About this episode

Novak Djokovic is back. How did he look in his first match of the year against Lorenzo Musetti in Dubai? And what did we make of his interview with Amol Rajan of the BBC? 

Elsewhere, we talk about Jelena Ostapenko’s destructive week in Dubai and whether or not she can keep it going, Cameron Norrie’s impressive title run in Delray Beach, and Carlos Alcaraz winning in Rio. Is he in the mix for Roland Garros? 

There’s also news of yet another format change for the Davis Cup, Jannik Sinner switching up his entire coaching team, and tribute to the late Jimmy Moore who was referee at Queen’s for 42 years.
