US Open, Round One: Medvemeltdown, Alcaraz buzzing and a mixed reception

George Bellshaw is all at sea - literally - while Calvin Betton is in NYC (that rhymes!) and James Gray is trying to wrangle them together from London.

In a unique "voicenote" format, the Tennis Unfiltered crew unpick...

• Daniil Medvedev's Bonzi-infused meltdown earned him a massive fine, a first-round defeat and a fair bit of flak - but did he deserve it?
• Carlos Alcaraz has got a buzz cut and a new vibe, but he still had hair when he was trying to win the mixed doubles (and failing)
• Venus Williams is a 45-year-old wildcard, but she was beaten by Karolina Muchova. Was it really worth it?
