Calvin Betton, James Gray and George Bellshaw are here to look back on Rome and start thinking about Roland Garros favourites...
- Jannik Sinner became only the second man to win every single Masters event since it was introduced in 1990, joining Novak Djokovic in extremely rarefied air
- Can anyone stop Sinner? Probably not, but his own body might betray him... as Daniil Medvedev nearly found out
- Alexander Zverev will be No 2 in Paris but was unhappy with court in Rome, blaming the clay for his defeat to Luciano Darderi
- Elina Svitolina won arguably the biggest title of her career, beating Coco Gauff after already knocking off Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina to claim the title
- Svitolina is now the first Ukrainian player to win 20 WTA titles PLUS...
- Andy Murray is back in a coaching box after agreeing to work with Jack Draper for the grass-court season, including Wimbledon
- Emma Raducanu has re-hired Andrew Richardson, the man who guided her to the 2021 US Open title, to coach her nearly five years after letting him go NEWS
- Andy Murray is to coach Jack Draper over the course of the grass court season “I am very grateful for everything Jamie Delgado has done for me over these past six months. “He is a world class coach and a great man. “In the interim, I will continue to be supported by the excellent team at the LTA, with the addition of Andy Murray, who will be supporting me throughout the grass court season.”
- In other coaching news, Emma Raducanu has announced she is back with Andrew Richardson, the man who coached her to US Open glory five years ago. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
