Summary

On women's semi-final night we were joined by the one and only Pam Shriver to talk about wins for Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen. There's chat about why Gauff-Sabalenka is such a good match up, the differences between this match and their US Open final, and how Zheng might handle her first major final. We also round up a fun day of doubles and look ahead to the men's semis.
