As the US Open nears a first ever New York clash between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the Tennis Podcast team are joined by award-winning American commentator Mary Carillo to talk about the tournament so far, and preview what is to come.
As a New Yorker, who has worked for decades for CBS, NBC and now The Tennis Channel, covering countless Grand Slam tennis tournaments and 13 Summer and Winter Olympic games, Carillo gives her verdict on why her city loves comeback king Juan Martin del Potro, and what a Federer vs. Nadal match would mean in The Big Apple. Federer and Nadal remain one match away from meeting, with Nadal against exciting 19-year-old Andrey Rublev, and then Federer vs. Del Potro on Wednesday evening.
A tournament full of human interest stories and unlikely comebacks continued its theme on Tuesday when Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens reached the semifinals. Williams first played the US Open in 1997, reaching the final. Twenty years on, she is one step away from doing the same again. Stephens required foot surgery and missed the best part of a year of her career recently, but she is back and enjoying the best fortnight of her career.
Elsewhere, Pablo Carreno Busta and Sam Querrey reached their first career Grand Slam semifinals and will clash for a place in the final. Carillo tells us about the Querrey she knows.
The matches will be screened exclusively on Eurosport, with live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra from 5pm UK time.
A new edition of The Tennis Podcast is available to download after play every day during the US Open. 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.
