Episode Notes

We're back again to discuss the past week in Rome with the ATP and WTA tournament taking place there in the lead up to Roland Garros.

Djokovic wins his record 36th Masters title after being pushed by his opponents all week and still coming out on top, Halep finally wins Rome on her third attempt after Pliskova retires but how much of a favourite is Simona for the French now? Also talking about Schwartzman's impressive run and win over Nadal, whether Rafa will be hindered by a lack of match play before his favourite Slam of the year, Shapovalov's top ten debut, Azarenka's quick turnaround from the US Open, Musetti and Koepfer making an impact, and another set of Roland Garros predictions before the draw is made ahead of our official preview show at the end of the week.
