This week the squad is back to talk about the end of a great week and a half in Rome where it felt like the epicenter of all things going on in the world. From F1 to a new pope and everything in between, Rome was a fantastic event and lived up to the hype with the return of Jannik Sinner, fantastic play from Alcaraz and so much more!

Both tours were in Germany last week with Zverev winning the title in Munich over Ben Shelton, while Ostapenko improves to 6-0 against Iga Swiatek and then finishes her title run with impressive win over Sabalenka! I guess Aryna will have to buy her own Porsche now if she can't win one! Better luck next year!

The Net Cord of the week came from down under where two Aussie brothers have two fictional characters listed as their coaches on the ATP website. The Davis Cup took place, but the focus was more on the drama than the tennis. Seyboth Wild and Fils had plenty of drama and Zizou Bergs vs. Christian Garin had a collision at the end of the match leading to some spicy press conferences and bruised face pics.

In Doha, young stud, Jakub Mensik, made a huge run to the finals where he fell to Karen Khachanov! In Los Cabos, this was arguably the most stacked ATP 250 draw in recent memory! Jordan Thompson was able to fight back from 0-6 1-4 down to win his QF match against Michelson and then eventually go on to beat Zverev in the SF and Ruud in the Finals!
