NEW YORK -- Records were set, tears were shed, celebrities were spotted and ... Maria Sharapova lost on Labor Day here in Flushing Meadows.
Sharapova fell to Carla Suarez Navarro, who celebrated her 30th birthday with one of the biggest wins of her career.
It was a nice turnaround for Suarez Navarro, who has not always fared well on her birthday. Five years ago, she was double-bageled by Serena Williams, and last year she fell to Venus Williams.
Suarez Navarro won the match 6-4, 6-3 with actors Aziz Ansari, Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas and former president Bill Clinton cheering from the stands.
