Justin RobertsHOST
Uh, the overall three weeks of the US Open for me, I mean, I barely watched matches to be honest with anybody watching.
Justin RobertsHOST
But, uh, just, like, the, the coverage and the storylines that I cared about, obviously saying goodbye to Grand Slam tennis for Wawrinka and Monfils.
Justin RobertsHOST
That feels like a bit of a, yeah, the era is dying.
Justin RobertsHOST
Again, the last guy left is Novak Djokovic it feels like.

Alex GruskinHOST
Um, but will we see Svitolina much beyond that? I really don't know.
Alex GruskinHOST
Um, you know, again, you imagine Monfils is gonna play frequently down the season home stretches.
Alex GruskinHOST
It's his final home stretch.
Alex GruskinHOST
Will Svitolina follow him to those events? What does, uh...
JoelHOST
It's a good answer.
JoelHOST
I mean, Kim has put Monfils, uh, defeating, uh, Vallejo, uh, the sexist Vallejo.
JoelHOST
Um-
ChrisHOST
Oh, is that what she wrote?
ChrisHOST
I thought that was her peak.
ChrisHOST
Was it round one?
JoelHOST
She said Monfils beating the sexist.
JoelHOST
Um-
Matt TrollopeHOST
Okay.
Matt TrollopeHOST
And your, your idol's listed as Gael Monfils, and so we just wondered, um, what, what do you love about his game?
Alex MichelsenGUEST
Well, I mean, the guy is one of the best athletes to ever play tennis.
Alex MichelsenGUEST
I mean, the guy's so quick and jumps so high.
Tom BirminghamHOST
Dude, this Ben Shelton kid can serve a tennis ball
Eddy SimpsonHOST
Gael Monfils famously f- uh, copied Roddick's serving style
Tom BirminghamHOST
You know Gael Monfils and his wife, whose name I don't know, but she's on the women's tour, both have the longest men's and women's records for time on tour without a Grand Slam.
Eddy SimpsonHOST
Is that right?
Tom BirminghamHOST
Is that right, each other?
ChrisHOST
...
ChrisHOST
Monfils as well.
ChrisHOST
You know, like I think it's, um, yeah, I think it's one of those ones where it's sort of the history that you aren't aiming to do that because you're aiming to become the first like American winner.
ChrisHOST
But it's the history that also comes with it, which I think added a significance to this match for sure.
Miles DavidHOST
Five, seven, three, six, seven, five, six, three, seven, six, ten points to six in that final set, deciding.
Miles DavidHOST
It's the first men's U.S. Open quarterfinal comeback from two sets down since Roger Federer did it against Gael Monfils in 2014.
Miles DavidHOST
And Tiafoe is now 11-17 in five setters for his career.
Miles DavidHOST
Mickelson unfortunately fell to 11-5, so he hasn't won a five setter.
Jordan SchmaltzHOST
Like, these guys, I mean, you know what I mean? Like, who cares what color you are? Like, you can play Asian player.
Jordan SchmaltzHOST
You can play Monfils.
Jordan SchmaltzHOST
Andreeva's from Siberia.
Jordan SchmaltzHOST
She's playing? I thought I
SmaeenHOST
I think it was also against, uh-
YusufHOST
Monfils or Legros
SmaeenHOST
...
SmaeenHOST
Carlos at Roland Garros on clay, on his worst surface.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
I think third round was the highest and that was achieved by Cameron Norrie in Australia.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
Now I grant you that this year has been slightly hindered for the Brits with our established number ones being sort of long-term injured, those being Jack Draper, and Emma Raducano but really British tennis you need to look at the amount of lottery money and funding that goes in and say when do we say enough is enough particularly as there's so much prize money available at these big tournaments but looking very good on the worldwide scene at the us open at the moment are arena sabalenka in the women's and carlos alcaraz in the men's who are both the current holders but i don't think they've dropped a set between them yet that is fantastic but i'm particularly pleased to see coco goth doing well it would be lovely for her to win her home grand slam and also alexander spheriff who's become one of my favorites since i found out you know he was the runner-up at wimbledon where they sort of let it be known that he's got type 1 diabetic and i'm afraid we type 1ers must stick together now tennis said a fond farewell to two of its Should we say older statesman? Gael Monfils of France.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
He won his first round on his 40th birthday, but then he bid farewell.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
And I'm afraid Stamford Brinker was in tears when he left the court as he stood down aged 41.
