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!

The link is in the show notes. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Member of the American Diabetes Association… are now boycotting it. The notice of the boycott condemns leadership's actions after five researchers were removed by police from its annual meeting in June. Significantly, The editors of ADA's flagship journal, Diabetes Care, have joined on in support of the boycott. "Manuscripts submitted will not be handled until the boycott is over," said Steven Kahn, MBChB, the journal's editor in chief and one of the five researchers ejected from the meeting in New Orleans, in a LinkedIn post on Thursday. Kahn told MedPage Today that "the journal boycott is like establishing a picket line. The boycott already has hundreds of signatures of people who have pledged to suspend all ADA-related activities, including: Planning or attending any meetings led by ADA leadership or the board, including the 2027 ADA Scientific Sessions Participating in board-led activities regarding the investigation of the meeting's events, or the report generated by the "so-called 'independent' committee" Engaging in all other ADA operations, including presentations, fundraisers, grant reviews, manuscript reviews, journal management, manuscript submissions, and position statements The boycott will remain active until the ADA board of directors permits an independent formal review of the organization's structure and function to ensure it "properly represent[s] its professional membership." If demands are not met, signees plan to align with existing or newly formed medical societies. https://www.medpagetoday.com/endocrinology/diabetes/122977 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4h548X9qXgkVREQ71k2gDHiU8WFAFF78wTnmS20_ntwUM0w/viewform XX A new patch pump is coming to the US.. Beta Bionics, Inc. announces FDA clearance of Mint, the Company's patch pump featuring a transformative reusable and disposable architecture that does not require recharging, integrates with industry-leading continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and enables smartphone control for iOS and Android users. The Company expects to initiate the full commercial launch of Mint in the United States in the first quarter of 2027 Mint is expected to launch exclusively through the pharmacy channel. Also announced, that Eversense 365 is now compatible with Beta Bionics Senseonics expects development of the Eversense 365-iLet integration to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2026. Commercial launch is planned following completion of integration activities in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to required testing, validation activities and applicable regulatory requirements. No word yet on timing for Eversense with Mint. https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/09/14/tmt-newswire/globenewswire/beta-bionics-announces-fda-clearance-of-mint-the-companys-transformative-patch-pump-and-unveils-3d-intelligence-as-its-next-generation-insulin-dosing-algorithm/2424457 XX Seven years after Johns Hopkins researchers discovered a previously unknown immune cell called the "X cell," they're now exploring whether that discovery could lead to a new treatment for type 1 diabetes. In preclinical studies, researchers developed an antibody that was able to target and eliminate specific immune cells responsible for attacking the pancreas's insulin-producing beta cells, while leaving the rest of the immune system intact. The researchers say the approach is especially promising because it could potentially reverse the autoimmune process soon after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis, rather than simply managing blood sugar. The work is still in the early stages and has not yet been tested in people; additional laboratory and preclinical studies are needed before human clinical trials can begin. sclerosis.https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/09/09/federal-funds-support-type-1-diabetes-treatment/ XX A new international consensus recommends routine screening for type 1 diabetes in the general population, offering the first framework for how healthcare providers could put widespread screening into practice. The guidance recommends screening children between ages 2 and 4, with children who test negative screened again at ages 6–8 and 10–15. Screening uses a blood test to look for islet autoantibodies, which can signal that the immune system is attacking insulin-producing cells years before symptoms appear or insulin is needed. Finding type 1 diabetes early can greatly reduce the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, at diagnosis and may give people access to treatments such as teplizumab that can delay progression to clinical T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-convened-paper-outlines-first-international-consensus-guidance-on-general-population-screening-for-early-stage-type-1-diabetes-302875788.html   XX Eating only between noon and 8 p.m. improved blood sugar control in a small study of adults with Type 1 diabetes and obesity, while avoiding an increase in serious complications. The promising findings offer the first evidence that time restricted eating could become another tool for managing the condition. For the study, Varady recruited adults with Type 1 diabetes who were also classified as obese After six months, the time-restricted eating group showed better blood sugar results than the calorie-reduction group. HbA1c, a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over the previous several months, fell by about 0.5% on average in the time-restricted group.   Couple of things here – very small study, only 32 people in total, who were then randomly placed in three groups with different styles of eating. Also, the lead researcher says this is the first study of it's kind for type 1 – which is obviously not true – you can do a quick google search or listen to past episodes of this show.. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260909231740.htm XX A large Danish study found that COVID-19 infection was associated with a slightly lower, rather than higher, risk of subsequently developing type 1 diabetes in people under age 30. Researchers studied more than 2,100 people diagnosed with T1D and found an overall 16% lower risk following a documented COVID infection, with the strongest association—a 42% reduction—seen 31 to 180 days after infection. The reduced risk appeared primarily among people who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, although researchers cautioned that the vaccination findings were less certain. Importantly, this was an observational study, so it cannot show that COVID infection actually protects against type 1 diabetes or explain what caused the association. Researchers say the findings conflict with some earlier studies and should be investigated in other countries and populations. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260908/COVID-19-linked-to-lower-subsequent-risk-of-type-1-diabetes.aspx   XX   Semaglutide, a medication widely used for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, may also provide an unexpected benefit for people with asthma. New research presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Barcelona, Spain, found that semaglutide use was associated with a reduction in asthma attacks of nearly 40%.   The study was led by Professor Chloe Bloom, Clinical Associate Professor in Respiratory Epidemiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London, UK, and presented by Dr. Bohee Lee.       Exploring GLP 1 Drugs and Lung Health   Dr. Bloom said: "GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. Previous research suggests that they may have anti-inflammatory effects and may improve lung-related outcomes. However, asthma and COPD outcomes have not been included as outcomes in GLP-1 drug trials.   "We wanted to use real-world health records to investigate whether people with asthma or COPD who started GLP-1 receptor agonists had fewer acute respiratory attacks."   To investigate that question, the researchers analyzed electronic medical records from the UK. They carried out four parallel studies, each involving between 20,000 and 22,000 people who had started treatment with either a GLP-1 medication or a different type of diabetes drug known as a sulfonylurea.   The results suggested that people with airway diseases such as asthma and COPD who received GLP-1 therapies experienced fewer asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups than comparable patients who were prescribed other diabetes medications.   Semaglutide Showed the Strongest Effect   Among the GLP-1 drugs examined, semaglutide appeared to stand out, particularly for people with asthma.   Bloom explains: "The effect was strongest with semaglutide, especially in people with asthma, where use of semaglutide appears to be associated with nearly a 40% reduction in asthma attacks. Semaglutide also led to a 20% reduction in COPD flare-ups."   The findings suggest that people who already qualify for GLP-1 receptor agonists because they have obesity or type 2 diabetes could potentially receive an additional benefit for their respiratory health.   However, Bloom emphasized that the results are not enough to recommend these medications specifically as treatments for asthma or COPD.   She explains: "The findings from this study are encouraging, but they should not change treatment decisions on their own. People with asthma or COPD should not start GLP-1 receptor agonists specifically for their lung condition outside current prescribing guidance. While the findings suggest that some people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists may experience fewer respiratory attacks, this needs confirmation in clinical trials." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260909005155.htm XX XX A large study suggests women with endometriosis may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed health records from nearly 3 million women in Utah and found those diagnosed with endometriosis were 46% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those without the condition. The association was strongest among women who had not yet reached menopause and those without obesity, a group typically considered at lower risk for type 2 diabetes. Certain forms of endometriosis, including those found outside the pelvic area, were associated with more than twice the risk. Researchers say more study is needed, but the findings suggest endometriosis may have health effects beyond the reproductive system and could eventually help identify women who may benefit from earlier diabetes screening. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/endometriosis-may-increase-type-2-diabetes-risk   XX MiniMed files FDA submission for it's first patch pump, with a planned launch next summer. To be called MiniMed fit, it would have a 300-unit insulin reservoir and would accommodate up to seven days of wear time. MiniMed also completed enrollment of a pivotal trial for a fully closed loop algorithm, which would calculate the amount of insulin a person needs throughout the day, even if they don't announce meals or count carbohydrates. Interestingly, on an investor call, the CEO acknowledged that CGMs have been their – quote – Achilles' heel for a very long time" and that their newest sensor has helped drive insulin pump growth. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/minimed-submits-new-patch-pump-for-fda-clearance/829313/ XX A new study based on national health registers in Denmark suggests starting statin treatment after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis could lower the risk of dementia, and it seems that the sooner patients did, the better. The research, published in The Lancet Regional Health, is an observational study, meaning it can find statistically relevant patterns at the population level, but doesn't necessarily explain what caused those patterns. The results, however, were interesting enough that the researchers, led by medical doctor Tummas Ternhamar of the Copenhagen University Hospital, are urging doctors to consider statin therapy when diagnosing type 2 diabetes patients. "Statins seem to be underused in patients with type 2 diabetes, despite their protective effects against cardiovascular disease." https://www.sciencealert.com/statins-linked-to-lower-dementia-risk-in-massive-type-2-diabetes-study XX Big sports news with type 1. Alezander Zverev wins Family was at the heart of Alexander Zverev's U.S. Open triumph on Sunday as the German saluted the members of his inner circle and paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother for refusing to let diabetes define his future. The ​top seed beat American Ben Shelton 6-3 7-6(2) 5-7 6-2 at Flushing Meadows to finish a spectacular year at ‌the Grand Slams in which he proved his doubters wrong by going from perennial nearly man to two-time major champion. Shortly after his victory, Zverev reserved special praise for his mother Irina, a former professional tennis player, and credited her with ensuring type 1 diabetes never limited his ambitions in life. "When your 4-year-old son is diagnosed with diabetes and doctors in the office ​tell you that life and sports will be very limited for that child, it takes a very strong mother to ​say 'my son will be whatever he wants to be'," Zverev said. "'If he wants to be a tennis player, ⁠he'll be a tennis player. If he wants to do something else, he'll do something else, but this illness will not define us'. https://www.reuters.com/sports/tennis/zverev-hails-mothers-belief-after-us-open-triumph-2026-09-13/ XX Also, shout out to Garrett Mitchell (Center field  Milwaukee Brewers) lives with Type 1 Diabetes and hit a grand slam immediately after having a failed insulin pump site. He was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 9. And I have a T1d mom friend who's known him since he was a kid. Just great to see athletes talking about failed insulin sets like they're just part of everyday life.. because they are. Btw it was the first grand slam for the brewers all year. XX The new Netflix movie The Runner is getting a bit of a side eye from some in the diabetes community… the Gal Gadot thriller features a child with type 1 but as usual, there are some weird inaccuracies. Ginger Vieria from Diabetes nerd has a great vide on this – I'll link it up: but they're saying things like Insulin Dispenser instead of pump.. and some other weird stuff.. but I've heard such bad things about this movie I'm not sure it's worth watching just for this. Ginger's video is though! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o8cw_gEZj5s

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.

Elena Rybakina has beaten Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to win the 2026 US OPEN — denying the two-time defending champion a place in history and claiming her first title at Flushing Meadows. Full post-match analysis and reaction.Sabalenka was chasing a THREE-PEAT. A third consecutive US Open title would have made her the first woman to do it since SERENA WILLIAMS in 2012-14, and would have brought a fifth career major and a 20th straight win at this tournament. She had survived Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova 7-6(1), 3-6, 7-6(7) in the quarterfinals and dismantled Jessica Pegula in the semifinal to get here.Rybakina had taken the hardest route in the draw and kept finding answers. She overpowered Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4, ended qualifier Zheng Qinwen's extraordinary run 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, then came from a set down to beat Coco Gauff 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals. In the final she did it again — taking the opener, losing a tight second as Sabalenka forced her way back, and then running away with the decider 6-2.It's her THIRD major title and her FIRST US Open. And it continues a pattern that is becoming the defining rivalry in women's tennis: Rybakina has now beaten Sabalenka in BOTH 2026 GRAND SLAM FINALS they have contested, after winning the Australian Open final in January, and also took the 2025 WTA Finals title match against her. Sabalenka's answer this season was the Sunshine Double, beating Rybakina in both the Indian Wells and Miami finals. Sabalenka still leads the overall head-to-head, but Rybakina now leads their Grand Slam finals 2-1.On the rankings: Rybakina moves to World No. 1 on Monday with Sabalenka dropping to No. 2 — but that was already mathematically confirmed before this match was played. The title doesn't change the ranking. It does mean she arrives at No. 1 as the reigning Australian Open AND US Open champion.In this video: how the match was won set by set, where the second set slipped and how Rybakina reset, the serving and return numbers that decided it, what it means for Sabalenka, and where this rivalry stands going into the rest of the season.

Jeu, set et match à Flushing Meadows ! Le quatrième et dernier Grand Chelem de la saison referme ses portes ce dimanche 13 septembre 2026. Juste avant la finale, Mondial Sports revient sur l'édition 2026 de ce tournoi d'exception et en profite pour faire un premier bilan de la saison ! Pas de Carlos Alcaraz et encore moins de Jannik Sinner en finale : à l'instar du dernier Roland-Garros, l'édition 2026 de l'US Open n'aura pas épargné les deux ténors du circuit ! Vainqueur l'an passé (2025), l'Espagnol s'est incliné dès les quarts de finale face à l'Américain Ben Shelton. L'Italien, de son côté, n'aura pas pu surfer sur son succès à Wimbledon en juillet 2026. Blessé, il a purement et simplement dû déclarer forfait avant les premiers échanges new- yorkais.   L'année de Zverev ? L'occasion pour Alexander Zverev de remporter un deuxième Grand Chelem cette année (2026) et un deuxième Grand Chelem en carrière ? L'Allemand, par ailleurs, visé par des accusations de violences conjugales, a déjà profité des malheurs d'Alcaraz et de Sinner pour s'imposer à Paris au printemps dernier (2026) et ainsi rompre avec sa réputation d'éternel perdant.   Quid de la France ? Quant à la France, avec un seul représentant en huitièmes de finale et aucun à partir des quarts, elle n'aura pas franchement brillé à Flushing Meadows. Le succès retentissant d'Arthur Fils à Cincinnati fin août 2026, juste avant l'US Open, paraît bien loin !   Mondial Sports monte au filet ce dimanche avec : - Pauline Payet, joueuse française professionnelle - Christophe Bernelle, médecin psychiatre et ancien joueur - Stéphane Houdet, champion français de tennis fauteuil.   Le son sera disponible dans la page à partir du dimanche 13 septembre 2026 19h05.

Alexander Zverev hat erneut ein Grand-Slam-Finale erreicht und unterstreicht damit nach wackeligem Start in New York seine neue Klasse. Doch Henrike und Daniel hätten sich auch Gründen jedoch lieber Frances Tiafoe als Endspielgegner gewünscht. Auch die Damenkonkurrenz wusste in Flushing Meadows zu überzeugen, denn die Weltspitze kann erneut bei einem Major überzeugen. Die Folge endet mit einem kleinen Quiz zu Tim Pütz, der bereits auch schon Grand-Slam-Champion ist. Aber wann und wo und vor allem mit wem?

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?

Aryna Sabalenka vs Elena Rybakina — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the 2026 US OPEN FINAL on Arthur Ashe Stadium. A rematch of the Australian Open final, a piece of Serena Williams history on the line, and a No. 1 ranking that has already changed hands.Aryna Sabalenka is chasing something nobody has done in over a decade. The two-time defending champion is bidding to become the FIRST WOMAN TO WIN THREE STRAIGHT US OPEN TITLES SINCE SERENA WILLIAMS in 2012-14. Victory would give her a FIFTH career major and a 20TH CONSECUTIVE WIN at this tournament. She survived Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova 7-6(1), 3-6, 7-6(7) in the quarterfinals, then demolished Jessica Pegula in the semifinal to get here.Elena Rybakina is already the new World No. 1 — she takes over the top ranking on Monday regardless of what happens on Saturday, with Sabalenka dropping to No. 2. The reigning Australian Open champion has taken the hard road all fortnight: past Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4, past qualifier Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, and then a comeback win over Coco Gauff 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals. A second major of 2026 is one match away.The rivalry is one of the best in the sport. Sabalenka leads 10-7 overall, but the biggest matches have gone Rybakina's way lately — she won the 2025 WTA FINALS title match AND the 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN FINAL, both against Sabalenka. Sabalenka answered by beating her in the Indian Wells AND Miami finals to sweep the Sunshine Double.This is their THIRD Grand Slam final against each other, and they have split the first two.

The top seed — elevated after World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew with a knee injury — won ROLAND-GARROS this season for his FIRST GRAND SLAM TITLE, becoming the first player other than Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz to win a major since 2024. In New York he has barely been troubled, cruising past Botic van de Zandschulp 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 in the quarterfinals on Arthur Ashe. He was a US Open finalist back in 2020, where he led by two sets before losing to Dominic Thiem. This is his chance to finish the job.Karen Khachanov is chasing the final that has always eluded him. This is only his THIRD Grand Slam semifinal — after the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open, losing both — and his first since. He reached the last four here when Alexander Blockx retired in their quarterfinal at 6-2, 7-5, 3-2. At 30, with one of the heaviest forehands on tour, he is bidding for a maiden major final.The head-to-head favours the German: Zverev leads 6-3 across nine meetings, and 5-3 in the eight played on hard courts. But Khachanov's three wins in the rivalry have ALL come on hard courts, and he beat Zverev en route to the Toronto final in their recent history. He knows how to hurt him.With Alcaraz and Djokovic both out, this half has opened completely. Whoever wins here is one match from a major title.

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.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the SEMIFINAL of the 2026 US Open. The third consecutive year these two have met in the second week at Flushing Meadows, and Pegula is still looking for the answer.Aryna Sabalenka is chasing history. The World No. 1, top seed and TWO-TIME DEFENDING CHAMPION is into the US Open semifinals for a SIXTH STRAIGHT YEAR, still hunting a third consecutive title and her first major of 2026. She was pushed to the brink to get here, surviving Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova 7-6(1), 3-6, 7-6(7) in a quarterfinal that went to a deciding tiebreak, after earlier beating Taylor Townsend in straight sets.Jessica Pegula is chasing something she has never had: a first Grand Slam title. The third seed leads the ENTIRE WTA TOUR with 34 hard-court wins this season and has 50 match wins overall in 2026, with titles in Dubai and Charleston, a run to the DC Open final in Washington and the Cincinnati final. She came through an all-American quarterfinal against Emma Navarro 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.But New York keeps ending the same way. Sabalenka beat her in the 2024 US OPEN FINAL and again in last year's SEMIFINAL — and leads the overall head-to-head 9-4. Pegula has never beaten her at this tournament.The encouraging news for the American: the recent form has flipped. Pegula has won two of their last three meetings, including 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-0 in the Berlin semifinals this season. She has the tools. She has never had them work here.

Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the SEMIFINAL of the 2026 US Open. The new World No. 1 against the 2023 champion, in a final four that hasn't happened at this tournament in 51 YEARS.Elena Rybakina arrives with the biggest news of the fortnight already secured: she WILL BECOME WORLD NO. 1 after this tournament, replacing Aryna Sabalenka, after edging Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. The reigning Australian Open champion had to come from a set down to end the qualifier's extraordinary run, and it caps a stretch in which she has beaten Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 and won 42 of her last 50 hard-court matches. She is the form player on this surface, full stop.Coco Gauff is one match from a second US Open final, and she just survived the scare of her tournament. Having not dropped a set through four rounds, the fourth seed found herself a set and two MATCH POINTS down against 2026 Roland-Garros champion Mirra Andreeva before rallying to win 2-6, 7-6(7), 6-2 — extending her perfect head-to-head over Andreeva to 6-0. She came into New York as the Cincinnati Open champion, exactly as she did in 2023 before winning her maiden Grand Slam in this building.The head-to-head is dead level at 1-1 — and the last meeting was recent. In the Toronto semifinals on August 13, Rybakina lost the opening set and then took control, winning 5-7, 6-2, 6-2.For context on how strong this final four is: this is the FIRST TIME SINCE 1975 that all top four seeds have reached the US Open women's semifinals, with Sabalenka facing Jessica Pegula in the other half.

Elena Rybakina vs Zheng Qinwen — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 US Open. The World No. 1 ranking on one side, the most improbable run of the tournament on the other.Elena Rybakina is one win from the top of the game. The second seed and reigning Australian Open champion is GUARANTEED TO REPLACE ARYNA SABALENKA AS WORLD NO. 1 if she reaches the semifinals here. She has been overwhelming all fortnight and produced her best performance yet in the round of 16, overpowering Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 in a rematch of their Toronto quarterfinal. Add the Canadian Open final and 42 wins in her last 50 hard-court matches, and she is the form player on this surface.Zheng Qinwen's run is one of the stories of the year. The Paris 2024 Olympic gold medallist and former World No. 4 fell to No. 121 after elbow surgery and had to come through QUALIFYING just to reach this main draw. She is now the FIRST QUALIFIER TO REACH THE US OPEN LAST EIGHT SINCE EMMA RADUCANU WON THE TITLE IN 2021 — and she has done it the hard way. Twice. She erased a 5-0 deficit and saved match point to beat Madison Keys 1-6, 7-6(3), 7-5, then fell 5-0 down AGAIN against Iga Swiatek before reeling off SEVEN STRAIGHT GAMES to win 7-5, 6-3 — against an opponent who led their head-to-head 7-1.That single previous loss for Swiatek? The Paris 2024 Olympic semifinal, where Zheng also came from behind. This is what she does.An eight-match winning streak and nothing to lose against the most powerful player in the draw with the No. 1 ranking on the line. Who reaches the semifinals?

Coco Gauff vs Mirra Andreeva — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 US Open. A reigning French Open champion who has NEVER beaten her opponent, against a home favourite who has not dropped a set all tournament.Coco Gauff is back in the last eight in New York for the first time since her title run in 2023 — and the parallels keep stacking up. The fourth seed arrived as the Cincinnati Open champion, her first title of 2026 and her second in that building, exactly as she did before winning her maiden Grand Slam here three years ago. She has been flawless since: NOT A SET DROPPED in four matches, closing with a clinical 6-1, 6-4 win over 14th seed Iva Jovic in 80 minutes.Mirra Andreeva is into her first US OPEN QUARTERFINAL, and she has had to work for it. The fifth seed and 2026 ROLAND-GARROS CHAMPION — the youngest women's champion in Paris since Monica Seles in 1992 — has been tested repeatedly, most recently surviving Anastasia Potapova 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 after dropping the opening set. At 19, with a major already won and a title in Linz plus a Madrid final this season, she is a genuine threat on any surface.Except, apparently, against Gauff. The American leads the head-to-head 5-0 across five meetings, most recently 6-4, 7-6(5) in the Rome quarterfinals in 2025. Andreeva has never solved her. "It'll come down to who holds up better in the big moments," Gauff said.Fresh legs against three-set grinding, a perfect record against a Grand Slam champion. Who reaches the semifinals?

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.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Ben Shelton — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the biggest QUARTERFINAL of the 2026 US Open. The defending champion's 18-match Grand Slam winning streak against the biggest American hope in two decades.Carlos Alcaraz has gone from rusty to ruthless. Having not played competitive singles since a wrist injury at the Barcelona Open in mid-April, the second seed has needed only a set to warm up — after dropping the opener to Jaime Faria, he has been close to untouchable, dismantling Wu Yibing 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 and then handling Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to extend his personal-best GRAND SLAM WIN STREAK TO 18 MATCHES. At 23, he is chasing something no man has done since Roger Federer's five straight from 2004 to 2008: defending the US Open.Ben Shelton has never looked more ready. The No. 8 seed came into New York as the Montreal Masters 1000 champion, off a career-best season with three titles on three surfaces in Dallas, Munich and Stuttgart. He survived a 2:07 A.M. finish against Denis Shapovalov, then delivered his best performance of the fortnight, blowing away the resurgent Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. A win here would be the signature victory of his career — and he is chasing something bigger: no American man has won the US Open since ANDY RODDICK IN 2003.The problem is the head-to-head. Alcaraz leads 3-0 — Toronto 2023, the Laver Cup in 2024, and the Roland-Garros fourth round in 2025, where he won 7-6(8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Shelton has taken a set, but never the match.Two of the biggest serves and biggest personalities in the sport, on Arthur Ashe, with a New York crowd fully behind the American. This is the match of the tournament.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Linda Noskova — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 US Open. The two-time defending champion against the reigning Wimbledon champion, with a piece of history on the line.Aryna Sabalenka is the World No. 1, the top seed, and TWO-TIME DEFENDING CHAMPION chasing a historic third straight US Open title — and her first major of 2026. She has been imperious in New York, extending her winning streak at this tournament and coming through American Taylor Townsend in straight sets in the round of 16 after earlier wins over Camila Osorio and Kamilla Rakhimova. Her projected semifinal is Jessica Pegula.Linda Noskova is chasing something nobody has done in seven years. The Czech won WIMBLEDON this season, and a title here would make her the FIRST PLAYER TO WIN BACK-TO-BACK MAJORS SINCE NAOMI OSAKA at the 2019 Australian Open. Seeded sixth, she has been tested and keeps finding answers — she needed three sets and SIX MATCH POINTS to finally put away Marta Kostyuk 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 in the fourth round, after earlier wins over Katie Volynets and Thailand's Lanlana Tararudee.But the head-to-head is a problem. Sabalenka leads 2-0, both on hard courts, and both were comfortable: 6-3, 7-6(4) in the 2023 Adelaide final, and 6-3, 6-4 in the Indian Wells semifinal earlier this year on her way to that title. Noskova has never taken a set off her.Power against power, a defending champion against a first-time Slam winner still learning what she's capable of. Who reaches the semifinals?

Iga Swiatek vs Zheng Qinwen — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their FOURTH ROUND clash at the 2026 US Open. A six-time Grand Slam champion against an Olympic gold medallist who had to QUALIFY just to get here. One of the great comeback stories of the year.Iga Swiatek is seeded eighth, unusually low for her, after an erratic season — though she found form to win the Canadian Open in Toronto, beating Elina Svitolina and reaching the final. In New York she has been grinding rather than gliding: she needed two tiebreaks to get past 25th seed Marie Bouzkova 7-6(3), 7-6(3), dominating both breakers to reach the last 16. The 2022 US Open champion is chasing a second title here, and her section has been the toughest in the draw all fortnight.Zheng Qinwen's story is remarkable. The Paris 2024 Olympic gold medallist and former World No. 4 fell to No. 121 after elbow surgery and a year of stop-start rehab — she had to come through QUALIFYING just to reach this main draw. Now she's on a SIX-MATCH WINNING STREAK and back in the US Open round of 16 for the first time in two years, after producing the comeback of the tournament: from 5-0 DOWN in the deciding set and SAVING MATCH POINT against 22nd seed Madison Keys, she won the final SEVEN GAMES to take it 1-6, 7-6(3), 7-5.Two months ago Zheng lost to Alexandra Eala in the first round in Washington. This is a completely different player. Swiatek is the heavy favourite on paper — but nobody in this draw has more momentum or less to lose.

Elena Rybakina vs Naomi Osaka — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their FOURTH ROUND clash at the 2026 US Open. A Toronto rematch just four weeks on, with a quarterfinal and the World No. 1 ranking both in play.Elena Rybakina is the second seed, the reigning Australian Open champion, and she is INCHING CLOSER TO WORLD NO. 1 with every round in New York. She has been efficient all week, coming through American wild card Thea Frodin and then Yuliia Starodubtseva 7-6, 6-3 to reach the last 16. She is also the form hard-court player on tour, and she is the reigning Canadian Open finalist — she went on from beating Osaka in Toronto to make the final there.Naomi Osaka looks like her old self. The four-time Grand Slam champion — a two-time US Open winner — has been building all summer: a run to the DC Open semifinals in Washington, a quarterfinal in Toronto, and now her deepest New York run in years. She beat Hailey Baptiste, then Daria Kasatkina to reach a Grand Slam round of 16 for the first time since 2021, and survived a genuine test against 23rd seed Elise Mertens 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in 2 hours and 38 minutes, squandering three match points before closing it out.And this is the rematch. Just four weeks ago in the Toronto quarterfinals — their FIRST EVER meeting — Osaka won the opening set before Rybakina came back to take it 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 across 2 hours and 33 minutes, firing 13 aces and saving four break points in the decider. Osaka was a set up and right there. She gets another crack, on the court where she has won two majors.

Coco Gauff vs Iva Jovic — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their ALL-AMERICAN FOURTH ROUND clash at the 2026 US Open. The Cincinnati champion against the 18-year-old who just ended Alexandra Eala's run in a three-hour epic. First career meeting.Coco Gauff has quietly built the ideal week. The fourth seed and World No. 4 arrived in New York as the Cincinnati Open champion — her first title of 2026, her second in Cincinnati, and her 12th career title — after beating Jessica Pegula 6-2, 6-4 in the first all-American women's final there in 56 years. She's now come through Zeynep Sonmez, Magdalena Frech and Cristina Bucsa 6-3, 6-4 to reach the round of 16. The parallel is impossible to ignore: in 2023 a Cincinnati title was the launchpad to her maiden Grand Slam in this exact building.Iva Jovic has announced herself. The 14th seed and career-high World No. 14 came through one of the matches of the tournament, outlasting 17th seed Alexandra Eala 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in a THREE-HOUR MARATHON on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday night — a third career win over the Filipina, in the most demanding circumstances yet. "It took literally everything," she said. At 18, she's already made an Australian Open quarterfinal, becoming the youngest American woman to reach the last eight in Melbourne since Venus Williams in 1998, plus the Wimbledon fourth round, and is 31-16 on the season. This is her first US Open round of 16.They have never played on tour. Two American teenagers-turned-contenders, an Ashe crowd that wins either way, and a Grand Slam quarterfinal on the line. The question is whether Jovic has anything left in the legs after three hours — and whether Gauff's returning can exploit it.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts are together at Flushing Meadows on the night that Serena and Venus Williams returned to the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Part one - We discuss the Williams sisters' loss to Maya Joint and Chan Hao Ching, the incredible sense of occasion, and what could be next for Serena. In the singles, there's chat about Taylor Townsend setting up at a tantalising clash with Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula overcoming a sluggish start to beat Leylah Fernandez, and a couple of surprising losses for Elina Svitolina and Karolina Muchova. Part two (25:27) - We cover another win for Carlos Alcaraz, his amusing outfit adjustment, Daniil Medvedev's convincing form ahead of a fourth round match against Frances Tiafoe, and why Alex Michelsen feels like there's still so much more to come from him. Part three (44:42) - Reaction to Ben Shelton's victory over Denis Shapovalov in another match which finished at gone 2am and a look ahead to Saturday's order of play.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 are together at Flushing Meadows on a day which saw some upsets in the men's draw while the top women continued their smooth progress. Part one - We start with Coco Gauff's night session win over Paula Badosa. How good did she have to be to win? Elsewhere, are Naomi Osaka and Amanda Anisimova In The Mix to win this title? We discuss their three set wins as well as Madison Keys' dramatic comeback, Alexandra Eala showcasing how she's a quick learner, and Zheng Qinwen finding her identity on court again. Part two (33:08) - We discuss the way Felix Auger-Aliqssime and Lorenzo Musetti both wilted in the heat, another tough loss for Alex De Minaur, the end of Gael Monfils' Grand Slam career, and why Taylor Fritz is so convincing at the moment. Part three (52:38) - We cover top seed Alexander Zverev dragging himself through another late night five-setter and look ahead to Friday's order of play.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.

C'est parti pour la carte postale de Court N°1.

eyes will be on Carlos Alcaraz as he returns from a wrist injury that has kept him sidelined since Barcelona in April and despite his absence he is a warm favourite to successfully defend his Flushing Meadows crown.Alcaraz's fiercest rival and the man he defeated in last year's final, Jannik Sinner, remains out but there are still plenty of dangers to the Spaniard with French Open hero Alexander Zverev and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic seen as the two most likely to dethrone him by the bookmakers.

Steve Flink joins the podcast to discuss a wide range of topics from the 2026 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to the start of The US Open, and his new excellent book about the greatest names in American tennis history. Flink, who was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017, recaps this year's festivities which saw Roger Federer and Mary Carillo take their place in tennis eternity. He also explains why his new book: "The Immortals of American Tennis," provides an all-encompassing look at the greatest and most impactful names the USA has produced in this sport. The author details his writing process, the emphasis on the pre-open era stars, and what readers can expect to learn as they dive into the pages. Flink also looks at the beginning of the 2026 US Open, which saw Novak Djokovic lose his opening match to Mariano Navone in five agonizing sets. The journalist recaps the match, details the biggest obstacles in Djokovic's way, and predicts where the Serbian legend might go from here. And Flink gives his thoughts on the other early storylines from Flushing Meadows, which included Carlos Alcaraz's return to the court, Stefanos Tsitsipas' huge upset win over Arthur Fils, and the decision to start the Venus Williams/Sofia Kenin match after midnight.

Pour cette deuxième carte postale en direct de Flushing Meadows, Eric Salliot revient sur la désillusion française avec l'élimination d'Arthur Fils. Le Français, pourtant vainqueur du Masters 1000 de Cincinnati il y a quelques jours, a été battu en quatre manches par le Grec Tsitsipas. Arthur Fils, auteur de plusieurs fautes flagrantes, a coulé à la fin du deuxième set et n'a plus réussi à renverser la tendance. Un coup dur pour le Français où les espoirs étaient placés en lui pour un beau parcours. Eric Salliot revient aussi sur les autres matches de la nuit avec notamment les qualifications de Quentin Halys, Adrian Mannarino et Diane Parry. C'est parti pour la carte postale de Court N°1.

Leif Shiras joins the show to recap the Cincinnati Open, where Coco Gauff and Arthur Fils claimed the trophies with some sizzling tennis.

The Tennis Channel broadcaster analyzes Fils' improved game, looks at Frances Tiafoe's strengths and weaknesses, and goes in depth on how American Brandon Nakashima has had a dream summer in 2026.
