Carrying a Torch for the Liberty
  + stars: | 2023-09-16 | by ( Amir Hamja | Monique Jaques | Sara Ziegler | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Liberty fans have waited 27 seasons for a W.N.B.A. The atmosphere at Barclays Center was electric for New York’s opening postseason game against the Washington Mystics. Those fans were rewarded with a Liberty win, 90-75, behind 29 points from Sabrina Ionescu and 20 from Jonquel Jones. The game started as a tense back-and-forth affair, but the Liberty took a narrow lead into halftime, and they never relinquished it. After the Liberty wrapped up the regular season with a 32-8 record, expectations were high that they could take the championship.

PinnedThe last time Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev met in a U.S. Open final, Medvedev ruined Djokovic’s ambitious plans for 2021. Djokovic was one title away from completing the calendar Grand Slam, having already won the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon that year. But Medvedev defeated Djokovic for the U.S. Open title in straight sets. There’s no calendar Grand Slam on the line this time, after Carlos Alcaraz defeated Djokovic over the summer at Wimbledon. Medvedev reached the final after upsetting Alcaraz in the semifinals, and Medvedev defeated Djokovic the last time they played, in March at a tournament in Dubai.

The Season’s Hottest Accessory: The Honey Deuce Cup
  + stars: | 2023-09-02 | by ( Sara Ziegler | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Sometimes it sits alone on a table at the U.S. Open or in the grip of a thirsty tennis fan. Often it is stacked, maybe in a pair, maybe in a precariously balanced tower. Everywhere you look is the familiar clear cup of the Honey Deuce. For a while, columns of Honey Deuce cups were all that Christine Dinisi saw when she opened her cupboard while looking for a water glass. The Honey Deuce, made of Grey Goose vodka, raspberry liqueur and lemonade, and garnished with honeydew melon in the shape of tennis balls, has been the signature cocktail of the U.S. Open since 2006.

What to Know About the 2023 W.N.B.A. Season

Griner played no basketball during her imprisonment and is still working to get back into game shape. The off-season was dominated by free-agent signings and trades that established what could be two superteams: the Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces. The Liberty made three key moves: First, they traded with the Connecticut Sun for Jonquel Jones, the league’s most valuable player in 2021. Then they landed one of the top free agents: Breanna Stewart, the 2018 M.V.P., who had won two championships in Seattle. Those three join the returnees Betnijah Laney and Sabrina Ionescu, who have each made an All-Star team.
