A week after reaching the Miami final, Novak Djokovic has suffered a devastating loss to Alejandro Tabilo in his first outing at Monte-Carlo, while Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin have flown the Australian flag into the Round of 16. Jessica Pegula’s charmed run has continued in Charleston with her second title in a month (and first on clay), elevating her above countrywoman Coco Gauff to become America’s No.1 woman. Meanwhile, teenage bolter Alexandra Eala has gained direct entry into Roland Garros to become the first Filipino woman to play a Grand Slam main draw. And Daria Saville has opened a can of worms on TikTok questioning why brands prioritise tennis ‘WAGs’ ahead of women players for commercial partnerships. Dasha’s husband and coach Luke Saville gives his take, while Australian Open publicist Carla Alderuccio also joins Brie Stewart and Xavier Muhlebach in studio to untangle the threads. And who takes the chocolates in Brie’s Easter themed tennis quiz?
