Calvin Betton drags himself out of a karaoke bar in Hamburg to join James Gray for a look back at the Italian Open, before Myles David of Tuned Into Tennis dials in from Houston, TX to discuss Jasmine Paolini's victory over Coco Gauff. They talked about the following...


  • Carlos Alcaraz ended Jannik Sinner’s 26-match unbeaten run on Sunday to claim the Italian Open title and deny the Rome crowd a home winner in the men’s event for the first time since the 1970s, triumphing 7-6, 6-1. It was Sinner’s first straight sets defeat since the 2023 ATP Tour Finals against Novak Djokovic.
  • In coaching news, Djokovic and Andy Murray have split after six months working together. Djokovic said: “Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun & support over last six months on & off the court, really enjoyed deepening our friendship together.” Murray said: “Thanks to Novak for the unbelievable opportunity to work together and thanks to his team for all their hard work over the past six months. I wish Novak all the best for the rest of the season.”
  • Nick Kyrgios is playing doubles with Jordan Thompson at the French Open
  • Jasmine Paolini is the Rome champion, ending a 40-year wait for a home winner of Italian Open. She was already the first Italian finalist in 11 years but then swatted Coco Gauff aside 6-4, 6-2.
  • Emma Raducanu picks up three valuable wins on the clay
  • Peyton Stearns shrugs off Tom Hill's shock departure to show her class in Rome
