Summary
Catherine, David and Matt catch up on all the latest tour results as the races for the year-end finals heat up.
Part one - WTA Results. We start with Elena Rybakina’s title run in Ningbo, including her impressive turnaround in the final against Ekaterina Alexandrova and where that leaves the Race to Riyadh. Jasmine Paolini has qualified, but why is Mirra Andreeva not playing this week? There’s also chat about Leylah Fernandez’s victory in Osaka over Czech rising star Tereza Valentova.
Part two - ATP Results (24:30). We cover Daniil Medvedev’s first title in 29 months in Almaty, Felix Auger-Aliassime making a late charge for Turin, Holger Rune’s horrific injury, Casper Ruud’s awesome form in Stockholm, and the meaninglessness of the Six Kings Slam.
Part three - The week ahead including our trip to Wrexham! (01:05:30)
As mentioned in this episode, The Athletic’s Monday Tennis Briefing is always worth a read.
Tickets are now on General Sale for The Tennis Podcast - Live in Wrexham on Wednesday October 22nd! Buy here.
