There's no shortage of fireworks at the 2023 US Open, and journalist Crina Mustafa joins the podcast to break down all the highlights from Flushing Meadows. Mustafa assesses what went wrong for players like Holger Rune, Casper Ruud & Maria Sakkari in their early losses, how Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz have remained steady, and why this contingent of American men might be different after all. She also dives into Coco Gauff's maturity, the WTA moms that are having great success, and which players in both draws could make a serious impact as the tournament rolls along.

And then doubles star Austin Krajicek appears for an exclusive interview ahead of the start of his US Open campaign. Krajicek discusses his goals for a big run in New York, trying to regain the World #1 ranking, and what it meant to him to represent American in the Olympics and in the upcoming Davis Cup Finals this fall. The Texas native also explains why college tennis prepared him mightily for the pro game, and what it was like being inducted into the Texas A&M athletic Hall of Fame. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
