About this episode

The episode features discussions on the Italian Open, player performances, and an interview with Lorenzo Musetti.

🎂 Big T birthday szn — Carlos Alcaraz turns 23 and Aryna Sabalenka turns 28. Celebratory vibes from the jump. 🇮🇹 Mark Petchey and Coco Vandeweghe are ON LOCATION at the Italian Open in Rome — in the heart of the action, hobnobbing with the best in the game. 🐐 Jannik Sinner just won Madrid. Should we hand him every trophy now and call it a clay season? The debate is real. 👑 Novak Djokovic is BACK — and tracking toward what could be his best shot at Slam #25 in a few weeks. Don't count him out. 🎤 Alexander Zverev drops a soundbite for the ages — two tiers on tour, and he's not shy about where everyone stands. ⬆️ Hailey Baptiste is on the rise and developing the right way. Can she make more noise in Rome? 🎾 Lorenzo Musetti joins the show — Italian tennis, the Sinner effect, one-handed backhands, fashion, all of it. One of the best guest conversations of the season. 🔧 Fix It or Forget It — Tsitsipas, Anisimova, Medvedev and Osaka all go under the microscope. Petch and Coco don't hold back. 📬 Fan Mail closes the show — including a spicy question about Sabalenka's alleged "16th match curse." Three winning streaks. Three times broken at 15. Coincidence? 📺 Watch on YouTube…
