Jimmy and Brett are back from NYC and the US Open and are ready to discuss everything they saw on finals weekend. Joined by traveling buddy and friend of the show Spencer Segura, they break it all down. Zverev gets his second major of the summer and has quickly changed his career narrative from the best to not win one, to a first ballot hall of famer. Ben Shelton had a great two week run, beating quality opponents at every round along the way. He just ran into a better player in the final in Zverev. Ben is getting closer to being the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick in 2003, what can he do to improve? Elena Rybakina was supposed to be hurt coming into Flushing Meadows. But boy did she play some amazing tennis to take home the trophy and become the newest member of the #1 club. Aryna Sabalenka looked good getting to the US Open finals, but just ran into a player who was player better and was more focused. Maybe this will be a good wake up call for her to try and regain her place at the top of the WTA tour. Leave us a 5 start review and share us with a friend!

I picked Ben Shelton. I was wrong. Alexander Zverev beat him 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 to win the 2026 US OPEN — his second Grand Slam title, and another year where American men's wait goes on. Full post-match analysis and an honest look at what I got wrong.Zverev was ruthless from the start. He took the opening set 6-3, then won the tiebreak 7-2 to move two sets clear, and even when Shelton found a way back to take the third 7-5 on Arthur Ashe with the crowd roaring, the German simply reset and closed it out 6-2. It's the completion of a redemption arc six years in the making: Zverev was a US Open finalist in 2020, when he led Dominic Thiem by two sets and lost.It caps the best season of his career. He broke through at ROLAND-GARROS this year for his first major, reached the WIMBLEDON FINAL, and made at least the semifinals at ALL FOUR Grand Slams in 2026. He was elevated to top seed here after Jannik Sinner withdrew with a knee injury, and he justified it without ever really being troubled.For Ben Shelton, it's the end of an extraordinary fortnight that still ends in heartbreak. He dethroned defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(10-7) in a five-set classic that finished at 3:33 A.M. — the latest finish in US Open history — then beat Frances Tiafoe in an all-American semifinal to become the first American man in a Grand Slam final since ANDY RODDICK IN 2003, and the first Black American man in a US Open final since ARTHUR ASHE IN 1972. The drought he was trying to end now stretches to 23 YEARS.And the head-to-head held: Zverev is now 6-0 against Shelton, having taken 13 of the 15 sets they have played. That was the thing I underweighted in my prediction, and I explain exactly why in this video.In this video: set-by-set breakdown, the tiebreak that decided it, where Shelton's third-set revival came from and why it didn't hold, what I got wrong in my preview, and what comes next for both players.

Andy Roddick breaks down Elena Rybakina's three-set win over Aryna Sabalenka to capture the 2026 US Open title and her third Grand Slam.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts discuss Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev reaching the men's final at the US Open and look ahead to Aryna Sabalenka vs Elena Rybakina in the women's. Part one - We react to Shelton's electric night session win over fellow American Frances Tiafoe, the clear improvements in Shelton's backhand, and how he's carrying the mantle well of trying to be the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick in 2003. Plus, what does the future hold for Tiafoe? Part two (20:01) - We cover Zverev's straight-sets victory against Karen Khachanov which saw him win only three more points in the match, but all the crucial ones in the two tiebreaks. What did Khachanov have to say about Zverev's ball bouncing and how much of a feature will that be on Sunday? Why is Zverev not playing with authority like he did at Wimbledon? And will Shelton be able to step up against him in the final? Part three (39:26) - We discuss Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend completing the the Career Grand Slam together before giving our women's final preview and predictions. Why do we think Sabalenka will have the edge?Thank you to Steve Furgal's International Tennis Tours Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast, the Premium Hospitality and Experience provider for supporting our US Open coverage.They can organise your dream tennis-watching experience at the biggest tournaments in the world, inducing the WTA Finals held this year at Indian Wells, 8th-15th November.Just go to Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast and use the code DEUCE5 at checkout for 5% off.5% off select WTA Finals packages with code DEUCE5 at tours4tennis.com/podcast.

Für Zverev ist es das erste US Open Finale. Für Shelton das erste Grand Slam Finale überhaupt. Zudem bekommt Shelton die Chance, als erster US-Amerikaner seit Andy Roddick im Jahr 2003 einen Grand Slam-Titel zu gewinnen. Zverev konnte sich am New Yorker Nachmittag gegen Karen Khachanov durchsetzen. Es war eine enge Partie, obwohl Zverev in drei Sätzen gewann.

Ben Shelton s'est imposé face à Frances Tiafoe en demi-finale et défiera donc le vainqueur de Roland Garros, Alexander Zverev. L'Américain se donne pour mission de remporter le premier titre en Grand Chelem pour les USA depuis Andy Roddick en 2003. De son côté Zverev se hisse de nouveau en finale pour la 3e fois consécutive en Grand Chelem, ce que très peu de tennismen ont été capables de faire.

Six ans après le traumatisme de sa finale perdue à New York, Zverev peut définitivement tourner la page et décrocher un deuxième titre du Grand Chelem. Face à lui, Shelton porte l'espoir de tout un pays : aucun Américain n'a remporté l'US Open depuis Andy Roddick en 2003. Mais le défi est immense puisque Shelton n'a encore jamais battu Zverev, dont le jeu possède plusieurs armes particulièrement efficaces face aux gauchers. Dans cette preview, on décrypte les clés tactiques de cette finale, les rapports de force entre les deux joueurs et tout ce qui pourrait faire basculer le match. #Shelton #USOpen #Zverev ⸻

Alexander Zverev vs Ben Shelton — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the 2026 US OPEN FINAL on Arthur Ashe Stadium. An American man is one match from ending a 23-year wait, against an opponent who has never lost to him.Ben Shelton is the story of the tournament. The eighth seed reached his FIRST GRAND SLAM FINAL by beating Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 in an all-American semifinal — and he got there the hardest way imaginable, dethroning defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(10-7) in a five-set classic that finished at 3:33 A.M., the latest finish in US Open history. He is the FIRST AMERICAN MAN IN A GRAND SLAM FINAL SINCE ANDY RODDICK IN 2003, the first Black American man in a US Open final since ARTHUR ASHE IN 1972, and the first in any major final since MaliVai Washington at Wimbledon in 1996. He's had a career-best season: four titles in Dallas, Munich, Stuttgart and Montreal, and a 39-13 record.Alexander Zverev has finally become the player everyone expected. The top seed broke through at ROLAND-GARROS this year for his first major, then reached the WIMBLEDON FINAL, and has now made at least the semifinals at ALL FOUR Grand Slams in 2026. This is his SIXTH major final and his third in a row. He beat Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7-6(7), 7-6(6) to get here, and he was a US Open finalist back in 2020, when he led Dominic Thiem by two sets and lost.And here's the brutal part for American hopes: ZVEREV IS 5-0 AGAINST SHELTON. Four of those five wins came in straight sets, and he has taken 10 of the 11 sets they've played — Shelton's only set came in their very first meeting in Cincinnati. They have never met at a Grand Slam.Pedigree against momentum. Experience against a crowd that will be deafening. Who wins the last major of 2026?

We were wrong about Alcaraz. All three of us said he was gone before the semis. Ben Shelton just proved him wrong—beat him in five on court. And then there was Tiafoe and Mickelson: five hours, a comeback, and an embrace at the net where Mickelson lost it and Tiafoe became his shoulder to cry on.Shelton vs Alcaraz: two different sports. Mickelson and Tiafoe: five sets, a comeback, and an unscripted embrace that made everyone in the stadium forget the score.The semifinal bracket: one American guaranteed. Could be two. Coco or Sabalenka on the women's side, and everybody's rooting for the American.Match scheduling debate: why night matches run to 2am, why you can't move them earlier, and whether a best-of-four would fix tennis without breaking what makes tennis special.Nike's nipplegate. Alcaraz's jersey had a gap. The fishnets are "street walker chic." And why nobody is happy with the way anybody dresses anymore.Influencers watching the US Open on their phones while sitting court-side. Finance bros in Ashe. Wimbledon said no more creator credentials ever.Andy Roddick on commentary: he's gotten good. Really good.

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the ALL-AMERICAN SEMIFINAL at the 2026 US Open. Whoever wins makes history, and an American man is guaranteed a place in the final for the first time in over two decades.The stakes here are extraordinary. The winner of this match becomes the FIRST BLACK AMERICAN MAN TO REACH A US OPEN FINAL SINCE ARTHUR ASHE IN 1972 — and the first to reach ANY Grand Slam final since 1996. It also guarantees an American men's finalist at Flushing Meadows for the first time since Andy Roddick in 2003, the last year an American man won this title.Ben Shelton arrives off the match of the tournament. The eighth seed dethroned defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(10-7) in a four-hour-28-minute classic that finished at 3:33 A.M. — the LATEST FINISH IN US OPEN HISTORY — ending Alcaraz's 18-match Grand Slam winning streak. He came into New York as the Montreal Masters 1000 champion after a career-best season with titles in Dallas, Munich and Stuttgart.Frances Tiafoe produced a comeback of his own. The 11th seed trailed fellow American Alex Michelsen by TWO SETS AND A BREAK before completing the biggest Grand Slam comeback of his career, 5-7, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6(10-6) across nearly five hours. New York is where Tiafoe has always played his best tennis — this is familiar territory for him.Shelton leads the head-to-head 3-1, but at the US Open specifically they are level at 1-1: Shelton won their 2023 quarterfinal on the way to the semifinals, Tiafoe won a five-setter in 2024. Both men are running on fumes after marathon quarterfinals. Whoever recovers better probably wins.

Jason and Rachel review The Dink on Apple TV, a pickleball comedy that somehow seems to hate pickleball. We get into why the movie isn't very funny, why the pickleball makes no sense, why the cast deserved better, how Andy Roddick and John McEnroe are wasted, why the “dink off” ending is painful, and how a Hallmark movie called Pickleball Christmas somehow did this premise better. Plus: spoon mics in a backyard, Jake Johnson, Ed Harris, Mary Steenburgen, Ben Stiller's gross doctor scene, fake pickleball extras, grunting, May-December weirdness, and the eternal question: who is this movie actually for?
