Open Era Gold: Jennifer Capriati, Tennis Survivor
Graf, Navratilova, Seles, Serena, Hingis... Jennifer Capriati not only competed with the game’s greats, she beat them. It was an unconventional path. From youth prodigy to tennis survivor, Capriati put herself back in slam contention in 2003 when she met Justine Henin in an all-time classic semifinal under the lights at Arthur Ashe.

Miami: Yell About That
What a week in Miami. A sentence Open Era never thought it would write! Danielle Collins won her home tournament in what will be her final year on tour.

You wouldn’t expect anything else though at this point.

Indian Wells: Bees?
Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek win Indian Wells again. We really need better script writers in tennis sometimes. All joking aside, it was actually a really interesting tournament in Indian Wells. Jannik Sinner finally had his 2024 winning streak snapped and we had a Maria Sakkari sighting! Finally, Devang and Simon turn to Parting Shots and try to answer the question which is on everyone’s lips. Was Kate Middleton in Emma Raducanu’s players box?
