For one last time at the 2026 US Open, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts convene to discuss Alexander Zverev's victory over Ben Shelton in the men's final. We start by analysing the match, including Zverev's excellent management of the occasion and perfect tactics, as well as Shelton's slow start and poor execution in key moments. There's also chat about Zverev's ball bouncing, whether we expected more from Shelton, and the bizarre moment where Zverev didn't even realise he'd won. We also discuss why Zverev, with two allegations of domestic abuse against him, both of which he denies, remains an uncomfortable champion for many people and why it feels important to keep talking about that. Then, in part two, we throw it forward to 2027. Has Zverev made enough strides to overcome Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner if and when they're back to full fitness? And where does Shelton fit into the landscape at the top of men's tennis?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.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to Elena Rybakina winning her first US Open title, beating Aryna Sabalenka to underline her new status as the best player in the world. Part one - We start by analysing the match and where it was won and lost, including Rybakina's remarkable first set despite serving at just 27% and the way she comprehensively outplayed Sabalenka in the decider. As for the big picture, we discuss Sabalenka's losing record in major finals, her frustration at the end of the match, Rybakina's feat to win this title so soon after an Achilles injury, and whether she can push on and win the Career Slam. Part two (41:50) - A round up of all the wheelchair, junior and doubles results from Saturday, including Alfie Hewett upsetting Tokito Oda and denying him a Calendar Slam in the men's wheelchair singles final. Part three (52:52) - Men's final preview and predictions. Will Alexander Zverev claim a second Grand Slam title? Or will Ben Shelton become the first American man to win a major since 2003? And what will be the keys to the match up?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.

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.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts convene at the end of women's semi-final night as Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina booked a final showdown with contrasting wins. Part one - We start by analysing Elena Rybakina's comeback victory over Coco Gauff. How did she gradually take charge of the match? What happened to Gauff's forehand? And how did Rybakina stay so calm and unaffected by the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd? Part two (16:31) - We discuss Sabalenka's incredible performance to defeat Jessica Pegula in straights. Is there anything Pegula could have done differently? How many more chances in Grand Slams will she have? And how is Sabalenka channelling her desperation to win this title into brilliant performances? Part three (32:36) - Men's semi-finals preview and predictions. Is Karen Khachanov the most dangerous opponent left in the draw for Alexander Zverev? Who will the crowd be cheering for and who will come through when American compatriots Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton face off in the night session?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.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to another day of US Open action, headlined by Elena Rybakina winning the match she needed to guarantee that she will be the new women's world number one on Monday. Part one - We cover two more compelling women's quarter-finals as Rybakina beat Zheng Qinwen and Coco Gauff saved a couple of match points to defeat Mirra Andreeva. In what way does Rybakina becoming world number one signal a new era for the WTA? Will this run be a catalyst for Zheng? What happened to Gauff's serve and forehand in the first two sets of her quarter-final? And how did she still manage to win the match? Part two (24:53) - The men's matches were far less interesting on Wednesday but we discuss Karen Khachanov reaching a third major semi-final after Alexander Blockx was forced to retire, and Alexander Zverev's straight sets win against Botic van de Zandschulp. What is going on with Zverev's ball bouncing? Will he pick up his form this tournament or not? And how much of an obstacle will Khachanov be for him in the semis?Part three (39:22) - Preview and predictions for the women's semi-finals. Can Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff set up an all-American final?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.

David Law and Matt Roberts are on site at the US Open to react to a quite extraordinary day of action which finished with Ben Shelton defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a deciding set tiebreak at 3:33am, guaranteeing an American's men's finalist on Sunday. Part one - We discuss the story of Shelton's crazy win over Alcaraz, the reasons why Alcaraz for once came up short in one of these epic matches, and why it was the best tennis we've ever seen Shelton play. Shelton will face fellow American Frances Tiafoe in the semi-finals after he won his own deciding set tiebreak over Alex Michelsen. Did Michelsen choke when he served for the match? How did Tiafoe turn it around? And what made the hug they shared at the end so beautiful? Part two (35:07) - We discuss why Aryna Sabalenka's victory over Linda Noskova - also in a final set tiebreak - could be exactly what she needed to find herself again and go on to win the title. In the semi-finals she will face Jessica Pegula after she came from a set down to beat Emma Navarro. We analyse that nervy match and discuss whether Pegula has it in her to topple Sabalenka. Part three (49:53) - A look ahead to Wednesday's schedule which will see Elena Rybakina become the World No.1 if she beats Zheng Qinwen.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.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts recap another day of US Open which was headlined by Zheng Qinwen once again coming back to win a set from 0-5 down, this time en route to knocking out Iga Swiatek. Part one - We discuss the extraordinary Zheng comeback, why it's so special to see her back in the latter stages of a Grand Slam, and her prospects in the next round against Elena Rybakina. The Kazakh is now just win one away from becoming World No.1 after a flawless display to defeat Naomi Osaka. How did Osaka and Swiatek process their defeats? We also chat about wins for both Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva who set up a quarter-final clash. Part two (37:25) - On the men's side, we cover Alexander Zverev finding form and avoiding another really late finish, five set wins for both Botic van de Zandschulp and Karen Khachanov, and a big injury concern for Alexander Blockx despite his victory. Part three (51:55) - Previewing and predicting Tuesday's quarter-finals. Can either Linda Noskova or Ben Shelton defeat Aryna Sabalenka or Carlos Alcaraz?

It was a strong day for the American men at Flushing Meadows as Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton and Alex Michelsen all booked their spots in the quarter-finals, but the performance of the day came from Carlos Alcaraz. Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts discuss it all. Part one - We start by analysing Alcaraz's win over Tommy Paul which saw him produce a phenomenal level. Does Alzaraz's form mean that David has changed his mind about what will happen when Alcaraz faces Shelton? We preview that match and discuss what, if anything, Shelton will have to do to win. There's also discussion of Tiafoe's amazing victory over Daniil Medvedev and the incredible scenes on the Louis Armstrong Stadium as Tiafoe maintained his 100% record on that court. Part two (37:21) - We discuss Aryna Sabalenka's straight-sets win over Taylor Townsend. Why was the match a bit disappointing? And did we learn much about Sabalenka ahead of her quarter-final against Linda Noskova? There's a review of Noskova's gripping win over Marta Kostyuk which saw her choke and win anyway once again. We also look ahead to Jessica Pegula vs Emma Navarro after both players won through. Part three (56:30) - A look ahead to Monday's order of play, which includes a surprising men's match on the Arthur Ashe Stadium as well as Zheng Qinwen vs Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka vs Elena Rybakina.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.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts gather at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre at the end of the fourth day of action at the US Open, which saw Carlos Alcaraz produce the best tennis of the men's tournament so far, and Aryna Sabalenka show signs of tension off the court, while winning serenely on it. Part One - We discuss Carlos Alcaraz's four set win over Jaime Faria. How is it possible that he's playing this well after 5 months on the sidelines with a wrist injury? Will he be able to keep it up when the draw throws tougher challenges his way? Meanwhile, Ben Shelton continues his bumpier progress through the draw and Frances Tiafoe gets a straight setter on the board, but 12th seed Rafael Jodar suffers a shocking defeat. Part Two (29:13) - Aryna Sabalenka was untroubled in her second round match on Arthur Ashe Stadium but she remains in combative mood in the press conference room. Elsewhere Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova notched up one sided victories, while Paula Badosa setup an intriguing second round clash with title favourite Coco Gauff. Part Three (47:44) - Hot off the press we dig into Carlos Alcaraz's press conference comments that he plans to take longer breaks in his schedule from now on, since the requirements of the ATP calendar are currently ‘impossible'. Will this finally shock the ATP into action? Plus a breakdown of Thursday's order of play and what to look out for on another jam packed schedule.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.

We react to Zverev's win over Lorenzo Sonego, including the dazzling tennis played at times by the Italian, the lateness of it all, and whether Zverev has played himself into form or not. Elsewhere, we cover Flavio Cobolli's first ever comeback from two sets down and a win for the incomparable Gael Monfils on his 40th birthday. Part two (28:51) - We discuss Coco Gauff's first round victory over Zeynep Sonmez and how it revealed the tough viewing experience for tennis fans inside the Arthur Ashe stadium at night.

Part two (20:24) - A round up of the day's other results and stories including comfortable wins for Jessica Pegula and Daniil Medvedev, defeat for Barbora Krejcikova, and a comeback win for Jaume Munar over Terence Atmane in a dramatic match which brought the rules over cramping into sharp focus.

After spending the day in the US Open press conference room, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to what the top players had to say as they prepare for the tournament. Part one - We discuss the way Carlos Alcaraz left us feeling positive about his return from injury, detailing that his wrist has felt fine in practice, that he's using his experience of being injured in 2024 to help him, and that he plans to play his usual game style. So what can we expect from him this tournament? There's also chat about how the other men's contenders - such as Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz - are largely playing down any talk of this being a big opportunity with Jannik Sinner not in the draw. What do we make of that? Part two (22:10) - On the women's side, defending champion Aryna Sabelenka has been struggling for form recently. In what way was she defensive about that in her press conference? And can we read anything into it?

What makes a court a court? Most people might answer something like this: there's a judge with legal training who makes a judgment, and if you don't follow their judgment, you get punished. David Law says, actually, none of that is required for a court. That's how the American courts work, but all over the world there are courts that operate very differently. And: The Upper Mattaponi tribe in Virginia has started operating its own courts. Chief Frank Adams explores what tribal justice looks like. Later in the show: Building a court system is difficult under any circumstances. In communities that have suffered intense violent conflicts–like Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, or Kosovo after the war of the 1990s–creating a court system is both essential and particularly fraught. Christie Warren has worked all over the world as a facilitator helping post-conflict zones design legal and justice systems.

When you think of the voice of tennis who do you think of? There are some great commentators / co-commentators out there from David Law to Annabel Croft but for me personally there is only one answer. I think of Russell Fuller.When it comes to experiencing big tennis events and immersing myself in to them - my go to is not the TV it is most definitely the radio.Russell Fuller is the BBC Tennis Correspondent and many of you will know his commentaries from Wimbledon and the other big tournaments.Tennis Journeys take all sorts of different pathways. All sorts of different destinations. They can't all lead to Wimbledon glory. But so many to lead to incredible adventures.
