Episode notes
James Gray, Calvin Betton and George Bellshaw are all back around the microphones to discuss another week of tennis news - and as we always say, what a week!
Here's what they talked about
- Jannik Sinner crushed his pigeon Alexander Zverev in the men's final to claim a fifth straight Masters title
- Eight years after breaking through as a 15-year-old, Marta Kostyuk finally won the biggest title of her career and then of course failed to shake hands with her Russian opponent Mirra Andreeva
- Calvin had to coach both sides of semi-final but the match was marred by a horrific warm-up injury...
- ...but Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara did at least win the title a day later to sweeten the pill a little
- Kei Nishikori announces his retirement (and it's not fake news this time)
- Jack Draper is out of the French Open with a new injury
- Novak Djokovic is back in Rome
And so much more!
