Summary
We could be in for a wild US Open. That’s our big takeaway following Cincinnati where Borna Coric and Caroline Garcia won the titles. In our final show before leaving for New York we talk about Coric’s sudden return to form, a mysterious but encouraging week for Stefanos Tsitsipas, who the US Open favourite is between Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev, whether Caroline Garcia is in The Mix after her incredible run of form continued, and where the likes of Emma Raducanu, Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula and Petra Kvitova fit in to conversations about US Open contenders.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt Vellander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.2 | This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.8 | Well hello folks and welcome to your weekly tennis podcast, your final weekly tennis podcast |
| 0:27.7 | before the US Open gets underway in earnest one week from today, four days from today. |
| 0:36.7 | Exactly. We will all be in the air on route to New York and for that reason and for the reason |
| 0:44.2 | that all of our football teams won at the weekend, some are unexpectedly the others. We're all |
| 0:50.4 | super duper pumped, aren't we David? Yeah, I actually I think they were all pretty surprisingly |
| 0:57.0 | victorious and delighted we all were but yeah we I don't know I just feel like Christmas is coming, |
| 1:05.2 | going to New York again after three years of not going and just I suspect we will all appreciate |
| 1:14.0 | it all the more because we haven't been for so long and I think that every year I got a buzz |
| 1:20.4 | when we would take off, when we would arrive, go through and then you're in the city. I don't |
| 1:26.4 | think I don't think anything will be like this since I first arrived there in 2003. I really don't |
| 1:32.9 | because I was lucky enough to go every single year between 2003 and 2019 and inevitably you take |

| 1:55.0 | Do you think? I mean it'll be about four and a half minutes for me but you'll still you'll be |
| 2:00.4 | representing a little bit longer. Matt Christmas came for you on Saturday so I don't know what that |
| 2:06.4 | makes a trip to New York sort of underwhelming boxing day type situation. You've peaked too soon. |
| 2:13.4 | No I can go off to New York safe in the knowledge that Follower doing well in the Premier League |
| 2:18.4 | and I can leave them behind and come back in two weeks when they're probably still on the same |
| 2:22.0 | number of points that are on now. But there's enough of a buff that exactly I am so excited about |
