There's not much left to say about Leylah Annie Fernandez on her incredible run to the semi-finals of the U.S. Open. But the guys know she'll continue writing her story, and they'll continue to live for it.

Stealing the show, and the hearts of the New York crowd and fans world wide, the guys reflect on their interview with Leylah Fernandez back in April as they go through the highlights of her amazing run in defeating two former U.S. Open champions and three consecutive wins against Top 20 players including Osaka, Kerber and Svitolina. With Sabalenka up next, can Leylah's dream run bring her to the title and her goal of being Top 10 by year's end?

Aldwin & Jason review all the stories from this year's exceptional tournament. From Emma Raducanu's second straight run at a slam to Carlos Alcaraz, the third of this trio of 18 year olds making a deep run, who post-recording of this episode would unfortunately retire in his quarter-final due to injury. 

Sticking with Canada, it would be FAA benefiting from that Alcarez's retirement to secure his first slam semi against Daniil Medvedev, with the guys conflicted in their choice in the top half of the draw. Will a young gun like Berretini or even Lloyd Harris make it deep, or can Zverev continue his summer winning ways? 

Lest we forget the guy to beat: Novak Djokovic... just three wins away from the calendar grand slam, and slam #21!

With new stars emerging, the guys wonder if everyone is ready for this new guard, or still clamouring for the injured greats of the sport. They already have their answer.
