A couple of weeks off after the US Open, and the Tennis Podcast team are back with a bang to assess the Laver Cup, which took place over the weekend. What did everyone think of it? Is it tennis’ answer to the Ryder Cup, or can it only ever be an exhibition event?
We hear from the Telegraph’s Simon Briggs, who was in Prague to watch it in person, and Catherine Whitaker and David Law are back together to give their impressions.
Was the event scripted to provide a Federer vs. Kyrgios climax? Does the points system work, with more available on day 3 vs. day 1? Elsewhere, an update on the Race to Singapore - Jo Konta’s pursuit to be among the top eight players at the WTA Finals. Will she get over the line? Early losses in Wuhan for the two US Open finalists will help.
The podcast team also look back on the conclusion to the US Open, given Catherine was unable to appear on the show because of illness, and the subsequent Davis Cup semifinals.
And there’s the new Catherine Whitaker forehand, rebuilt while she was sunning herself at the La Manga Club in Spain.
