On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross unpacks Valentin Vacherot’s stunning run at the Rolex Shanghai Masters. The world No. 204 came through qualifying to win his first ever ATP title, beating Novak Djokovic in the semifinals and his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in an improbable final. We’ll discuss Vacherot’s strength as a player, why Rinderknech almost won it with his forehand and how the match turned around. Then, Joel Drucker and Amy Lundy join to discuss the missed opportunity for Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, along with the much maligned Shanghai conditions, both weather and court.0:00 Intro7:56 Vacherot Strengths13:50 Forehand Comparisons19:45 Match Turnaround26:26 Daniil Medvedev37:30 Novak Djokovic45:45 Shanghai Conditions IG: https://www.instagram.com/gillgross_/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gill.gross24/7 Tennis Community on Discord: https://discord.gg/wW3WPqFTFJTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/Gill_GrossThe Draw newsletter, your one-stop-shop for the best tennis content on the internet every week: https://www.thedraw.tennis/subscribeBecome a member to support the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvERpLl9dXH09fuNdbyiLQQ/joinEvans Brothers Coffee Roasters, the Official Coffee Of Monday Match Analysis... use code GILLGROSS25 for 25% off your first order: https://evansbrotherscoffee.com/collections/coffeeAUDIO PODCAST FEEDSSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5c3VXnLDVVgLfZuGk3yxIF?si=AQy9oRlZTACoGr5XS3s_ygItunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/monday-match-analysis/id1432259450?mt=2 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On a special interview edition of Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross is joined by former top-5 player Jimmy Arias to discuss the evolution of tennis and the modern game. One of the most fascinating things about tennis, is how it has continued to change over the years. I think we’ve reached a point where it’s starting to become clear how 2020s tennis is going to be viewed as an evolution. It’s one thing looking at Sinner and Alcaraz- that’s only two players. It’s when you start considering: Fils, Rune, Lehecka, Fonseca, Cobolli, and Draper… not to to say they’re all the same. But you can start to see a prototype forming for the modern player of the mid to late 2020s.

On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross breaks down Carlos Alcaraz's 6-4 6-4 win over Taylor Fritz in the final of the Tokyo 500, which reversed the Laver Cup result from just over a week ago. We'll discuss how this recent run of form has turned Alcaraz's season into an all-timer, his use of the dropshot and backhand tactics. We'll also look at Fritz's attempt to replicate the Laver Cup match- where did this match deviate? Then, we'll get into the Shanghai Masters 1000 Preview. Alcaraz has pulled out but reigning champion Jannik Sinner and last year's finalist Novak Djokovic are both present. We'll go quarter-by-quarter in the draw and name dark horses, upset alerts, early popcorn matches and predictions.0:00 Intro1:00 Alcaraz 90 Percent2:20 Laver Cup Revenge4:20 Alcaraz Tactics9:10 Fritz’s Attempt To Replicate19:10 Shanghai Intro22:35 De Minaur’s Q30:47 Zverev’s Q36:15 Djokovic’s Q43:45 Sinner’s Q48:22 Final Weekend IG: https://www.instagram.com/gillgross_/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gill.gross24/7 Tennis Community on Discord: https://discord.gg/wW3WPqFTFJTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/Gill_GrossThe Draw newsletter, your one-stop-shop for the best tennis content on the internet every week: https://www.thedraw.tennis/subscribeBecome a member to support the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvERpLl9dXH09fuNdbyiLQQ/joinEvans Brothers Coffee Roasters, the Official Coffee Of Monday Match Analysis... use code GILLGROSS25 for 25% off your first order: https://evansbrotherscoffee.com/collections/coffeeAUDIO PODCAST FEEDSSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5c3VXnLDVVgLfZuGk3yxIF?si=AQy9oRlZTACoGr5XS3s_ygItunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/monday-match-analysis/id1432259450?mt=2 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
