Sloane Stephens completed one of the most remarkable injury comebacks in recent memory to win her first Grand Slam title, and the Tennis Podcast convened to talk about it.
Stephens beat compatriot Madison Keys 6-3, 6-0 in a contest as one-sided as it sounds. So why was the scoreline so lopsided? Was Stephens that good, Keys that bad, or a combination of the two?
How did Stephens recover from surgery and a ranking of nearly 1,000 to win the US Open inside a year? And will she go on to win more in the future?
Tennis Podcast presenter David Law and Telegraph Tennis Correspondent Simon Briggs also discuss the fifth Grand Slam doubles/mixed doubles title won by Britain’s Jamie Murray (alongside Martina Hingis this time), and a marathon wheelchair singles match between Britain’s Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid.
Then they look ahead to Sunday’s men’s singles final between Rafael Nadal and Kevin Anderson. What can Anderson do to take the title?
Eurosport will be on air for the men’s final at 8.30pm UK time. It will also be broadcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live.
A Tennis Podcast will be available to download after play. 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. www.tennispodcast.net
