Tour Catch-Up: Opelka wins Battle of Bots, Bencic resurgent in Charleston and ‘Halep-atoglou’ begins

In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim roundup the past week of action on the ATP and WTA Tours. With Belinda Bencic winning her first clay court title on the green clay of Charleston, David Goffin back to winning ways in Marrakesh and Tatjana Maria being lauded as the first WTA Title winning Mum of Two this century with her victory in Bogota, there is plenty to round up. Not to mention Opelka beating John Isner in a match involving an actual break of serve! Joel and Kim also discuss the concept of byes in tournaments, the news that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will retire after the French Open, the ATP’s announcement of stricter player behaviour punishments and they throw in another rendition of Mysterious Player for good measure.
