blue t-shirt and sweatpants, opened his car's passenger door for the reality star, who was wearing a white corset top and a pair of heels.
Their outing comes just months after Pete and Elsie called it quits a little over a year after they began dating.

Their relationship issues allegedly began after the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose, who was born in December 2025. Pete was reportedly being pulled in different directions, with an insider saying his work schedule started to come between his time with Elsie and Scottie. Just days before the news broke, Pete was in Los Angeles filming The Roast of Kevin Hart, skipping out on Mother's Day with his family.

Following their split, comedian Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt have reached a joint parenting agreement for their 7-month-old daughter, Scottie.
"We are cooperatively coparenting our daughter whose well-being remains our top priority, and we are fully committed to working together to give her love from both of us," a joint statement from the couple, shared by their representatives with USA TODAY on Aug. 2, stated.
Page Six was first to report the news.
The statement comes more than two months after Hewitt, 30, opened up about her motherhood experience when she responded to paparazzi photos showing her on a walk with her daughter in a May 16 TikTok video.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm exhausted, OK? I should've left the house looking nicer yesterday. I should've known that that was going to happen," she said. "But that's not what I'm thinking about right now, because I have a baby to take care of. And I also have to work and make money, and I'm doing it on my own, which is hard."

David Ornstein broke the news for The Athletic on Saturday that Everton have reached an agreement in principle to sign Christian Norgaard from ******* nal for a fee in the region of £7m.
Ornstein reports that if the deal is formalised, Norgaard will undergo a medical next week and become Everton's fourth signing of the summer.
Norgaard joined ******* nal last July for £10m, plus £2m in add-ons, signing a two-year deal with the option of a third. So a £7m sale isn't bad business, for a player who is now a year older and technically in the final 12 months of his contract.

Defending champion Alex de Minaur powered into the Washington Open quarter-finals with a clinical 6-2, 6-3 victory over fellow Australian Cruz Hewitt.
Women's top seed Jessica Pegula also advanced, rallying to beat Magdalena Frech 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 while men's second seed Ben Shelton outlasted Ugo Humbert 6-7 (3/7), 6-3, 6-4.
Top-seeded De Minaur was always likely to prove too much for 17-year-old qualifier Hewitt -- son of Aussie great Lleyton Hewitt -- who had only captured his first ATP victory in Tuesday's first round.
The first set threatened to become a demolition as De Minaur raced to a 5-0 lead.
But Hewitt found his feet, breaking back in the sixth game and holding serve before succumbing 6-2.

Lady Diana Spencer and then-Prince (now King) Charles' 1981 wedding was nothing short of a spectacle. One that, even today, remains among the most talked-about weddings of all time.
The pair first met in 1977, when she was 16 and he was 29. In 1980, the Prince of Wales began courting the nursery school ****** istant, and by February 1981, Charles had proposed and the two were headed down the aisle.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles wed in an extravagant ceremony held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on July 29, 1981. With Diana being the first British woman to marry an heir to the throne in 300 years, the palace spared no expense, declaring the special day a public holiday and doling out a jaw-dropping $48 million, according to Smithsonian magazine.
About 3,500 people attended the ceremony, while more than 600,000 people lined the streets and 7.5 million more tuned in at home to watch the nuptials.
The pair welcomed sons William and Harry in 1982 and 1984, but the former Prince and Princess of Wales' marriage was famously tumultuous. In his authorized biography, The Prince of Wales, published in 1994, Charles confirmed he began his affair with former flame Camilla Parker Bowles in 1986. Ex-army Major James Hewitt also claimed to have begun an affair with Diana around this time, which he said lasted for the next five years.

Cruz Hewitt - the 17-year-old son of former world number one Lleyton Hewitt – earned his first ATP victory in his main singles draw debut.
The Australian beat fellow qualifier Marcos Giron of the United States 6-3 6-4 in 74 minutes.

WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said that the U.S. would take out Pickaxe Mountain in Iran, as he warned that Washington would continue to hit the country hard.
"We're going to take out Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ready," Trump said in an interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show.
"We're watching (Pickaxe Mountain) closely. We see no activity there. They're not doing well with their nuclear situation. Every time we hear about it, we blow it up. So they don't like talking about it. But we'll probably give Pickaxe a shot relatively soon," Trump said.
Pickaxe Mountain, located near Iran's heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is a heavily fortified site that hosts two deeply buried tunnel complexes that experts ******* s as beyond the reach of the most powerful bunker buster bombs in the U.S. ******* nal.
Trump earlier on Monday said the United States was reinstating its blockade of Iranian shipping in the Gulf and would ensure the Strait of Hormuz stays open — for a fee — after the two sides exchanged more missile and drone attacks.

Cruz also had a chance that many wish for, to hit with Roger Federer, when he was only a young boy.
Australian tennis players once dominated Wimbledon with the likes of Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, John Newcombe, and Ken Rosewall. That heyday concluded in the mid 1970s.

Earlier this week, Real Madrid announced the signing of Spain international defender Marc Cucurella from Chelsea. The 27-year-old will move to the Bernabeu later this summer, but first, he will be focused on achieving success with Spain at this summer's World Cup.
News of Cucurella's move to Real Madrid dominated the Spanish camp in the 24 hours before La Roja's goalless draw against Cape Verde on Monday. However, Barcelona's Gavi has admitted that no one in the squad knew about the deal until mere hours before it was confirmed by the Bernabeu club, as he told RAC1.
"We found out (Cucurella was joining Real Madrid) the day before, after training. We didn't expect it and **** ody knew, the b****** kept it very quiet. Lamine has been teasing him a bit, because now he will be the one to defend him in the Clasicos. But I like him as a rival. He's tough and intense. He's a good signing for Real Madrid, I'm happy for him."

That battle between Cucurella and Lamine Yamal is one that many El Clasico viewers will have a vested interest in ahead of next season's matches. The 18-year-old Barcelona winger was shut down by Alvaro Carreras in the first meeting between the sides during the 2025-26 campaign, and the new left-back has every chance of doing similar, given that he kept him quiet when Chelsea defeated in the Catalans in the Champions League last November.
