The American SetTennis Crowns Its Newest Champion, and the Talk at Dinner Turns to Kazakhstan
Elena Rybakina has won her first U.S. Open, becoming the first player from Kazakhstan ever to take the singles title at Flushing Meadows. It is the kind of final result that will be discussed over dinner tables from the North End to Worth Avenue long after the last of the season's houseguests have gone home, the sort of one-name headline that needs no further explanation among people who follow the majors closely. A new name now sits atop the record book.
With reporting from Town & Country.
