Amid the New York Liberty's incredible regular season run, Sabrina Ionescu had a day off at the US Open with her husband, Hroniss Grasu. The two were present to see Frances Tiafoe play, and on Tuesday, September 3, they were seen enthusiastically applauding for the American.

Sabrina Ionescu was observed with Grasu beside her, wearing a dark blue jacket. As the game went on, the two became more and more expressive. Ionescu and the Liberty had the best overall record in the league going into the 2024 WNBA playoffs, finishing the season with a 27-6 record.

They were the first team in the league to do so. They have a strong 14-2 home record and have been the side to beat this season. After losing out on the title to Las Vegas Aces the previous year, they are among the favourites to win it this time.

Watch here the video:

New York scores 7.1 more points per game on average (85.9) than Seattle (78.8). This season, Seattle has made 5.8 3-pointers on average per game, 1.0 fewer than the 6.8 shots per game that New York allows. This season's third meeting between the clubs will take place. New York Liberty prevailed 98-85 in the last encounter on August 31. Diggins-Smith led the Storm with 26 points, while Stewart led the Liberty with 32.

Frances Tiafoe will be the first American if he goes into the US Open final

Sabrina Ionescu's average for this season is 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. The guard is making 34. per cent of his long shots and 41.4% of his field goals. Next up for her is a two-game series against the Seattle Storm, then a big game against the Las Vegas Aces.

This will also be the first time an American man has been in a Grand Slam final since Andy Roddick defeated Roger Federer at the 2006 US Open, with Tiafoe or Fritz guaranteed a spot in the championship match. In the opening set, Fritz defeated Alexander Zverev, the fourth seed.
