NEW YORK (AP) The Latest on the U.S. Open (all times local):

Bethanie Mattek-Sands is the first American to win the U.S. Open women's doubles championship since Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond in 2011.
No U.S. player had even reached the final since then, until Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic took the title Sunday.
During the final, which was played on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Mattek-Sands wore knee-high socks and a left wrist band with the same red-and-white-striped, star-spangled design she did while teaming with Jack Sock to win a gold medal in mixed doubles at the Rio Olympics last month.
During the trophy ceremony, Mattek-Sands choked up and her eyes filled with tears as she told the crowd: ''It's a special day today here for everybody in New York.''
