Tennis Weekly Passing Shot Productions

Tsitsipas is back to his best in Monte-Carlo and picks up his third title in the principality. The week in Monaco saw the Greek secure victories over Sinner, Ruud and Zverev as well as a surprise exit for Novak Djokovic, in the semi-finals of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. 
Elsewhere the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers were taking place, Emma Raducanu returned to form to lead Great Britain to victory against France. She picked up two come from behind wins and Katie Boulter bounced back from defeat to help seal the victory. 
In Seville they will be joined by Japan, led by Naomi Osaka and the USA led by Jessica Pegula. There was heartbreak for Ukraine as they went down to Romanian from 2-0 up. 
Joel and Chris discuss Andy Murray’s injury update, the prospect of Rafael Nadal back on tour, whether the ATP players are willing to play on used courts to allow for a WTA tournament at The Queen's Club the week prior and Kim joins in to ask the duo about Holger Rune, Medvedev and Rublev and whether their on court behaviour is good for the game.

Joel, Kim and Chris reunite to catch up on the week in tennis, which saw Danielle Collins storm to her second title in as many weeks and Matteo Berrettini return to the winner’s circle after his comeback from injury.

Meanwhile, Ben Shelton is soon to become the US Men's Number 1 after his title victory in Houston, and Camila Osorio delights home fans with a triumph in Bogota.

All good swings come to an end as we're back to wrap up both the Middle Eastern and Golden Swings on the ATP and WTA Tours.
The WTA1000 event in Dubai saw a surprise winner in Jasmine Paolini whilst top seeds Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff both fell at the hands of eventual finalist Anna Kalinskaya. Meanwhile, in Doha, Karen Khachanov fended off Next Gen breakout star Jakub Mensik to capture his sixth career title, and out in Los Cabos Jordan Thompson came back from the brink to win double crowns in dramatic style. Sebastian Baez also picked up another title on the clay with a solid week in Rio.
Kim also tests Joel and Chris with a difficult Mysterious Player, and the trio discuss the upcoming Netflix Slam in Las Vegas as well as Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou’s rekindled coaching relationship. They also debate whether the Golden Swing should be treated to a Masters series in the future.
