Clear, steady English at A2, with a full transcript. In this episode: Coco Gauff fights back from a bad start in New York and reaches the US Open semifinals after saving two match points. Also: Scientists find very old signs that people in Indonesia may have used mind-altering betel nuts 25,000 years ago.

Vocabulary: relief (a good feeling when worry ends), rally (a long exchange of hits in tennis), pressure (a strong feeling that you must do well).
