What does Roger Federer’s withdrawal from the US Open lead-in events suggest about the state of his knee?
How did Rafael Nadal seem on his return in Washington and how much of a concern is his foot injury?
Why is Andy Murray singling out Jenson Brooksby as an exciting prospect?
What are the big storylines to watch out for in Canada?
How much could Bianca Andreescu do with a strong showing this week?
Why was it a big deal that Jannik Sinner won the title in Washington?
In what way is Danielle Collins a new player and is she in the US Open mix?
