Catherine, David and Matt look back on the last few days of action in Rome and ahead to Finals weekend. 

Part one - WTA Results. We discuss Coco Gauff’s remarkable semi-final victory over Zheng Qinwen, the significance for Zheng of beating Aryna Sabalenka for the first time, Peyton Stearns’ incredible deciding set tiebreak win streak, and Jasmine Paolini’s run in front of her home crowd. 

Part two - ATP Results (from 32m15s). We cover the remarkable performance by Jannik Sinner to defeat Casper Ruud 6-0 6-1, Alexander Zverev’s bizarre comments following his loss to Lorenzo Musetti, and Tommy Paul having his truck repossessed. 

Part three - Reaction to the news that Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are no longer working together (from 62m13s).
