David Law, Catherine Whitaker, Matt Roberts
About this episode

With Miami well underway, Catherine, David and Matt discuss the main talking points so far, including:

  • Iga Swiatek's ascension to World No.1
  • Naomi Osaka's good form and the possible reasons for it
  • The emergence of 16-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova
  • A regrettable moment from Victoria Azarenka
  • Sparkling tennis from Nick Kyrgios
  • Jenson Brooksby's racquet throw and whether the ATP needs to clamp down and give harsher punishments
  • Andy Murray's first match in front of Ivan Lendl for five years against Daniil Medvedev
  • Disappointing defeats for Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov

We also hear from The Telegraph's Simon Briggs, who's in Miami, about how the Hard Rock Stadium compares to Crandon Park as well as the ATP's plan to expand the number of 12-day Masters 1000 events.
