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.
