US Open - The Big Preview

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by Charlie Eccleshare from The Athletic ahead of the first Sunday start at the US Open.

Part one - Press conferences. We cover the news that Novak Djokovic might be about to work with Monica Seles, good vibes from both Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, how Amanda Anisimova is processing the Wimbledon final experience, some concern over Jack Draper’s fitness, and a fascinating chat with Naomi Osaka as she reflected on what happened in Montreal and her new partnership with Tomasz Wiktorowski.

Part two - Tournament predictions (47:22). Charlie gives his winners and finalists, we pick out some potential surprise packages, and there’s a look at which top seeds could be vulnerable.

Part three - a rundown of the day one order of play (1:05:48).
