The Tennis Podcast: Will Serena Williams ever reach 24 Grand Slams?
Serena Williams’s pursuit of a 24th Grand Slam title goes on after she lost her fourth final in a row. But this one felt different. This time she was out-played, out-served, out-hit and out-fought by Bianca Andreescu, the 19 year-old who has now won all eight of her matches against Top 10 players and looks set to take over the tennis world.
Presenters Catherine Whitaker (Amazon Prime Video, Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport) convene on The Tennis Podcast to discuss the significance of a stunning night in New York.
How did Andreescu manage to withstand Serena’s second-set comeback? Are these Grand Slam-final defeats beginning to erode Serena’s locker-room aura? Is it still true that Serena’s best tennis is the very best? And what sets Andreescu apart from all the other promising young players on tour?
Elsewhere, there’s chat about Jamie Murray’s third straight mixed-doubles title, the unstoppable form of men’s doubles champions Robert Farah and Juan Sebastian Cabal, and a preview of Daniil Medvedev vs Rafael Nadal.
The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year, in association with The Telegraph.
