The 2026 US Open is done. Alexander Zverev and Elena Rybakina are the champions — and I'm joined by Christian from CHRISTIAN'S COURT for a full tournament review covering everything that happened over an extraordinary fortnight in New York.THE CHAMPIONSAlexander Zverev beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 for his SECOND Grand Slam title, six years after leading Dominic Thiem by two sets in the 2020 final here and losing. It caps his best season: a maiden major at Roland-Garros, the Wimbledon final, and at least the semifinals at all four Slams in 2026.Elena Rybakina beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 for her THIRD major and first US Open, denying the two-time defending champion a three-peat that would have made her the first woman to do it since Serena Williams in 2012-14. Rybakina has now beaten Sabalenka in BOTH 2026 Grand Slam finals, and takes over as World No. 1.ALCARAZThe defending champion returned from a four-month layoff after a wrist injury at the Barcelona Open and looked to be building beautifully — until Ben Shelton dethroned him 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(10-7) in a quarterfinal that finished at 3:33 A.M., the latest finish in US Open history, ending an 18-match Grand Slam winning streak.SABALENKATwo-time defending champion, World No. 1 coming in, sixth straight US Open semifinal — and it ends with the three-peat denied and the top ranking gone. Where does she go from here?We also cover Zheng Qinwen's run from qualifying to the quarterfinals, Novak Djokovic's first-round exit, Shelton and Tiafoe's all-American semifinal, and what the rest of the season looks like.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro ft.

Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim recap the entire 2026 US Open: from the champions Alexander Zverev & Elena Rybakina and what the rest of their season might look like. The runner-ups Ben Shelton and Aryna Sabalenka and what they did best. Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton's 3:30am 5-set thriller. Iva Jovic and Alex Eala and their incredible 3rd Round match. And finally the late-night scheduling debate, rising popularity among influencers, and why Roddick calls the US Open the biggest sporting event in America. COMMENT BELOW: What was your moment of the 2026 US Open?
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.

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.
Ben and Tumaini are tired but wired to talk about the U.S. Open quarterfinals, particularly Tuesday's slate which turned into the longest day in U.S. Open history. We discuss Sabalenka d. Noskova, Tiafoe d. Michelsen, and Shelton d. Alcaraz particularly, and also then the issue around late finishes and how it should or shouldn't trigger a reckoning abut best-of-five. (We don't agree on this!) Thank you for listening! You can read Ben's work at Bounces and Tumaini's at The Guardian.

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.

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, David and Matt were live after a couple of late night five-setters as Grigor Dimitrov's feel good run went on and Alexander Bublik ended Frances Tiafoe's hopes. How much regret will Tiafoe have after failing to take any of his nine set points in the third? And just how far can Dimitrov go? It was also a huge day in the women's draw as former champions Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina were both beaten. We discuss Alexandra Eala's extraordinary performance to beat Swiatek and the impact of her win in The Philippines, as well as Elise Mertens holding her nerve to beat Rybakina. Who can capitalise the most from those upsets? In part two we cover the rest of the day's results, including Madison Keys beating Amanda Anisimova in her first match on Centre Court, Flavio Cobolli winning despite losing a 6-0 opening set, Arthur Fery's fifth set tiebreak win over Zizou Bergs to keep British interest alive, and Marta Kostyuk's best ever run on grass.

Welcome to ATP Weekly, your roundup of the biggest stories from the grass-court swing as Wimbledon approaches. Frances Tiafoe claimed the biggest title of his career at the Halle Open, defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the final. Tiafoe produced a near-flawless performance, breaking early in both sets and protecting his serve throughout. He also became the first American champion in Halle since 1993, a significant milestone heading into Wimbledon. In London, Francisco Cerúndolo defeated Tommy Paul 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3 to win the Queen's Club Championships. The Argentine battled through a marathon final lasting more than three hours, the longest championship match in the tournament's history. After dropping the opening set, Cerúndolo steadily wore down Paul and completed a memorable comeback to secure his first ATP 500 crown. The triumph makes Cerúndolo the first Argentine ever to win Queen's and further establishes him as a genuine threat on grass after previously winning Eastbourne in 2023. One of the most anticipated stories of the week is the return of British star Jack Draper. After months on the sidelines with injury problems, Draper is set to make his comeback at the Eastbourne Open. Draper has spoken positively about working with former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, whose guidance has helped him through a difficult rehabilitation period. The Brit opens his campaign against Brandon Nakashima. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Back from our first trip to Roland-Garros, here is part 2 of our RG mid-tournament wrap, this one focusing on the tennis we saw, the happenings on-site, and how the chaotic first week played out more broadly. What's it like to watch a tournament unfold in person while it's already being branded online as chaotic and/or horrible? Well, sometimes your priority is just your next water refill. We'll tell you about players we sought out (Swiatek, Rybakina, Medvedev, Vacherot, Jodar, Tiafoe, and more). We'll take you through the experience of watching Naomi Osaka's walkout and the surreal collapse of Jannik Sinner as it unfolded on Chatrier. As we always do, we'll dip into the messier moments, like the Korpatsch-Wang dust-up, the monumental PR stumbles of Rafa Jodar, and Vallejo's misogynistic bag-fumbling. What a week in Paris; it promises to get weirder before the fortnight is out. 1:00 Nothing new under the sun: Wang pulls a Hingis '99 7:10 She's taking it! Oh – actually, no, sorry 15:25 Iga Swiatek out to Kostyuk 23:10 Telling stories about players and matches we saw: Vacherot, Rybakina, Keys, and more 38:35 Rafa Jodar exonerated, sort of 46:50 Naomi's debut on Lenglen 50:40 James, are you happy to be in Paris? 62:35 Being in Chatrier for the Sinner upset 73:10 Are we all amateur geneticists now? 80:45 These f—ing tarpaulins and Lacoste bollards! 85:25 Wrapping up the draw as it stands
