Krejcikova beats Swiatek in a final!!! Do we have a rivalry at last???
b'
Ostrava!!! is fast becoming one of our favourite tournaments of the year and last week it lived up to its exclamation marks with an epic final between Barbora Krejcikova and Iga Swiatek.
How did Krejcikova manage to do what no else could this year and beat Swiatek in a final? Where has this surge in form come from? And could Krejcikova and Swiatek develop a compelling WTA rivalry?
Elsewhere, Catherine, David and Matt chat about Caty McNally and Alycia Parks teaming up to win the Ostrava!!! doubles title, Ons Jabeur\\u2019s mini run in Monastir, Novak Djokovic\\u2019s winning streak and ATP Finals qualification, the state of Stefanos Tsitsipas\\u2019 game, Daniil Medvedev\\u2019s sudden retirement in Astana, and Taylor Fritz\\u2019s run to the title in Tokyo which started with covid quarantine in Seoul.
