Townsend walked in with a version of the tournament’s signature drink in her hand, saying it was “for the media.” She smiled and said, “First question.”
The top-ranked pair of Townsend and Katerina Siniakova reached the women’s doubles final before losing to Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe.
Asked to give their thoughts on the Grand Slam, Townsend asked Siniakova, “You want to go first?" and said she wouldn't take much longer with the vodka-based drink. Later, she ate the honeydew melon balls the Honey Deuce is known for.
“Long three weeks, but I’ve really enjoyed it,” said Townsend, who added she learned a lot on this trip to Flushing Meadows and was proud of she and Siniakova getting the second-place plate instead of the women's doubles trophy.
“I’m probably going to do charcuterie board on this trophy,” Townsend said. “That would be pretty cool, right, to be served charcuterie on a U.S. Open platter? Subtle flex.”
