NEW YORK -- Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz are out of the mixed doubles tournament at the U.S. Open.
After winning their debut playing together, Williams and Alcaraz got knocked out in the mixed doubles quarterfinals by Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli in straight sets.
It was Williams' first match back at the Grand Slam tournament in New York since 2022 as she makes a return to tennis at age 44. Alcaraz had not played since April because of a right wrist injury. Now the question is whether Williams will play women's doubles alongside her older sister, Venus.
WNBA team bans Kanter
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Sky banned Enes Kanter Freedom from their home games after the former NBA center was ejected from Sunday's loss to the Indiana Fever.
Owner Michael Alter made the announcement in a rare news conference. Alter told reporters Freedom is not allowed inside of Wintrust Arena for Sky games "unless sometime in the future, he's able to prove to us that he's able to abide by our rules."
The 6-foot-10, 250-pound Freedom was removed from Sunday's game after he was confronted by Sky guard Natasha Cloud in the third quarter. Freedom was sitting along the baseline wearing a black shirt that read "WOMAN noun. adult human female."
