Summary
Elina Svitolina is becoming a WTA Finals expert, Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova will meet for a place in the semi-finals, and Bianca Andreescu is injured…again. Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts talk it all through.
There’s also debate over on-court coaching, and chat about the colour and speed of the court in Shenzhen, Roger Federer’s decision to withdraw from the ATP Cup, and Jack Sock losing his ATP singles ranking.
The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with Telegraph Sport. We are weekly throughout the year, and daily during all four Grand Slams, the WTA and ATP Finals, and the Fed and Davis Cup Finals.
