Zverev secures No.1; Will Zheng Qinwen win a major?

Catherine, David and Matt discuss Zheng Qinwen’s title at home in Beijing and a shock defeat for Carlos Alcaraz in Shanghai.

Part one (00:00 - 26:08) We cover Zheng’s brilliant performance in the final to beat Mirra Andreeva, her post-match karaoke, and what the potential ceiling of her game could be.

Part two (26:09 - 53:18) In Shanghai, we react to Zizou Bergs beating an irritable Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev securing the year-end world number one ranking, and a tough set of results for lots of the Americans, especially Taylor Fritz losing out to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Part three (53:19 - 1:06:16) Preview and predictions as WTA Wuhan gets underway. Who needs a big week with the Race to the WTA Finals reaching its climax?
