The soon-to-be-retiring Williams, a six-time winner at Flushing Meadows, won for only the second time (singles) this year. It was the 40-year-old’s first win at a Major since her third-round win at Roland Garros last year. In front of a record sold-out night session crowd of 29,402 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Williams, playing the final tournament of her career, made a nervy start.

USAG backtracked its decision Tuesday, saying Nyman’s “employment will not continue due to a conflict of interest," though the organization didn’t reveal any other details. The move comes as the federation is still recovering from the aftereffects of the sexual assault scandal involving former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar.

While he was involved in a few ‘moments’ during the first 45, he looked like a tall, quick Sunday league footballer running around trying to make an impact. In only the second minute, the sprinter was presented a golden chance to use his speed when a defensive slip up allowed him to be one-on-one with the Macarthur South West United goalkeeper.

“I’m hoping it’s in front of me,” Pulisic replied. And so it was. It was there, but it was not to be. In the third minute against the Netherlands, the No. 8 team in the world, Pulisic moved into the open along the left side of the box and had a clear opportunity to score the first goal of the Qatar 2022 Round of 16. He fired as he closed on goalkeeper Andries Noppert, and everything that followed Saturday at Khalifa International Stadium would have been so much different had Noppert not gotten his leg in place to deflect Pulisic’s shot wide....
