US Open Day 7 - Kvitova Stuns Muguruza To Meet Venus; Querrey New US No.1; Shapovalov Odyssey Ends; Will Nadal vs. Federer Happen?

Middle Sunday at Wimbledon is a day of rest, but not at the US Open, and not for The Tennis Podcast team. The rain frustrated for a while, but all the matches were played, with some stunning performances along the way.

Petra Kvitova was awesome in her straight sets defeat of pre-tournament favourite Garbine Muguruza. Could she win the title less than a year after she was attacked with a knife in her own home? Venus Williams was also victorious and will be Kvitova’s next opponent.

Sam Querrey followed Venus on to the court and hit an extraordinary 55 winners and only 8 unforced errors to thrash Mischa Zverev. One of Querrey, Kevin Anderson, Pablo Carreno Busta and Diego Schwartzman will compete for a place in their first Gran Slam final. Who will prevail?

The US Open odyssey of exciting 18-year-old Denis Shapovalov came to an end when Carreno Busta edged him out in three tie-break sets. What’s next for the kid from Canada?

And finally, will the Nadal vs. Federer semifinal match actually happen?

A new edition of The Tennis Podcast is available to download after play every day during the US Open. Presented by broadcasters Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport, BBC 5 Live) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport), it is produced weekly throughout the year, and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments, in association with Telegraph Sport and Eurosport.
