An monumental U.S. Open Championships comes to a close. A new slam champion emerges on the men's side, as 'this gen' bad boy and entertainer Daniil Medvedev pulls off the improbable -- ending the 27 grand slam match win stream of Novak Djokovic, and in the process, halting Nole's quest for the calendar grand slam with a convincing victory. The guys discuss the deft play of Daniil, and the transformation of Djokovic throughout the fortnight, and in real time during that final.

A different, yet equally remarkable story concluded on the women's side, with the first ever qualifier going all the way to take the title. The upstart from Great Britain Emma Raducanu captured the imagination of the tennis world and the New York crowd, winning 10 matches and not dropping a set on route to her first grand slam title, and only her second main draw slam appearance. Equally stealing hearts, and having a seemingly tougher draw was Canada's newest sensation Leylah Fernandez, coming up short in what was truly a miraculous and unforgettable run to the final.

The guys dive deeper into each final match-up, review the runs of Zverev and FAA, discuss the looks of tennis elites at the Met Gala, and their own run to the finals in doubles at the GLTA event in Montreal, their tournament in two years.
