Outspoken American Reilly Opelka has taken aim at doubles tennis questioning its place in the game — former player-now-coach Luke Saville joins Jon Hoevenaars, Viv Christie, and Dan Imhoff to react to Opelka’s comments and make the case for doubles remaining a mainstay on the tennis calendar. Teen sensation Mirra Andreeva is the youngest WTA 1000 titlist after defeating three major winners en route to the title — the panel discusses her iconic champion's speech and what’s next for the 17-year-old. Andrey Rublev has captured his second title in Doha defeating Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals, while Demon is holding onto his spot in the top 10 despite a first-round exit in Dubai. Three Aussie women are ranked inside the WTA Top 100 for the first time in three years after Maya Joint progressed to the Round of 16 in Merida, while Ajla Tomljanovic is on the verge of joining the 18-year-old along with Olivia Gadecki and Kim Birrell ahead of Indian Wells.
