Zverev or Jodar. Who’s the rudest?
Catherine, David and Matt catch up on events in Shanghai and Wuhan with both tournaments reaching their climactic stages. Part one - Shanghai (00:00 - 28:34). With lots of players on their last legs at the end of the season, how does Alexander Zverev keep on winning?

Part three - News (48:57 - 1:15:29).
