Coco Gauff's ‘insane' reaction to frenzied ovation at Liberty vs. Sky game

The post Coco Gauff's 'insane' reaction to frenzied ovation at Liberty vs. Sky game appeared first on ClutchPoints. The stars were out in full force for Tuesday's WNBA Commissioner's Cup game between the New York Liberty and Chicago Sky in Brooklyn, with Coco Gauff, Lisa Leslie, Vanessa Bryant (and family) and Elliot Page among those sitting courtside. Advertisement Gauff, fresh off her French Open title, got a huge ovation from the adoring crowd. Gauff spoke to ESPN's Holly Rowe after the cool moment and expressed her surprise at just how much love she got. The American tennis star also revealed it was her first WNBA game. 'That was insane,' Coco Gauff admitted. 'I wasn't expecting everyone to stand up and it just feels so cool to come back to such a warm reception. And this is my first W game, so I'm really excited that I get to be here and support the Liberty.' Gauff also spoke about her love for basketball and her involvement with Unrivaled, which led to her wanting to make sure she got out to a WNBA game this season. This was the perfect time to do it after beating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, and the Barclays Center crowd made sure she knew she was supported. Advertisement Gauff sat next to the Bryant family, who had their own moment with stars Sabrina Ionescu and Angel Reese after the game. Ionescu shared a special relationship with Kobe Bryant, so this had to mean a lot. And as for the game itself, the defending champion Liberty continued their dominant start to the 2025 WNBA season. New York is now 9-0 on the year after smashing Chicago, 85-66. Ionescu poured in 23 points to lead the way for the Liberty, who became the ninth team in WNBA history to begin a season 9-0. With New York rampaging through the league once again, a fellow champion like Coco Gauff should definitely make it a point to make it to more games when she can.

NJ Gov Phil Murphy preparing for World Cup 1 year out: 'Most-watched event in human history'

JERSEY CITY, NJ – Wednesday marks exactly one year until the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in North America, and the party got started in the state where the final will be played. It's the first time since 1994 that the continent is playing host to the most popular sporting event in the world, and Phil Murphy's New Jersey will be the site of the final. MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford will host eight matches total, including five in the group stage and games in both the rounds of 32 and 16. In speaking to the media on Wednesday at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, the location of the official 2026 World Cup fan festival, Murphy predicted that the final at the home of the New York Giants and Jets will be "the most-watched event in human history." And for those in attendance, "the MetLife experience will be outstanding," said Murphy. "It will be secure and safe, easy to get in and out, great experience for the fans once they're in the stadium," Murphy continued. "This is what it's all about. A bunch of preparation, and now being able to show our vision and get the reaction we got, which was excitement, energy, interest. This is what it's all about," added Alex Lasry, CEO of the NYNJ Host Committee. "It's real. We're a year out, and to see the reaction from everyone of how much excitement there is for the World Cup makes us that much more excited." Liberty State Park is the home to tremendous views of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty while filled with greenery, making it the perfect spot for fans to gather. So, while Murphy will undoubtedly be at all eight World Cup games played at MetLife, there is a further responsibility to make sure that fans are entertained for the other 96 contests played in the other 15 host stadiums. "The fan fest, it's going to be beyond words. Twenty-two screens, capacity of 45,000. When we're not at MetLife, we'll be here watching. Those experiences are extraordinary. This will be no exception," Murphy added. "When you look at the ability for people to get here from New York and New Jersey, the iconic skyline and views from this, and then, when you're just thinking of where to put on the party, there's nowhere better," Lasry said. "It's a unique place to put on the most iconic fan fest that we're looking at. To be able to do that in New Jersey with the view of New York, it kind of brings together the partnership." The 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place in North America next year and will be featured on FOX Sports.
