Cincinnati - Kerber Comes Up One Match Short; Cilic Conquers Murray But Brit In Perfect Pre-US Open Shape; On-Court Coaching Time Machine

Angelique Kerber stood on the brink of World Number One, but ran into Karolina Pliskova playing at the very top of her game.

Andy Murray faced something similar in Marin Cilic, who won his first Masters 1000 title. But despite the defeat, podcast presenters David Law and Catherine Whitaker reckon he is in perfect position ahead of next week’s US Open in New York.

Grigor Dimitrov, the Tennis Podcast’s favourite player, started to look like his old self last week. Is he back?

And, as on-court coaching became a factor again last week in Cincinnati, we ask which matches might have changed history had on-court coaching been a factor.
