Summary

Catherine, David and Matt are finally back together on a Monday to talk all about Amanda Anisimova’s title in Beijing and events so far in Shanghai.

Part one - WTA Beijing. We discuss Anisimova’s final three matches in Beijing en route to the title, analysing how she’s become such a consistent force at the top of the sport. How helpful could this title be in turning her into a major champion? And what’s left to improve? There’s also chat about Linda Noskova’s extraordinary semi-final win over Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff’s struggle for form, and Emma Navarro winning a final set bagel against Iga Swiatek.

Part two - ATP Shanghai (38m16s). The heat and humidity have been the main talking points in Shanghai so far and we focus on the large number of retirements, headlined by Jannik Sinner’s against Tallon Griekspoor. There’s also chat about what a chance this is for Novak Djokovic to win another big title, the other possible contenders for the title, and Alexander Zverev’s controversial comments about court speed on tour.

Part three - WTA Wuhan Preview and News (64m55s). We look forward to Aryna Sabalenka’s return in Wuhan, there’s a moving statement from Daria Kasatkina as she shuts down her season, and we celebrate Mary Carillo’s Hall of Fame nomination.
