They recap Ben Shelton’s four-set win over Frances Tiafoe which featured a disputed 158-mph serve reading, before discussing what Tiafoe’s summer means going forward. 

Plus, they cover Zverev’s straight-sets win over Khachanov, his heavy baseline game, huge serving numbers, and lengthy pre-serve bounces, along with Sam’s on-court interview where Zverev shouts out the podcast.
