Deutsche Tennis-Woche in München und Stuttgart - und in einem Fall sogar mit einem deutschen Sieger. SPORT1-Redakteurin Sophie Affeldt blickt in Vertretung von Dennis Heinemann, der sich aber dennoch kurz meldet, mit SPORT1 Tennis-Experte Stefan Schnürle auf die wichtigsten Ereignisse. Dabei haben sie viele Stimmen von den BMW Open mitgebracht, vor allem Sieger Alexander Zverev ist häufiger mit seinen Antworten zu hören. Sophie und Stefan diskutieren, wie viel dieser Erfolg für Zverev ändert und ob ein Supercoach helfen könnte. Dabei kommt auch Boris Becker zu Wort, der sich zu diesem Thema äußert. Nach einem Blick auf Finalist Ben Shelton samt dessen Einschätzung widmen sich Sophie und Stefan dem deutschen Juwel Diego Dedura. Dabei sprechen sie über den Hype, dessen Potenzial, und diskutieren, ob sein Jubel zurecht Diskussionen auslöste. Ein Blick auf die anderen Deutschen darf natürlich nicht fehlen. Es folgt der Schwenk nach Barcelona, wo sich Holger Rune mit dem Finalsieg über Carlos Alcaraz stark zurückmeldet. Stefan lobt eine Änderung beim Dänen, warnt aber vor voreiligen Schlüssen. Bei Alcaraz wünscht er sich eine Sache, damit dieser mehr Konstanz in sein Spiel kriegt. Unterschiedliche Meinung sind Sophie und Stefan, was die Prognose zu Novak Djokovic betrifft. Beim Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart beeindruckt Jelena Ostapenko, wenngleich die Ausnahme nur eine goldene Regel bei ihr bestätigt. Sophie grübelt über einen Fluch auf Aryna Sabalenka, ehe sie sich mit Stefan den Problemen von Iga Swiatek und Coco Gauff widmet. Es folgt ein Blick auf die deutschen Damen und auch eine Stimme von Eva Lys ist zu hören. Den Abschluss macht eine Diskussion über eine Befürchtung von Rafael Nadal, die Sophie und Stefan nicht nur selbst analysieren, sondern auch mehrere Profis einschätzen lassen.
