Matt Futterman on Sinner's New York State of Mind, Nakashima's Arrival, Sabalenka's Apex And More From The Start Of The US Open
Description
The Athletic's Senior Tennis Writer Matt Futterman returns to the podcast to discuss a fast and furious start to the 2024 US Open, with tons of dramatic action all across The Big Apple. Futterman assesses Jannik Sinner's ability to handle the surrounding noise, Carlos Alcaraz's ability to bounce back, and Novak Djokovic's path to a record-setting 25th major singles title. The journalist also examines Brandon Nakashima's successful summer, Frances Tiafoe & Ben Shelton's pending matchup, and whether an Holger Rune & Stefanos Tsitsipas can bounce back.
And on the women's side, Futterman breaks down Aryna Sabalenka's successful start, and whether Iga Swiatek can find her footing on the hard courts. He also looks at whether Coco Gauff can recapture her magic from last year's title-winning run, and if Naomi Osaka, Emma Navarro or another sleeper can make noise in New York City. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
