Nick Monroe joins the podcast on-site from The US Open to dive into all the action and drama from Flushing Meadows. Monroe breaks down Carlos Alcaraz's impressive form in his return, and looks at how Ben Shelton can rise to the challenge in their upcoming quarterfinal match. The broadcaster also explains how Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelsen have elevated their games in NYC, and assesses Alexander Zverev's level as he looks to claim his first US Open title.
Monroe also weighs in on the women's draw, where Qinwen Zheng rallied from 5-0 down in two consecutive matches, with the latter being a tremendous upset win over Iga Swiatek. The former player discusses Elena Rybakina's sustained brilliance in her win over Naomi Osaka, Aryna Sabalenka's game rounding into form, and Linda Noskova's tremendous short-term memory. And Monroe explains how Americans Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro are racking up the wins at The US Open. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
