Serena, who hosted the award show, was joined by Venus and Quinta on stage for a special segment celebrating this year's rise in popularity of women's sports, thanks in part to Clark.

Last week, Fed officials suggested that they would make
just one cut to their benchmark interest rate in 2024,
down from previous projections of three cuts for the year.
