US Open Day 7 - Gauff’s double trouble; Record late finish is nothing to celebrate

Episode 1286

Monday, September 2, 2024 • Duration 01:00:30

Defending champion Coco Gauff is out of the US Open after hitting 19 double faults in a three set loss to Emma Navarro.

In part one of the pod, we discuss the match and ponder what’s next for Gauff as she looks to rebuild her game.

In part two, we cover the latest ever finish to a women’s match at the US Open as Zheng Qinwen beat Donna Vekic at 2.15am. Catherine, David and Matt were all in the stadium and there’s reaction to Zheng’s phenomenal performance as well as the absurdity of the situation.

Elsewhere, there’s chat about Grigor Dimitrov’s up and down win over Andrey Rublev, a preview of Taylor Fritz vs Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals, analysis of France’s Tiafoe’s performance in a good win over Alexei Popyrin, and praise for Paula Badosa and Aryna Sabalenka as they charge through the draw.

Sinner’s title and positive test bombshell - our reaction

Episode 1276

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 • Duration 01:19:55

It had already been a dramatic week in tennis but the sport was rocked on Tuesday when news came out that Jannik Sinner had twice tested positive for a banned substance in March. The world number one has been cleared of any wrongdoing and won't serve a suspension, but lots of questions remain. Catherine, David and Matt react to it all, detail the player reaction so far, and discuss what it means for Sinner, the sport, and the anti-doping process in tennis.

Elsewhere, there's chat about Sinner's title run in Cincinnati, all the controversy surrounding the end of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Draper, Aryna Sabalenka's awesome performances in Cincinnati, tough losses for Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz, and how it all sets up the US Open.

Or was it just an accident and everyone should leave him alone?That and all of the other Davis Cup ties are covered, as is a big win for Kiki Mladenovic, and the Fed Cup is previewed.Plus, David gives the inside track on what Rafael Nadal did next after his Australian Open final defeat (they shared a plane).
