Catherine, David and Matt react live to women’s semi-finals day as Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova ensured there will be a Czech winner on Saturday.
We start with Muchova’s extraordinary win over Coco Gauff in a final set tiebreak. How did Muchova manage to beat Gauff over the distance? What was Gauff thinking with that drop shot on her match point? And do we have any concerns about Muchova when it comes to physicality and nerves in the final?
As for the second semi-final (26:15), we talk about Noskova’s remarkable poise and temperament which saw her produce another brilliant performance, and debate the extent to which Marta Kostyuk could have done more.
We also look ahead to the men’s semi-finals (42:12) and in particular the order of them, which sees Arthur Fery vs Alexander Zverev scheduled first, and Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner on second. What might have contributed to this switch? And who will it benefit?
