    What's happened since New York?

    What's happened since the US Open? The answer is quite a lot. Catherine, David and Matt catch up on all the Davis Cup results which saw Carlos Alcaraz thrive, Great Britain lose, and lots of frustration about scheduling as the sport reaches breaking point. There's also Rafael Nadal's withdrawal from Laver Cup and what that might mean, a first WTA title for both Sonay Kartal and Magdalena Frech, and Naomi Osaka's split with Wim Fissette and rumoured partnership with Patrick Mouratoglou.

    US Open Day 13 - Sabalenka slays New York demons in classic final

    Aryna Sabalenka is a US Open champion at last. After a series of near misses in New York, she faced down her demons and beat Jessica Pegula 7-5 7-5 in a brilliant final on Saturday. Catherine, David and Matt discuss where the match was won and lost and what the result means for both players.  There’s also an existential best of three versus best of five debate, a round up of the other doubles and junior results at the US Open, reporting on the final day of tennis at the Paralympics, a discussion about Nick Kyrgios’ tweeting, and a preview of Sunday's men's final.

    US Open Day 12 - Puke, Nerves, Agony, Ecstasy, Puke

    Men's semi-finals day was mostly about how nerves affected Jack Draper and Frances Tiafoe. For the American, it manifested in a physical fade and loss of form at the crucial moment, for the Brit it manifested in puke. Lots of it. Catherine, David and Matt analyse both matches and look ahead to the final between Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz.

    US Open Day 9 - Sabalenka sizzles; Fritz, Tiafoe to clash for final place

    It was an incredible day for the Americans at the US Open with Emma Navarro, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe all reaching the semi-finals of the singles, while Taylor Townsend and Donald Young also made it through to the mixed doubles final. Catherine, David and Matt cover it all, including Paula Badosa's collapse from 5-1 up in the second set, an awesome performance from Aryna Sabalenka in the night session, how Zheng Qinwen was affected by her late finish, Alexander Zverev's tendency to get passive in big matches, Grigor Dimitrov's devastating injury, and how the crowd will respond to Frances Tiafoe vs Taylor Fritz in the first all-American men's semi-final in a Grand Slam since 2005.
