Summary
Caroline Wozniacki has looked anything but a Grand Slam finalist this year, but her excellent form has continued at the US Open and she will clash with Angelique Kerber on Thursday.
Catherine Whitaker and David Law took to the 5 Live commentary box to talk about it, and to preview Andy Murray's quarterfinal with Kei Nishikori.
Catherine reveals some insight from a Nishikori/Chang practice session, and how Ivan Lendl threw them off the court, and then David reflects on a night-session that was all a bit of damp squib.
Novak Djokovic reached the semifinals of the US Open after his third opponent of the fortnight failed to finish.

| 0:47.5 | Live commentary booth and we are between sessions right now looking out onto the Arthur Ash Stadium |
| 0:53.4 | court, the biggest court in the world, 23,700 blue seats and an enormous roof up above which is |
| 1:02.0 | pulled over because it's humid, it's cool, it's windy today and there's been a bit of rain in the |
| 1:08.1 | air as well. I'll be coming back on at the end of this show to talk about the the Chokovic Songa |

| 1:29.0 | talking to each other now than when you were walking into a tree last night. Which you said in a |
| 1:34.5 | message to me after that recording was one of your career highlights. Podcast career highlights |
| 1:40.4 | unquestionably. I'm telling you I wish you'd been there all of you and the thousands of you. |
| 1:45.2 | I wish you'd been stood there right then. Anyway Catherine it got my own back for all those times |
