Passport switching, Sabalenka's second serve, Osaka resurgent, Rybakina wins a title, Raducanu bagelled

It's the Middle East swing and James Gray, George Bellshaw and Calvin Betton are back home in the UK, picking the bones out of the action.

They answered your questions too, including:

  • What does British tennis get from players switching allegiance to play under the Union Flag? And why does Kazakhstan do it? (Thanks to Matthew on email for that one)
  • Can you remember anyone doing such a good job of improving on their weaknesses, at least so quickly, as Aryna Sabalenka has on second serve? (Nikos via email)
  • Danny asks "What's the deal with the ITF events held in places like Monastir and Sharm El Sheikh, how do they afford to host tournaments every week of the year without the backing of wealthy federations, at the bottom tier of the sport with no TV or gate money?"


    • And in this week's news

    • Elena Rybakina wins the title in Abu Dhabi
    • Naomi Osaka talks about failure - but then gets the best win of her comeback so far over Caroline Garcia in Doha
    • Emma Raducanu is beaten by Anhelina Kalinina in a one-sided encounter


      • And so much more!
