Is the tennis news story of the year about to drop?! Is Carlos Alcaraz’s former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero about to coach Jannik Sinner in 2027?! In other news Holger Rune is BACK, Great Britain are through to the Davis Cup Final 8 and the USA have somehow crashed out! Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ for our first post-US Open tour catch-up as we get stuck into Rune’s emotional return after 11 months out with an Achilles injury. Can the Dane get his career back on track, and could he cause some serious problems for Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner again? We also celebrate Great Britain reaching the Davis Cup Final 8 without Jack Draper or Cameron Norrie — could Arthur Fery lead the charge in Bologna? Meanwhile, Ben Shelton’s Davis Cup struggles continued as the USA suffered a shock defeat to Czechia. Should Shelton have played, and why does the US keep underperforming in this competition?
Plus, we discuss Draper calling time on his season and Joe Salisbury’s retirement after a hugely successful career, while Iva Jovic defended her Guadalajara title in style and Kaitlin Quevedo claimed her first WTA title. We preview the Laver Cup as Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev headline Team Europe’s return to London. Can Team Europe reclaim the trophy, or will Team World continue their recent dominance?
