While there have been some excellent matches in Toronto and Montreal, we begin by discussing the unfortunate news that none of the Big 3 nor Serena Williams will play again before the US Open, after Rafael Nadal\\u2019s ongoing foot problem has forced him to return home and Serena\\u2019s leg injury from Wimbledon will prevent her from playing Cincinnati next week. Will New York be last chance saloon? 

Turning our attention to the week\\u2019s tennis, Catherine, David and Matt talk about how nice it is to see Bianca Andreescu and Simona Halep back on court, review a bittersweet week for Johanna Konta, make some big Coco Gauff predictions, explain why Aryna Sabalenka continues to impress, try to figure out why Maria Sakkari keeps losing close matches, and dissect what went wrong for Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov. 

There\\u2019s also a tangential debate about whether there\\u2019s too much faff in tennis and what - if anything - can be done about it. 

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.
