Serena Williams is her best self every time Maria Sharapova faces her across a tennis net. Day one of the US Open was no different.
Afterwards, drinks in hand, Catherine Whitaker and David Law convened to review the day in the lobby of a hotel in which players past and present wandered by, including Nick Kyrgios heading out ...
Why does Sharapova bring out the best in Serena? Is it personal? Will this be the catalyst for a run to major 24?
Elsewhere, what happened with the British players, who looked good, and how did Federer get on against Indian qualifier Sumit Nagal?
The Tennis Podcast will be produced daily throughout the US Open.

All the exciting first round matches are previewed and plenty of predictions for the tournament are made.
How pumped should we be for Serena vs. Sharapova in round one? And which one of them will rise to the occasion the best?
Elsewhere, Catherine reveals the moods of the top players during media day. Why does Naomi Osaka seem sad? In what way was Jo Konta talking up her chances? How is Roger Federer feeling compared to this time last year? Does Daniil Medvedev consider himself a title contender? And can Bianca Andreescu do ‘big things’ this fortnight?

Larry Stefanki is one of the most respected and successful coaches in tennis. In this wide-ranging interview with David Law, Stefanki tells stories from his time coaching Marcelo Ríos, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Tim Henman, Fernando Gonzalez and Andy Roddick, and offers insight into what each player was like.
Why has he not spoken to Ríos for over 20 years? What was Henman lacking in the big matches? Were there similarities between Kafelnikov and Roddick? Why did he choose to coach Gonzalez rather than Andy Murray? And why did he think it was Roddick’s ‘destiny’ to win Wimbledon in 2009?
Plus, find out why Stefanki is strongly opposed to on-court coaching, what he makes of the Next Generation, who he thinks will end up with the most Grand Slam titles out of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and what would tempt him to coach again.

Nick Kyrgios doesn't win tournaments very often, he wins them when you least expect it, but boy, when he wins them you know about it.
Catherine Whitaker (in Montreal) and David Law convened on The Tennis Podcast after a giddy couple of days in Washington in which Kyrgios won the title with the most spellbinding tennis imaginable, and plenty of drama and theatrics thrown in.
The dropshot serve, the new signature move on match point, the meltdowns are all discussed, and the pod team try to work out if something is changing, or whether this will just be a one-off.
Elsewhere, titles in San Jose, Los Cabos and Kitzbuhel are covered, and we look ahead to Montreal.
