Tennis broadcaster Candy Reid returns to the podcast to recap the Washington DC Open, where Alexandra Eala won her maiden title and dispatched some of the most talented names in the game to do so. Reid explains why Eala is so good for tennis, why her Filipino support is amazing, and why her game could keep elevating to that of a major champion. The broadcaster also reacts to Taylor Fritz capturing the men's crown in the US capital, and finalist Rafael Jodar's consistency in his rookie year on the ATP.
Reid highlights all the action from Canada, where Ben Shelton looks to defend his title. The commentator looks at Elena Rybakina's form, Marta Kostyuk's athleticism, and Jessica Pegula's chances to add that elusive first major. And Reid reacts to the news that Carlos Alcaraz will not play in Cincinnati, as the talented Spaniard's US Open title defense hangs in the balance. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
