Ostrava!!! is fast becoming one of our favourite tournaments of the year and last week it lived up to its exclamation marks with an epic final between Barbora Krejcikova and Iga Swiatek.
How did Krejcikova manage to do what no else could this year and beat Swiatek in a final? Where has this surge in form come from? And could Krejcikova and Swiatek develop a compelling WTA rivalry?
Elsewhere, Catherine, David and Matt chat about Caty McNally and Alycia Parks teaming up to win the Ostrava!!! doubles title, Ons Jabeur’s mini run in Monastir, Novak Djokovic’s winning streak and ATP Finals qualification, the state of Stefanos Tsitsipas’ game, Daniil Medvedev’s sudden retirement in Astana, and Taylor Fritz’s run to the title in Tokyo which started with covid quarantine in Seoul.
