Send us Fan Mail🎾 Out Wide Ep. 40: The US Open Has Main Character EnergyResh and Stef roll into episode 40 fresh off vacation (Resh: honeymoon #2 in Banff, Stef: an Oregon "clear water" trip that got ambushed by snow, because 2026) to recap a US Open that has fully lost its mind. Venus and Serena reunited for one doubles match, at 46 and 44, packed Arthur Ashe, blew a 5-0 tiebreak lead, lost — and still walked off to a standing ovation, because apparently winning was never really the assignment. Meanwhile Zheng Qinwen, a qualifier ranked outside the top 100, came back from 0-5 down not once but TWICE, including a takedown of Iga Świątek, and when asked how she pulled off the comeback, essentially shrugged and asked how she got down 0-5 in the first place. Coco Gauff is quietly steamrolling everyone with 19 straight sets and a freshly fixed serve, Emma Navarro clapped back at her online haters by making the quarters while managing a thyroid condition, and the fashion desk is thriving — Naomi's doing full Allen Iverson tribute fits, Taylor Townsend sold out her own merch line in Bed-Stuy, and half the WTA field accidentally showed up in the same Nike dress like nobody checked the group chat. Then it's 5 Minutes with the 5%: Alcaraz plays mixed doubles with Serena purely for the vibes, and Monfils plays his last US Open before announcing he's pivoting to wealth management — racket to spreadsheet, no notes. Support the showInstagram : Out_Wide_PodcastJingle : https://www.nelaruizcomposer.com/Logo: https://www.instagram.com/crayonspaghetti/
