The entire men’s tournament has been building towards Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner meeting in the final and Friday’s semi-finals confirmed that clash will happen on Sunday. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all and look ahead to the women’s final.
Part one - Alcaraz’s win over Novak Djokovic. We cover how this was actually Alcaraz’s least convincing performance of the tournament, the extent to which Djokovic’s presence caused that, and a big discussion about what’s next for Djokovic after he admitted he can’t beat Alcaraz and Sinner over best of five anymore.
Part two - Sinner’s win over Felix Auger-Aliassime (27:05). We discuss how this was a much better match than we expected, whether Auger-Aliassime can sustain this form, and small concern over Sinner’s serve heading into Sunday. Plus, is it ok if men’s tennis is all about Sinner and Alcaraz right now?
Part three - A results round-up and a preview of Amanda Anisimova vs Aryna Sabalenka. Matt’s big day is here. (47:31).
