Show Notes
Tennis coach Calvin Betton, writer and broadcaster George Bellshaw and journalist James Gray look back at another packed week of tennis news...
- Carlos Alcaraz wins another title in Madrid but can anyone stop him in Rome or Paris?
- No love lost in the women's final but Aryna Sabalenka came out on top against Iga Swiatek - could we finally have a rivalry worth fighting for?
- What on earth was going on with the organisation in Madrid? And why were the women's doubles players gagged?
- Rafa Nadal will go into Roland Garros without a warm-up tournament for the first time in his career - does he stand a chance?
- Maybe four months out of the limelight will be the making of Emma Raducanu?
LISTENER QUESTIONS
Peanut: Now that Rafa has withdrawn from Rome, do you think he will play RG and if he does, will he have a chance to win it?
Errol Samuel: What do the players check for when they receive the balls to pick before they serve.

Kirit Mookerjee: What possible reason for Madrid organisers to eliminate speeches for women's doubles trophy ceremony?
