US Open Day 3 - Top seed Pliskova sent packing; Kiki kicks off; Djokovic survives lost set

After 29 of the 32 seeds reached round two in the women's singles event, Wednesday saw many of them tumble, including Karolina Pliskova. We try to figure out, yet again, why her recent Grand Slam record is so poor. We also chat about Kiki Mladenovic's loss from 6-1 5-1 up, discuss her colourful comments about the restrictions placed upon her following her contact with Benoit Paire, and analyse Kyle Edmund's mid-match deflation against Novak Djokovic.

Approximate episode time stamps:

0.00 - 15.00 Zverev and Mladenovic

20 minutes - Garcia vs. Pliskova

30 minutes - Novak Djokovic vs. Kyle Edmund

40 minutes - Thursday preview
