Summary
Catherine, David and Matt react to an opening day of the US Open which saw a couple of extraordinary moments and matches involving raucous crowds.
Part one - Men’s results. We start by reacting to all the late night drama involving Daniil Medvedev, Benjamin Bonzi, a photographer, and umpire Greg Allensworth on Louis Armstrong. There’s also chat about Novak Djokovic’s fitness in his three-set win over Learner Tien, straight sets wins for the top Americans, and some very Tennis Podcast coded matches.
Part two - Women’s results (29:26). We cover Alexandra Eala’s crazy comeback to defeat Clara Tauson which sent Grandstand into a frenzy. There’s also analysis of Aryna Sabalenka and Emma Raducanu’s straight sets wins, and we get to know Indonesian qualifier Janice Tjen.
