(VIDEO) The US Open Aftermath: Will Zverev Become No.1? Was The Women’s Draw Better Than The Men’s? Is It Time To Change the Rules?

Ubitennis chief Ubaldo Scanagatta and tennis Hall of Famer take a close look at recent developments in tennis.

Was the women’s US Open tournament superior to the men’s?

For the first time since 1975, all four top seeds reached the semifinals. Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka delivered a great final. The semifinals were also spectacular, including the match between Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva, with the Russian missing two match points.

In the men’s tournament, Alexander Zverev deservedly won his first Grand Slam and takes the lead in the PIF ATP Race to Turin. But can he really finish the year ahead of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the official rankings?

Scanagatta also picks out his best match of the US Open: Shelton vs Alcaraz. Another topic is Zverev’s 20,000 ball bounces before serving.

As for addressing the late-night finishes, Scanagatta has his own ideas. This includes changing the rules by introducing a 15-second time limit for second-serve preparation and, above all, setting more rational times for centre-court sessions!

On top of the US Open, Flink provides some insight into his latest book – The Immortals of American Tennis. A close look at America’s greatest tennis players of all time and how they have managed to establish themselves as legends in the sport.
