Cincinnati - Did finals day change everything for the US Open?

Catherine, David and Matt were live in New York to look back on the opening day of the US Open Mixed Doubles and the closing stages of Cincinnati. We start by discussing the Mixed Doubles - what worked, what didn’t, how did our feelings about the event evolve, and which teams really stood out?  Moving onto Cincinnati, has Iga Swiatek made herself the US Open favourite after her title there? We discuss her victory over Jasmine Paolini in the final, the confidence she’s playing with after Wimbledon, and the way she’s turned her head-to-head with Elena Rybakina around. There’s also chat about where Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are at heading into New York. On the men’s side, how much did we actually learn after Jannik Sinner was forced to retire against Carlos Alcaraz in the Cincinnati final? Finally, we cover the shocking prize money discrepancy that still exists in Cincinnati, a couple of US Open talking points, and the retirement of Kyle Edmund. Tickets are now on General Sale for The Tennis Podcast - Live in Wrexham on Wednesday October 22nd!
