TennisNow writer Chris Oddo joins the podcast to discuss the epic 2026 US Open, which has featured triumphs, heartbreaks, emotional wins and tears of both joy and sadness. Oddo recaps Ben Shelton's thrilling win over Carlos Alcaraz, and explains why it's the biggest American men's tennis win in decades. The writer also dives into Frances Tiafoe snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, and his emotional embrace with Alex Michelsen.
Oddo analyzes how the top four seeds all advanced to the women's Semifinal round, which include the two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka. The journalist gives his thoughts on Coco Gauff's comeback win over Andreeva, Elena Rybakina's win that clinched the World No. 1 ranking, and whether it's time for Jessica Pegula win her first major title. And Oddo proviews all the semifinal matches, which includes an All-American showdown between Shelton and Tiafoe. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
