	Description:		The U.S. Open crowned its winners this weekend.

Guest: Wesley Morris, a critic at large for The New York Times and co-host of Times podcast “Still Processing.” Background reading: At the U.S. Open, Serena Williams laughed, rocked sparkly shoes, rang the bell at the stock exchange, beat two opponents, teared up and said goodbye.
