Alcaraz vs Sinner delivers; Fils finds new level

Catherine, David and Matt are back with a bonus pod to react to Carlos Alcaraz’s thrilling win over Jannik Sinner in the Beijing final. There’s chat about why the match was so electrifying and how Alcaraz has gained the upper hand in their rivalry this year. 

Elsewhere, David gets the chance to wax lyrical about Arthur Fils’ incredible title run in Tokyo, we think about what 2025 might look like for Fils, and there’s a round up of the latest action from WTA Beijing, including an impressive run to the quarter-finals from Yulia Starodubtseva, an unfortunate injury to Naomi Osaka which curtailed her match against Coco Gauff, and lots of excitement for Karolina Muchova vs Aryna Sabalenka.
