Summary
Amanda Anisimova will meet Naomi Osaka in the US Open semi-finals and it’s a pretty big moment for the pod! Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all.
Part one - Women’s results. We discuss the extraordinary way Anisimova overcame her Wimbledon final demons to beat Iga Swiatek. What was different about this match? Just how incredible is this feat? And how might Anisimova vs Osaka go on Thursday night? There’s also chat about Karolina Muchova’s gutsy performance and David’s press conference exchange with Iga Swiatek.
Part two - Men’s results (39:00). We cover Felix Auger-Aliassime’s nervy win over Alex de Minaur and Jannik Sinner’s demolition of Lorenzo Musetti in the night session.
Part three - Women’s semi-finals preview (55:14).
