At the end of a special women's semi-finals day, the one and only Mary Carillo joined us on the pod. We talked about how much of a joy it is to watch Karolina Muchova play tennis, the way Aryna Sabalenka let it slip in the closing stages, how Iga Swiatek dug deep to see off the challenge of Beatriz Haddad Maia, and who we think will win out of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz on Friday.
