Today on The Sports Agents, Gabby & Mark reflect on Emma Raducanu's tearful first-round exit at the US Open - three years on from her fairytale win in New York - Is there a target on her back and who put it there?

Plus, as the transfer window prepares to slam shut for another summer with Premier League spending down 10%, 'super-agent' Jon Smith helps us dig into the reasons why and brings an insight into what it's really like at clubs trying to get that last-minute deal over the line in time!

Later, Anna Smith, former British tennis player turned co-commentator, explains how Raducanu needs to find stability and consistency to rediscover her best form.

Plus is Louis Rees-Zammit's NFL dream over? And a Paralympic scandal from the year 2000 involving basketball and fake beards.
