About this episode

Part one. Iga Swiatek once again put in a strong performance to beat Emma Raducanu, but she remains on a collision course with Jelena Ostapenko. We discuss both of their performances, as well as a win for Amanda Anisimova, and another impressive victory for Victoria Mboko.

Part two (28m52s). The men’s draw was headlined by defeats for former finalists Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tstisipas. We cover Ruud’s injury and comments about the tour, the sad searching of Tsitsipas, and discovering Matteo Gigante. There’s also a review of Carlos Alcaraz’s tennis and his new haircut.

Part three (53m31s). A preview of the Day 5 Order of Play and hype for DJOKOVIC VS MOUTET ON LENGLEN!
