Montreal/Toronto - Are Alexander Zverev and Elina Svitolina US Open Favourites? How Bad Is Roger Federer’s Injury? The Big Nick Kyrgios Argument

Another week and another piece of evidence that both Alexander Zverev and Elina Svitolina are the real deal in tennis terms.

Both Zverev and Svitolina won their fifth titles of 2017 in Montreal and Toronto respectively, and with the US Open just around the corner, the Tennis Podcast team are wondering whether they might reproduce those wins in the Big Apple?

Zverev saw off Roger Federer in straight sets, inflicting only the third defeat of the year on the 19-time Grand Slam champion. But as well as Zverev played in his 6-3, 6-4 win, the talk between pod presenters Catherine Whitaker and David Law was as much about the apparent injury Federer was suffering from in the second set. How bad did it look? Should he pull out of Cincinnati? And will Nadal beat him to World No.1?

Sviolina swept aside Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-0, but has yet to reproduce her stunning WTA tour form at the Grand Slam tournaments. Will that change in New York?

The podcast team also discuss the arrival of 18-year-old Denis Shapovalov, who shocked Nadal last week, and then conversation turns to Nick Kyrgios. It gets heated.
