Jill Craybas on Marta Kostyuk's Madrid Title, Jannik Sinner's Historic Dominance And More From The Clay

About this episode

Jill Craybas discusses the highlights of the Madrid Masters, focusing on Marta Kostyuk's victory and Jannik Sinner's dominance in tennis.

Jill Craybas returns to the podcast to recap another eventful tournament at the Madrid Masters, where Marta Kostyuk and Jannik Sinner reigned supreme. Craybas explains how Kostyuk was able to put everything together and win the biggest title of her career, and how her coach Sandra Zaniewska has forged a special bond with her player by allowing her to improve while staying true to herself. The broadcaster also dissects Sinner's historic run of five straight Masters Titles, and points out the areas of his game and makeup that enable the Italian to dominate the field. Craybas also gives her thoughts on several other players who shined in Madrid, including finalist Mirra Andreeva, who showed her emotional side once again. The commentator dives into American Hailey Baptiste's breakout win over Aryna Sabalenka, and discusses where the World No. 1 goes from here. And Craybas analyzes Arthur Fils, Rafael Jodar and Alexander Blockx who all shined in Spain and are looking to keep rising up the ATP ranks. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
