Join Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ for our US Open Day 9 catch-up as we debate what made Gauff so impressive in her 6-1, 6-4 win and whether she can kick on to pick up her second title at Flushing Meadows. Next up is Mirra Andreeva who holds a 0-5 record in their head-to-head. Can she buck the form book? Meanwhile, Qinwen Zheng somehow came back from 0-5 down AGAIN against Iga Swiatek. Is she set to do a full Emma Raducanu and win the title as a qualifier?</p><p><br></p><p>In the quest for World No. 1, Elena Rybakina produced arguably the performance of the tournament so far, dismantling Naomi Osaka to move one win away from the top of the rankings. Is Rybakina now the player to beat? We also discuss Iga’s worst Grand Slam season since 2019, Alexander Zverev’s growing title credentials, Belgian history-maker Alexander Blockx and Botic van de Zandschulp’s five-hour comeback.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>SUBSCRIBE</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Sign-up to <a href=\"https://tennisweekly.supercast.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tennis Weekly: Ad-free + Extras</a> to listen to ad-free episodes, enjoy monthly bonus podcasts, behind the scenes tournament content, member only quiz episodes and subscriber Q&amp;A podcasts.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>SOCIALS</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Follow us on </em><a href=\"https://twitter.com/tennisweeklypod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Twitter</em></a><em>,&nbsp;</em><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tennisweeklypod/?hl=en-gb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Instagram</em></a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@tennisweeklypod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>TikTok</em></a><em> and&nbsp;</em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClqu9TzAc_qPg6gONIybRgg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>YouTube</em></a><em>, plus email the show </em><a href=\"mailto:tennisweeklypod@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>tennisweeklypod@gmail.com</em></a><em>.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>MERCH</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Purchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our </em><a href=\"https://www.etsy.com/shop/TennisWeeklyPodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Etsy</em></a><em> store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>REVIEWS</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
