Alexander Zverev took out Rafael Nadal, Dominic Thiem and Metteo Berrettini en route to his 2nd Madrid Masters Title (3:36). His return shined in Sunday's final, where he used his two-way game to his advantage. However, double faults still loom large. The DB4 stat of the week is about beating Nadal on clay. In the latest installment of the French Open Power Rankings (25:19), Casper Ruud, Diego Schwartzman and Jannik Sinner are among the big movers. Finally, it is time to preview the Rome Masters (33:36), where Novak Djokovic returns and Daniil Medvedev looks to break his clay court draught. Correction: Karatsev's Australian Open win over Schwartzman was NOT close, but rather a straight sets win.
