Summary

Halfway through this US Open and it just keeps getting better and better. Catherine and Matt chat about how defeat for Ash Barty changes the complexion of the draw, the way Leylah Fernandez out-Kerbered Angelique Kerber and took the New York crowd with her, how Spain is covering Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev's masterclass against Dan Evans, the way Elina Svitolina stepped up to beat Simona Halep, and a big moment for Botic van de Zandschulp.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli.
0:03.1	I'm Matt's Vellander. This is Mary Carillo. This is Pam Shriver.
0:06.4	I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lighten Eur. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:22.1	Well, it's been another absolutely astonishing 24 hours at the US Open. I suspect you're going to
0:29.7	get rather bored of me and or David saying that over the course of the next week. It's amazing how
0:37.4	great matches become infectious. This tournament feels like it's on a roll. We're currently
0:43.3	watching the latter stages of the 33rd five set match of the tournament. I believe the all-time
0:52.5	record at the US Open is 35 and 33 puts this tournament in third position with seven days of it
1:01.2	still to go. It's just Matt and myself tonight because David is he's okay but he's not up to

1:48.7	this morning and that's tough for you well done. Well David you had a nap today well done.
1:55.6	We miss you of course. I mean partly because I think this US Open is increasingly requiring
2:03.6	three people's vocabulary to try and capture it quite frankly. We come to you. It's one day.
2:10.1	Hair of eyes. Everything. Yeah. It's one thirty in the morning. I have got some very bizarre looking.
2:18.6	Matt's been very polite not to mention it but I've emerged from the bathroom with some very bizarre
2:24.4	patches under my eyes to try and rescue my slightly corpse like appearance
2:31.6	for appearing on the telly tomorrow. And Francis Tiefo at this moment well he's clenching his
