Catherine, David and Matt discuss how Beatriz Haddad Maia fought back against Ons Jabeur, why Jabeur should have regrets about the second set, Coco Gauff’s new tactic against Iga Swiatek, a completely bizarre match between Casper Ruud and Holger Rune, and how Alexander Zverev has made it back into the final four a year on from his horrific ankle injury.

| 0:50.5 | Variv David's here. Hello, David. Hello, hello. I feel a little bit like Holgerunet in the first two |
| 0:57.6 | sets just in terms of a little bit of fatigue but I'm confident if I put my best foot forward I'll |
