Catherine, David and Matt catch up as Cincinnati concludes with two exciting champions putting themselves in a great position ahead of the year’s final Grand Slam tournament of the year. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 28.13). Arthur Fils has been arriving for a while, but this was his biggest destination yet. A first Masters 1000 title with a victory over Frances Tiafoe on home soil in the process takes some doing. Where does that put him in the Mix for the US Open? Part two - ATP (28.14 - 49:48). Coco Gauff has been here before - finding form in Cincinnati and then taking it into New York and winning it all. This was as well as she has played for a long time, and Jessica Pegula had few answers in the final. Is Gauff now the favourite for the US Open? Catherine asks the question, Matt and David answer it. Part three - News (49:49). There’s the full draw for the US Open Mixed Doubles and reaction to the news that Stan Wawrinka is not getting a singles main draw wild card. We will be live on the US Open stage reacting to the singles draws on Thursday 27th August at 1pm. Please come along if you’re at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre that day during Fan Week!
