Summary
Catherine, David and Matt were live at the end of Day 5 as a series of brilliant Last 16 women’s matches were set up. We discuss the good mental place Naomi Osaka is in this tournament and whether she can finally trouble Aryna Sabalenka, whether Barbora Krejickova’s closing problem will be an issue for her against Karolina Muchova, how Iva Jovic doesn’t feel out of place in the line-up despite her age, and who the favourite is between Coco Gauff and Belinda Bencic. In part two (32:41) we discuss Novak Djokovic’s entertaining win over Arthur Rinderknech, the room for improvement that remains for Jannik Sinner despite his best performance of the week, brilliant wins for Roman Safiullin and Shintaro Mochizuki, and a shocking loss for Daniil Medvedev. Looking ahead to day six (1:02:35), will Serena and Venus Williams play doubles? And which court will they be on? For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend .
