Summary

Catherine Whitaker and David Law are in New York to look ahead to the US Open.

All the exciting first round matches are previewed and plenty of predictions for the tournament are made.

How pumped should we be for Serena vs. Sharapova in round one? And which one of them will rise to the occasion the best?

Elsewhere, Catherine reveals the moods of the top players during media day. Why does Naomi Osaka seem sad? In what way was Jo Konta talking up her chances? How is Roger Federer feeling compared to this time last year? Does Daniil Medvedev consider himself a title contender? And can Bianca Andreescu do ‘big things’ this fortnight?

The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year, in association with The Telegraph. There will be daily editions throughout the US Open.

We crowdfund the new season every December. If you like the podcast, want to help, and would like a reminder when our Kickstarter goes live on December 1st, sign up here - http://po.st/SupportTheTennisPodcast
