On a pretty surreal day at the US Open, Carlos Alcaraz won his sixth Grand Slam title and became the new World Number One by beating Jannik Sinner in four sets. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all. 

Part one - Match reaction. We cover what made Alcaraz’s performance so impressive, the way in which both players talked in press about how much they’re trying to improve because of the other, and the future of the rivalry. We also discuss the shocking scenes as the match was delayed and fans were delated getting into the stadium because of security in place for Donald Trump. 

Part two - Our plans (53:27). We discuss our upcoming coverage of the Billie Jean King Cup and what’s going to be available soon for Friends of The Tennis Podcast.
