Open Era Gold: David Nalbandian — Giant Slayer
This week we profile someone that never became world number one or captured a Grand Slam, but accomplished something no other player has . David Nalbandian defied explanation, until you saw what he could do on the court when everything was just ‘right.’ We saw that happen in 2007 at the Madrid Open when he became the first and only person to beat Nadal, Djokovic and Federer at the same tournament.

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.

Plus, Jannik Sinner continued to steamroll the ATP Tour. Devang and Simon unpack a weighty few weeks in parting shots including skirting close to the edge of a few libel laws. You wouldn’t expect anything else though at this point.
