US Open Day 2 - Was that the worst Ashe ...

David Law, Catherine Whitaker, Matt Roberts
About this episode

There's no point pretending otherwise: Tuesday on the Arthur Ashe Stadium was a complete dud, with two extremely one-sided matches in the day session and two awkward ones at night, including a retirement. But there was still plenty for Catherine, David and Matt to discuss elsewhere, including a perfect day for the Brits, the first use of VAR in tennis which failed spectacularly, Ons Jabeur winning despite being ill, another rough defeat for Caroline Garcia, a comeback victory for Hubert Hurkacz, and a first Grand Slam match win for Arthur Fils.
