The Tour Catch-Up: Barty sizzles in Cincy heat; Zverev makes US Open statement; Osaka presser drama; Big 3-less Laver Cup teams set; Nadal & Thiem seasons end; Raducanu rises up in Chicago

In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim catchup on the main action from the Cincinnati Masters. With Sascha Zverev and Ash Barty clinching the titles in Cincinnati in comprehensive fashion, Joel and Kim reflect on the finals and key talking points from the past week on tour, including that very awkward Osaka press conference and Benoit Paire being back to winning ways. With Rafa Nadal and Dominic Thiem announcing the end of their 2021 seasons due to injury, the line-ups for this year’s Laver Cup being announced and Emma Raducanu making a WTA final out in Chicago, there is plenty for Joel and Kim to get their teeth into this week as we hurtle towards the US Open.
