Tour Catch-Up: Rublev revels in clay comforts, Hopman Cup makes subdued return in Nice

In the first post-Wimbledon Tour catch-up, Chris and Kim are back together to round up the action from across the ATP and WTA Tours with 250s abound in Bastad, Gstaad, Newport, Palermo and Budapest as we see the return of the Hopman Cup in a new location and time of year.

With Andrey Rublev getting the better of Casper Ruud (and his dog!) at the Nordea Open, three first time tour titalists in Pedro Cachin, Qinwen Zheng and Maria Timofeeva, and Adrian Mannarino using experience to overcome young American teenager Alex Michelsen in Newport, they reflect on the past week’s movers and shakers on tour, as well as touching upon unsporting and controversial scenes at the Hungarian Open.

Look out for a special bonus episode from Bastad later in the week, with Chris sharing his insight from a week on tour at the Nordea Open featuring interviews with Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev and Magnus Norman. __________________
