Desert Wins, Miami Begins

About this episode

Theo and Andrea recap the Indian Wells finals and preview the upcoming Miami Open.

This week, Theo and Andrea are wrapping up an unforgettable Indian Wells, where Aryna Sabalenka finally got her hands on the title after a dramatic rematch with Elena Rybakina, and Jannik Sinner added another huge milestone to his growing hard-court legacy. They break down both finals, from Sabalenka’s nerve in that wild deciding-set tie-break to Sinner’s rock-solid win over Daniil Medvedev, and get into all the little moments that made the weekend so good, including trophy chaos, on-court drama and a very strong showing from Gucci. They also look ahead to Miami, where the vibes, conditions and likely contenders could not feel more different. From the sunshine double question to dark-horse predictions, Dominic Thiem comeback rumours and a final call on which players would be most likely to end up at the club before a match, this episode has everything: tennis, fashion, history, chaos and a lot of strong opinions.
