Miami - Eala dream continues; Serious for Swiatek? Is Zverev the worst World No.2 ever?

With Miami reaching its climax, Catherine, David and Matt catch up to discuss scheduling issues, more struggles for top players, and what might happen over the weekend.

Part one - WTA Results. We start with a rant about the scheduling before moving on to happier things and Alex Eala’s incredible run to the semi-finals. The flip side of that, however, is digesting a shocking performance from Iga Swiatek. What can we expect from her clay court season as her title drought continues? There’s also chat about an encouraging tournament for Emma Raducanu as well as Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini discovering some of their best form.

Part two - ATP Results (from 38m57s). We hail Grigor Dimitrov’s incredible effort to beat Francisco Cerundolo and reach the semi-finals, revel in a couple of wonderful wins for Arthur Fils, and wonder if Alexander Zverev is currently playing worse than any world number two ever.

Part three (from 61m57s). Any other business including the one year anniversary of The Barge, our next edition of Tennis Re-Lived, and shout outs.
