It’s been another packed week on the ATP and WTA Tours, so join Joel, Chris, and a special guest appearance from Alina as they break down all the big stories from Tennis Weekly HQ.

Jannik Sinner dominated Carlos Alcaraz to capture the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, pocketing a record $6 million payday — but what did we really learn from their latest showdown? Is indoor hard court still Sinner’s territory, and what to make of Alcaraz’s comments on the packed tennis calendar? Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev finally returned to the winners’ circle in Almaty after 882 days, and Casper Ruud lifted the Stockholm Open title in front of Swedish royalty, with Chris and Alina reporting behind the scenes as they continue their quest to track down and interview Magnus Norman.

The team also rates Emma Raducanu’s season, analyses Elena Rybakina’s late WTA Finals push, and asks what’s gone wrong for Mirra Andreeva. Plus, big coaching news as Jack Draper hires former coach of Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov, Jamie Delgado whilst Frances Tiafoe sacks his teams to sign up Todd Martin. Finally, our Mailbag tackles Holger Rune’s heartbreaking injury — is the tennis calendar pushing players too far or should players learn to adapt their schedule more?
