Steph Curry and Wife Ayesha Curry Turn Heads at US Open Final

During the US Open Tennis Championship final on September 7, 2024, between Jessica Pegula and Aryna Sabalenka, Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, was packed with a star-studded crowd. Among the notable attendees was Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, seated next to British Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton and U.S. Olympic gold medalist sprinter Noah Lyles. Actress Claire Danes, known for her roles in *Homeland* and *Romeo + Juliet*, was spotted with her husband, fellow actor Hugh Dancy. Rap legend Flavor Flav also made an appearance, as did tennis icon Billie Jean King, after whom the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is named.

ESPN’s cameras, however, quickly zoomed in on a more lighthearted moment when Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry and his wife, Ayesha Curry, were shown on-screen. The couple, who recently welcomed their fourth child in May 2024, were sitting together as they watched Pegula and Sabalenka compete. While Steph appeared engaged in a conversation with someone seated to his right, Ayesha was caught on camera indulging in a chicken finger. Her less-than-enthusiastic reaction to the taste sparked a wave of commentary on social media.

One fan took to X (formerly Twitter), writing, “@ayeshacurry hated whatever food they just served her. Caught in HD lmaooo.” Another user, reacting to a video clip of the moment on Threads, wrote, “I have been there so many times. They look so good and then you find out they are just bottom-of-the-barrel Sysco.” Yet another chimed in, “She was so excited for them. Then the disappointment hit.” Ayesha’s relatable reaction quickly became a viral moment, with many viewers laughing at the shared experience of expecting delicious stadium food, only to be let down.

Fans also commented on Steph Curry’s demeanor during the couple’s brief on-camera appearance. One viewer humorously noted, “Steph wants out of that convo so bad,” referencing his slightly distracted expression as he chatted while the cameras focused on the Currys. Despite the light-hearted moment, Steph, a four-time NBA champion, seemed to be enjoying the event overall. Pegula and Sabalenka were locked in a fierce battle for the Grand Slam title, providing plenty of excitement for the star-studded crowd.

Off the court, Curry’s own future has been making headlines. The two-time MVP recently signed a one-year extension with the Golden State Warriors worth a reported $62.6 million, ensuring he remains with the team through the 2026-27 NBA season. Even with his busy basketball career, Curry still found time to enjoy one of tennis’s most prestigious events with his wife by his side, making for a memorable moment both on and off the court.

As Pegula and Sabalenka competed for the title, the US Open not only showcased the top tier of women’s tennis but also highlighted the intersection of sports, pop culture, and celebrity, making it one of the most talked-about events of the season.
