Shortly after attending media day, Catherine, David and Matt gather to reflect on what the players had to say ahead of the final Grand Slam tournament of the season. There’s chat about Jessica Pegula’s need to elevate at slams, lots of players dodging questions about Saudi Arabia, Coco Gauff’s relationship with new coach Brad Gilbert, Marketa Vondrousova’s experience so far at her first major since becoming Wimbledon champion, the way in which Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are dominating all discussion in men’s tennis, and much more. AO TRAVEL:Our US Open dailies this year are brought to you in partnership with AO Travel, who provide the Australian Open experience the easy way.
