Medvedev and Alcaraz are BACK, Swiatek's big decision and the Russia debate returns

Calvin Betton is back in the UK and joins George Bellshaw and James Gray, of inews.co.uk and the i newspaper to talk about all the biggest stories in tennis this week. Has Daniil Medvedev rediscovered his mojo? How can Carlos Alcaraz just hit the ground running so easily? Will we see that much of Iga Swiatek in 2023? What is Cam Norrie's schedule all about? And we try to answer your questions... Danny Rogers: " if Olympics' decision to allow Russian athletes causes a major boycott, doesn't that impact on the pressure on AELTC and LTA to re-admit Russians?" BuyandSold: "What is Adrian Mannarino doing that makes his game seem so different from every other player, and why nobody else does it. Also, he has a career high ranking of 22, what would it have been if he was right handed?" Ian Warren: "Does Emma Raducanu deserve a wild card for Indian Wells?" Rugby Posts: "What is the best surface to train on for overall player development? I feel like clay being slower, trickier & bouncing higher forces you to develop more racquet/ball skills which = better overall?!” Nikos Biggs-Chiropoulos: "I had the idea a few years ago that Miami should be on green clay. That surface has faded in pro tennis since the US Open used it ages ago, but it seems like it would be the perfect segue between hard and clay court seasons and help make the event unique (plus use a surface that’s quite common in the US, including Florida).
