With Matt away, Catherine and David go old school to make sense of Monte Carlo.

Part one - Monte Carlo. Carlos Alcaraz won the title, but did it feel convincing? Not really. Why, and what next? Big weeks for Lorenzo Musetti, Arthur Fils and Alejandro Davidovic Fokina. Loads to get our teeth into.

Part two - BJK Cup Qualifiers (from 46m). The names were mostly not of the household variety, but the stories were electric.

Part three - Coaching Carousel (from 55m). Emma Raducanu, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexei Popyrin have all been reported or rumoured to be making coaching moves. We talk about them all.
