US Open Day 7 - Gauff, Jovic rescue bad day for USA

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to a dramatic day at the US Open which was headlined by tough results for some American players.

Part one - Day session. Labour Day weekend began in difficult fashion for the hosts as Amanda Anisimova lost to Anastasia Potapova, Taylor Fritz let a two set lead slip, and Madison Keys lost from 5-0 up in the decider against the magnificent Zheng Qinwen. We cover all the matches and the emotional press conferences that followed. Plus there’s chat about Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff both winning in straight sets but still being tested.

Part two - Night session (32:45). We discuss Iva Jovic’s thrilling win over Alexandra Eala, Naomi Osaka leaving her heart out on the court to beat Elise Mertens, and a brilliant five set win for Botic van de Zandschulp.

Part three (51:17) - Sunday preview as blockbuster match ups begin. Can either Taylor Townsend or Tommy Paul upset Aryna Sabalenka or Carlos Alcaraz?
