Evian Toasts the U.S. Open With Cruise Hosted by Maria Sharapova

Even a thunderstorm couldn’t stop the S.S. Evian on Sunday as clouds cleared just hours before the boat left port. The water company teamed up with Circle Line Cruises to launch New York’s first floating tennis court in celebration of the U.S. Open final.

Passengers watched Novak Djokovic’s winning match as they enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and lobster rolls amid Evian pink regalia. Tennis legend Maria Sharapova hosted the cruise, partaking in a fireside chat with fellow pro Andrea Petkovic before setting sail. Sharapova gave props to U.S. Open champion Coco Gauff, who won her first Grand Slam tournament on Saturday.
