Episode Synopsis
Part one - Women’s matches. We start by covering Marketa Vondrousova’s superb performance to beat Elena Rybakina and Barbora Krejcikova remarkable escape act against Taylor Townsend. How did Vondrousova negate Rybakina? How did Krejcikova save the 8 match points? And how dangerous are both players going to be for Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula in the quarter-finals? Part two - Men’s matches (31:18). The shot of the day came from - who else? - Carlos Alcaraz with a behind-the-back half volley. We describe that moment, look ahead to Novak Djokovic vs Taylor Fritz after both players hit pretty much top gear on Sunday, and take stock of yet another poor performance from Tomas Machac on a big stage. Part three - Day 9 Order of Play (50:19).Tickets are now on General Sale for The Tennis Podcast - Live in Wrexham on Wednesday October 22nd!
