Iga Swiatek is BACK and she knows BEST! Shelton DEFENDS Canada Open title + Cincinnati PREDICTIONS!

Iga Swiatek is BACK! The former World No.1 ends her title drought in style, defeating Elena Rybakina in the Canada Masters final to claim her first WTA 1000 title of the season — and having a few things to say to her critics along the way. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as we debate whether Iga is back to being a genuine US Open contender, just how close she is to “completing tennis” with only three big titles and an Olympic gold left, and the very important matter of her photoshoot with Elway, the Canadian Open head groundsman’s dog.
Over in Montreal, Ben Shelton does it again. Is he a genuine US Open contender and a first American male winner since Andy Roddick or has he simply been the biggest beneficiary of Alcaraz and Sinner’s absence and injury uncertainty? Plus, Jack Draper’s comeback takes another painful turn, Djokovic returns in peak physical health, and we make our Cincinnati predictions as the final Masters 1000 before the US Open gets underway. And, of course, Serena and Venus Williams have reunited for doubles after the chaos of their cancelled Wimbledon return.
