The Western & Southern Open is in the books, and its champions Ashleigh Barty and Sascha Zverev are poised to make deep runs as among the favourites heading into next week's U.S. Open.
In the early days of this podcast, the guys forgot who was the #1 player in the world on the ladies side... Ash is making the guys eat their word, with Aldwin and Jason discussing whether she is starting her own era of dominance the likes of former greats like Seles, Graf and Hingis. With the beauty of her play and ease of victories this week, would you agree, or is it still too soon to compare her to such tennis legends?
For the first time in nine years the top for seeds make a Masters 1,000 semi final on the men's side... and none of them are the big three. The guys reflect on this new era and the exciting transitional period we're seeing in men's tennis.
Of course, Aldwin and Jason discuss Aldwin's ex's (Tsitsipas for new listeners) propensity for mid-match potty breaks, which was called out by Zverev in their semi-final encounter. The guys witnessed this in Toronto last week in matches against both Humbert and Ruud.
Jason starts the show by inviting a therapy session on his recent poor on court play... against the opponent (and doubles partner) who has his number, as the guys head into their first GLTA tournament in two years in Montreal over Labour Day Weekend.
