US Open Preview - Media Day, Qualifying,...

David Law, Catherine Whitaker, Matt Roberts
About this episode

On the eve of the US Open, David, Catherine and Matt are together on site to reflect on what the players said on media day, to react to the news that Serena and Venus Williams are playing doubles together, to highlight some of the best stories from qualifying, and to preview Monday’s action. 

We discuss lots of the players' tributes to Serena, whether Iga Swiatek is going to thrive or not in New York, Rafael Nadal’s fitness, Naomi Osaka’s form, some punchy comments from Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, Emma Raducanu’s return as defending champion, the incredible Brandon Holt story, and much more.
