About this episode
We're haters, fine, but Madrid is just not the tournament for us. We get an unappealing winner on the men's side but a first-time clay titlist in Aryna Sabalenka, peaking just in time for Roland Garros. Elsewhere, the ATP loosens -- nay, practically obliterates -- its bubble restrictions ahead of RG. In major coaching news, Sofia Kenin parts ways with her dad. And finally, James takes another quiz. Does he redeem his putrid performance from last week? You be the judge. 1:55 Madrid. It happens every year but we don't have to like it 4:40 The repeated failure of the ATP to say or do anything of substance on domestic violence (great at deleting Instagram comments though) 15:45 Aryna Sabalenka wins first clay title in Stuttgart rematch 21:55 And now we are in Rome: Djokovic and Serena return 32:50 The ATP bursts its bubble, vaccine or not! 38:25 American men's tennis declares its independence from the top 30; Pavs gives a revealing interview; short shorts are the moment 49:25 Kenin & Garcia split from their coach-dads 53:55 James takes another quiz!
