What's happened since the US Open? The answer is quite a lot. Catherine, David and Matt catch up on all the Davis Cup results which saw Carlos Alcaraz thrive, Great Britain lose, and lots of frustration about scheduling as the sport reaches breaking point. There's also Rafael Nadal's withdrawal from Laver Cup and what that might mean, a first WTA title for both Sonay Kartal and Magdalena Frech, and Naomi Osaka's split with Wim Fissette and rumoured partnership with Patrick Mouratoglou.
