Welcome to Madrid, where the days are long and the time between matches is even longer! While Simon and Devang do complain briefly about the lengthy events on the WTA and ATP, they actually do discuss tennis on this week’s Open Era. Teenager Mirra Andreeva is the talk of the town after ousting Haddad-Maia and Leylah Fernandez while Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas took match of the week honors home. The guys also recap Carlos Alcaraz’s latest triumph while tackling the topical question on everyone’s mind regarding Iga Swiatek. In parting shots, they say goodbye to human linespeople and try to explain what the Met Gala is. They tried their best.
