Cousins Prove Dreams Can Come True

Cousins Prove Dreams Can Come True

Catherine, David and Matt recap a week headlined by a family fairytale in Shanghai and Coco Gauff’s title run in Wuhan.

Part one - ATP Shanghai. Valentin Vacherot became the lowest-ranked player ever to win a Masters 1000 title, doing so by beating his cousin, Arthur Rinderknech, in the final. We cover all the elements that made this story so special and wonder what might be next for both players. There’s also chat about the notable weeks that Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev both had.

Part two - WTA Wuhan (41:06). We discuss Gauff’s remarkable ability to bounce back from adversity and the smart, tactical tennis that helped her to lift the trophy. There’s also appreciation for Jessica Pegula breaking Aryna Sabalenka’s tiebreak streak and for Jasmine Paolini earning her first ever victory over Iga Swiatek. Plus, an update on the WTA Finals Race.

Part three - News (57:22). We react to Jack Draper’s decision to hire Jamie Delgado as his new head coach, the ITIA’s support programme for players facing integrity investigations, and the revamping of the One Point Slam. Have they taken away the spirit of the event?
