We cover Jannik Sinner’s incredible serving as he completed the set of big titles on hard courts and and a remarkable return to form for Daniil Medvedev who handed Carlos Alcaraz his first defeat of the season in the semi-finals. There’s also chat about the positives vibes we’re feeling about the current state of the ATP and yet more hindrance drama.
