Andrey Rublev was defaulted in today's Dubai semifinal, causing us to revisit memories of David Nalbandian at Queen's Club in 2012 and Novak Djokovic at the US Open in 2020. What went wrong? Whose fault was the default? What could have been done differently?

WE talk about this and more in today's podcast, as we venture beyond Dubai to discuss upcoming events at Indian Wells in Miami.

Items discussed:

Who's hot? Who's not?

When will Andy Murray retire?

Rafa and Nole back at Indian Wells, will it be the last time they both come together?

Jakub Mensik... how good is this kid?

Osaka and Wozniacki comebacks, what is the upside?

And so much more!
