Rome - Sinner returns, Swiatek struggles and the rest search for form

Catherine, David and Matt catch up to discuss the opening week of action in Rome, where Jannik Sinner’s return and Iga Swiatek’s loss have been the big talking points.

Part one - A voice essay from The Athletic’s Matt Futterman on his time in Rome and the main ATP Results so far, including Sinner’s winning return and Arthur Fils’s comeback win over Stefanos Tstisipas which featured some aggro of sorts.

Part two - WTA Results (from 40m40s). We discuss Swiatek’s third round defeat to Danielle Collins and where she goes from here. Plus, good form for Bianca Andreescu, Emma Raducanu and Naomi Osaka has thrilled us.

Part three - News (from 1h13m40s). Novak Djokovic enters Geneva.
