Andy Roddick, Jon Wertheim, and the Served crew dive into a loaded week of tennis news. From Holger Rune’s devastating Achilles injury to Novak Djokovic’s fiery speech in Saudi Arabia about player unions and tennis’ “monopoly". The guys debate whether Masters 1000 events are too long, what’s broken about the ATP/WTA calendar, and jump into the recent results of Rybakina, Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Casper Ruud.

COMMENT BLEOW
