Summary

Jessica Pegula and Jannik Sinner are the Canada champions and David is back from holiday to talk it all through with Catherine and Matt. In what way did the rain and scheduling affect the women's event? How did Pegula show off just how good of a player she is to overcome Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek (and Cotton Eye Joe)? And are both players in the US Open Mix or not? Elsewhere, there's chat about what this week means for Carlos Alcaraz, Alex de Minaur and Liudmila Samsonova, a quick look ahead to Cincinnati, and tribute to the retiring Greg Sharko.

0:37.3	Hello, David. Oh, I've got lots of chat. I've got lots of chat. I've been to another country and
0:44.2	it was marvelous and I've been watching tennis in the middle of the night still, so not everything's
0:49.4	changed, but it's been marvelous. So now I've got loads of energy to just take over the show with.
