About this listen
Part 2 is all about the men’s draw. Alvin, Torrey, and Ashley start with Jannik Sinner’s health after Cincinnati and whether an early test like Alexei Popyrin could make his first week tricky. They spotlight a great opening matchup (Nuno Borges vs Brandon Holt) and work through that quarter’s depth—including Tommy Paul’s form check and quick hits like Bublik–Čilić and Musetti vs Mpetshi Perricard.
The middle of the show covers Zverev’s section (with a likely Rublev R16 and a watch on Monfils), plus verdicts on Felix and Tsitsipas. Then it’s Djokovic’s path (starting with Lerner Tien and a “time-on-court” concern if opponents can drag him deep) before a full segment on Taylor Fritz—including teen landmines Mensik and Fonseca.
Down the stretch, the crew debates the best American hope (Fritz or Ben Shelton), does a deep dive on Shelton’s growth and draw, and weighs Carlos Alcaraz’s form and the current rivalry window with Sinner heading into New York. Final picks close it out.
