Show Notes

Molly McElwee (Substack here: https://mollymcelwee.substack.com/) joins James Gray, Calvin Betton and George Bellshaw to talk about a busy and often fraught week of tennis.


  • Emma Raducanu was approached by a stalker in Dubai, who allegedly followed her across four tournaments, and burst into tears on court, triggering widespread discussion of women's safety in tennis
  • On the court, Mirra Andreeva won the title, beating Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek back to back
  • Andrey Rublev won the men's title in Doha, beating Jack Draper in the final - but it was Stefanos Tsitsipas's remarkable defeat to Hamad Medjedovic that really caught the eye
  • Reilly Opelka says it's time to get rid of doubles - and it backfired badly
