Summary
Catherine, David and Matt are all in New York to discuss the US Open draws which were revealed - disappointingly - on Thursday. There's lots of excitement about Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff being in the same quarter, as well as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, plus chat about a dream draw for Novak Djokovic, a tough one for Stefanos Tsitsipas, and speculation about how the likes of Jessica Pegula, Marketa Vondrousova, Ons Jabeur and Aryna Sabalenka might get on.
