Episode Description

From San Francisco to Seoul and Shenzhen, it’s been a non-stop week of tennis drama. Join Kim and Chris as they unpack all the action, from the Laver Cup to the Billie Jean King Cup finals. Team World reigned supreme in San Francisco with a dramatic Laver Cup victory under new captain Andre Agassi, as Taylor Fritz sealed the trophy in style against Alexander Zverev, just days after his shock win over Carlos Alcaraz.


In Shenzhen, Italy once again defended their Billie Jean King Cup crown, with Jasmine Paolini and Elisabetta Cocciaretto powering past Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro despite unfavourable head-to-head records. Meanwhile in Seoul, Iga Swiatek battled past Ekaterina Alexandrova to clinch her 25th career title, while Emma Raducanu’s return to the court ended in heartbreak against Barbora Krejcikova.


We also look ahead to the WTA 1000 in Beijing, where Coco Gauff is aiming to defend her title in the absence of World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, and the ATP 500 in Tokyo, where Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz could be set for another showdown.
