The Asian swing is in full flow and what a treat we had in Beijing as Carlos Alcaraz battled back from the brink to defeat World Number 1 Jannik Sinner in a final set tiebreak. And that wasn't even the biggest news of the week for the Italian who expressed his 'surprise' at the World Anti-Doping Agency looking for a lengthy ban over his positive drug tests.Elsewhere in Beijing, the WTA has reached the quarter-finals stage as Sabalenka continues to run riot whilst Paula Badosa is also making a charge up the ranking towards the Top 10.

Semis, semis, semis and there was a bit of everything on show at the US Open - including a bit of Jack Draper vom on the tennis court. That aside, it was Jannik Sinner who reached his first Grand Slam final in Flushing Meadows with a straight sets victory over the Brit in conditions that pushed both competitors to the limit.And the Italian will go on to face Taylor Fritz who became the first American since 2009 to reach a Major final (Andy Roddick at Wimbledon!) with a five set win over Frances Tiafoe who was running on empty by the end. And in the women’s draw, we may not have got the Battle of the Billionaire daughters but Jessica Pegula powered into her debut Slam final with a three set win over Karolina Muchova to set up an intriguing duel with Aryna Sabalenka who is chasing her second Major title of the season.Lots to discuss as always with Joel, Kim and Chris including a look ahead to the two finals this weekend and who we think will come out as the victors.FUNGIBALLJoin the Revolution in Tennis Gaming with Fungiball at www.fungiball.io! 🎾 Collect, Trade, Compete every week– all while backing your favorite players on a cutting-edge tennis game.Cryptocurrencies and NFTS are unregulated in some markets including the UKNFT profits may be subject to taxation such as Capital Gains TaxThe value of investments is variable and can go down as well as upAdditional fees may applySOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show [email protected] Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

The Americans are coming for a US Open title with 4 American players into the last 4 across the men’s and women’s events. Could it be an all American double and one of Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe taking home the title along with Jessica Pegula or Emma Navarro? Trying to stop the American party in New York is World Number 1 Jannik Sinner who got his revenge over Daniil Medvedev for his Wimbledon loss and set up a semi-final against Britain’s Jack Draper. Draper is the first British player to make the semi-final’s since Andy Murray won the title in 2012. Can he match the achievement this weekend? Elsewhere Karolina Muchova made it into the last 4 for the second successive year having missed the first two slams of the season through injury. She had to battle a stomach bug as well as Haddad Maia but made sure she sealed her place in the last 4. Joel and Chris also make predictions as to who will win the semi-finals and what the scoreline will be so make sure you let us know if you agree with them!FUNGIBALLJoin the Revolution in Tennis Gaming with Fungiball at www.fungiball.io! 🎾 Collect, Trade, Compete every week– all while backing your favorite players on a cutting-edge tennis game.Cryptocurrencies and NFTS are unregulated in some markets including the UKNFT profits may be subject to taxation such as Capital Gains TaxThe value of investments is variable and can go down as well as upAdditional fees may applySOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show [email protected] Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
