ESPN and other Disney channels disappeared from Charter's Spectrum cable service on Aug. 31, as contract negotiations reached an impasse. Disney announced this spring that Monday Night Football games would be carried on both ESPN and its ABC Network. That means Spectrum cable subscribers who live in markets with a local ABC TV affiliate not owned by Disney, including Buffalo, New York, will be able to watch Monday's NFL match-up broadcast. Some 25 million cable subscribers have cut the cord, industry-wide, over the last five years, as rising prices for content translate to higher fees for subscribers, contributing to the exodus. Disney, for its part, announced a discount for its Hulu + Live TV service, which will provide access to the U.S. Open, college football and NFL games.

Coco Gauff won her first career grand slam Saturday with a dramatic 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open women's singles final. At 19, Gauff is the first American teenager to win the US Open since 23-time major champion Serena Williams took the title in 1999. "I feel like I'm in shock at this moment," said an emotional Gauff after her win. "God puts you through tribulations and trials, and that makes this moment sweeter than I would have imagined."

Some deal makers wonder whether tennis, which has already confirmed initial talks with Saudi Arabia, will be the fund’s next target. “Of all the important sports around the world, I think tennis is clearly the one with the greatest opportunity for financial growth and the most unrealized value,” Maria Sharapova, the retired tennis star, told DealBook. Despite the popularity of tennis, the sport brings in only 1.3 percent of earnings from global media sports rights. That’s partly because tennis is made up of myriad entities — including the Women’s Tennis Association; the U.S. Tennis Association; and independent tournaments. The independently operated organizations make scheduling tournaments difficult and diminish bargaining power for sponsorship and media deals.

The first thing Coco Gauff did after leaving the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium with her first Grand Slam trophy in hand, was don a sponsor’s T-shirt proclaiming her as a champion. Gauff has been in the glaring lights of fame since she was a 15-year-old playing into the fourth-round at Wimbledon, but after winning the U.S. Open singles title on Saturday, those lights could become blinding and the fame distracting. Additional endorsement offers will pour in — commercial shoots, appearance opportunities, business projects, investment offers and invitations to A-list social events will pile up in the near and long term future. “I’m ready,” Gauff said after she beat Aryna Sabalenka, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. I know how to keep my peace, but also embrace all of this around me.”

The U.S. Open women’s singles final is set: Coco Gauff, the 19-year-old American, will play Aryna Sabalenka, the No. Gauff has already played in a Grand Slam final in 2022, when she lost the French Open to Iga Swiatek. Sabalenka, 25, will also be playing in a U.S. Open final for the first time after reaching the semifinals of the tournament in 2021 and 2022.

Before the semifinals, Sabalenka had sailed through the tournament, winning her first five matches without dropping a set.

Stacey Allaster, United States Tennis Association (USTA) Chief Executive Professional Tennis, told ESPN the disturbance involved three climate protesters. "Three of the four protesters were escorted out of the stadium without further incident," said the USTA statement. As players looked into the stands, security flooded into the section around where protesters were shouting.

3 seeds, Ram and Salisbury also won the 2020 Australian Open. But this title may have been just as unexpected after they rebounded from a difficult year to win the final major of the circuit. They had won only one previous tournament this year, the Lyon Open in France in May, and were 4-6 in their last 10 matches coming into the U.S. Open. But none of those duos were able to string together three straight at the U.S. Open, the last major of the calendar year. In the men’s singles, three Americans made it to the final eight, and Ben Shelton reached a semifinal, where he lost to No.

NEW YORK (AP) — Way down and almost out, Aryna Sabalenka just kept reminding herself the match wasn't over until the final point. Sabalenka refocused after a premature victory celebration to wrap up a 0-6, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (10-5) victory over Madison Keys on Thursday night and reach her first U.S. Open final. “Then, from the second set, it just got a lot closer. “I think everyone at the start of the tournament would obviously be really, really excited to be in the semis,” Keys said, breaking into tears. But I just think being able to take this and turn it to a positive is really possible.”___AP tennis coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis

The US Open ends Sunday with the men’s final, which StubHub said is the best-selling match for the whole two-week tournament. It’s not just ticket prices that are through the roof — so are sales of the beloved signature cocktail of the tournament.

But those really looking to level up take a different approach: watching anime. Or at least that’s what the 19-year-old American tennis sensation Coco Gauff does. Gauff, who qualified for her first U.S. Open singles final on Thursday night by defeating Karolina Muchova, said that her postmatch plans would include watching anime. In particular, Gauff said, she’s a fan of “My Hero Academia.” When asked how she would be spending the rest of her evening, Gauff responded: “Press. Izuku Midoriya, a young superhero fanboy, is one of the rare “quirkless” individuals, though he still dreams of somehow becoming the top hero.

It would end two tie-breaks later with the Belarusian walking off court into her second Grand Slam final of the season. Soaking up the energy of the home crowd, the 17th seed unleashed a barrage of winners and broke Sabalenka three times to open the match 6-0. Keys broke the Australian Open champion for a fourth time for a 2-1 lead in the second, leaving a frustrated Sabalenka screaming and smashing her racquet. But with Keys serving for a place in the final the Sabalenka who players fear finally appeared. For Keys, who played in the last all-American women's final in 2017, losing to Sloane Stephens, is was a missed opportunity to return to her home final that left her in tears.

They grow up fast these days, and none faster than Coco Gauff. In September, she is a U.S. Open finalist, the star attraction of her home Grand Slam tournament and the new face of her sport in America. Gauff, the 19-year-old prodigy from steamy South Florida, beat Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic, 6-4, 7-5, to reach her first U.S. Open singles final on a warm and heavy Thursday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Muchova’s all-court game and the strangest of atmospherics tested her as never before, but in the end the night went her way in front a crowd that exploded for her over and over along the way. “Some of those points were so loud I don’t know if my ears are going to be OK,” she said in her on-court interview.

CNN —Thursday’s US Open women’s semifinal between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova was halted in the second set after what appeared to be protesters in the crowd disrupted play in New York. Charles Krupa/APGauff and Muchova had left the court during the pause, then returned and play eventually resumed after more than a 45-minute delay. Four protesters were involved, and three of them “were escorted out of the stadium without further incident,” according to a statement from the US Tennis Association on Thursday night. USTA executive Stacey Allaster told the ESPN broadcast: “There’s no doubt in a 24,000-seat stadium, hopefully, people don’t get ideas. Certainly, security will be resuming – along with NYPD – to see what we can do to prevent it in the future.”

Angela Weiss/AFP/Getty Images“I think that’s just part of life and just part of learning. Among the things that helped the most with that process, Gauff said, was putting her life “into perspective” when she started to feel overwhelmed. “That’s real pressure, that’s real hardship, that’s real life. Gauff has expertly handled the pressure during her US Open run. “So that’s the reason why, I think it’s just putting my life in perspective and realizing how grateful and blessed I am.”

Not when match point after match point went by the wayside. Gauff, a 19-year-old from Florida, reached her first final at Flushing Meadows by defeating Muchova 6-4, 7-5 on what was anything but an ordinary evening. When action resumed, the play was pretty even for several games, until Gauff surged ahead and got her first match point. — Gauff deserved credit for finding the right times to let Muchova miss as opposed to trying to get too aggressive. “You have to be focused and finish points," Muchova said about the challenge that facing Gauff presents.
