Summary

A fun week of tennis in Washington DC ended with Coco Gauff and Dan Evans as the champions, with both players winning the biggest titles of their career. Catherine and Matt discuss the stress-free experience of watching Gauff as her forehand help up well, her new coaching set up, whether Maria Sakkari needs a change despite finally winning a semi-final, the highlight reel tennis of Evans, and where this triumph of his has come from after a desperate run of form since April. There's also chat about Dominic Thiem reaching the final in Kitzbuhel, Stefanos Tsitsipas continuing his dominance over Alex de Minaur to win the title in Los Cabos, and the welcome return of the one week Masters 1000 event in Canada this week.

0:05.3	This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:20.6	Hello and welcome to the tennis podcast, brought you on a fine summer's day in South
0:27.6	West London which is not something I've been able to say for the past month and that is absolutely
0:34.7	no exaggeration whatsoever and to verify my story on that we have Matt Roberts, hello Matt.
0:41.6	Hello yes, I've actually escaped from South West London to my to my seaside retreat,
0:48.4	also known as my parents' house, where it is also a lovely day but I don't think they've
0:53.9	been able to say that for a month either. It has been miserable in the UK in in July and the
1:00.8	first few days of August but yeah, today much better. Yeah, for anyone not in UK, remember
1:07.4	whether we had drink Wimbledon where it rained pretty much all the time but was also sort of

1:46.0	achievement in in Solihull sporting history but he wouldn't miss that for a family holiday in
1:52.7	Bordeaux and do that. And and the people of Solihull wouldn't possibly arrange for it to happen

2:11.7	do you know what I just can't resist? I see clearly bought my recording equipment to France
2:17.1	and I have to be on it. Well I know he took his recording equipment to France in case of any
