Episode Notes

Elena Rybakina has survived a late surge from Jessica Pegula to book her place in Saturday's Women’s Final. Alexia Mitchell and Brett Thomas unpack the rollercoaster match and are joined by tennis commentator Jill Craybas to recap Aryna Sabalenka’s near-perfect win over Elina Svitolina. We cast our eyes to the Men’s semifinal matches ahead on Day 13, featuring Carlos Alcaraz v Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner v Novak Djokovic.
