Aryna Sabalenka is a US Open champion at last. After a series of near misses in New York, she faced down her demons and beat Jessica Pegula 7-5 7-5 in a brilliant final on Saturday. Catherine, David and Matt discuss where the match was won and lost and what the result means for both players.
There’s also an existential best of three versus best of five debate, a round up of the other doubles and junior results at the US Open, reporting on the final day of tennis at the Paralympics, a discussion about Nick Kyrgios’ tweeting, and a preview of Sunday's men's final.
