Has Laver Cup won us over?

Catherine, David and Matt are here, unusually, on a Tuesday to look back on Laver Cup, Iga Swiatek’s title in Seoul, and a couple of ATP events in China.

Part one - Laver Cup. We start by hearing from The Athletic’s Matt Futterman who spent the weekend in San Francisco at Laver Cup. He explains why and how he entered the week with skepticism only to be won over by the crowds, the format and the vibe of the event. After that, despite promising not to get into an existential discussion about Laver Cup like we always do, we get into an existential discussion about Laver Cup.

Part two - Tour results (36m41s). We cover Iga Swiatek’s victory in Seoul, her gutsy performance to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova in a dramatic final, and the race for year-end #1 on the WTA Tour. On the men’s side, there’s chat about Alejandro Tabilo’s sudden resurgence to triumph in Chengdu, the utter devastation for beaten finalist Lorenzo Musetti, and whether Alexander Bublik can qualify for Turin after his fourth title of the season.

Part three - Preview of the week ahead (59m47s). We discuss what to expect from a stacked field for the WTA 1000 in Beijing as well as two ATP 500 events in Beijing and Tokyo.
