Summary

Coco Gauff is the US Open champion, coming from a set down to beat Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday's final. Catherine, David and Matt discuss the quality of the match, the way in which Gauff brought it back, Sabalenka's lack of a plan B, the special atmosphere inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, Gauff's enlightening press conference, and what it might all mean for the future.

Join us live on YouTube at 2pm New York time before the men's final on Sunday!

0:07.5	Hi, this is Ryan Bennett, Nazi Connect living in the Central Coast, Australia.
0:11.2	And you're listening to The Tennis Podcast.
0:13.8	Well, hello and welcome to Flushing Meadows and the penultimate day of the U.S. Open, where you find myself,
0:32.0	Catherine Rittgen, Matt Roberts, David Law, in the media garden. Thank you to Ryan Bennett there,
0:37.7	that you heard in the intro, Ryan from Australia. He says he's been an avid listener for several years,
