Points to Defend is back and better than ever! New logo, posts on social, and a new starting point - the first Wimbledon in two years - what better way to start a glow up. Everyone loves the grass court season, no one quite as much as Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios, making their return to The Championships in incredible form - albeit thanks to the fans on centre court. Murray looks like the British icon of old, shouting at himself no matter the scoreline. We unfortunately lost Serena Williams early in

With clay tournaments coming thick and fast over the last few weeks, we had some new faces prevail and some older heads staying true to their winning mantras. Stefanos Tsitsipas won his maiden Masters 1000 with a flawless week in Monte Carlo, beating the likes of Rublev, Garin and the ever-impressive Karatsev on the way to his first title. Stefanos is surely looking like the next king of clay after an 18-set unbeaten streak on the surface. Rafa started the tournament in classic Rafa fashion, but was

The Miami Open gave us surprises in both the ATP and WTA draws, with the lowest ranked men's final at the tournament since 1985. Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner both made their Masters 1000 final debuts, with the Polish star running out eventual winner after a dominant performance in the final. This maiden title takes Hubie to 16th in the rankings, whilst Sinner moves up to 23rd at only the age of 19 - god we're both old.Ash Barty defended her 2019 (yes, 2019) Miami Open crown in a convincing

We're back with a bumper two-week episode, and there's a LOT to talk about. Djokovic broke the record for most weeks at world number one with 311, which is now a little longer because we forgot to mention it before but that's been rectified here. Federer was back in Doha and looked good in his three setters despite falling to eventual champion Basilashvili, while Muguruza finally won a title in her third final of the year in Dubai. St Petersburg appropriately had an all-Russian semi final lineup

Roger Federer is back on the ATP tour for the first time in over a year, making his comeback at Doha against Dan Evans 14 months after his falling short to Novak Djokovic in the AO semi-final. The road to the final won't be easy for the Swiss maestro, with a predicted draw matching him up with the likes of Dan Evans, Denis Shapovalov and Andrey Rublev on his quest to his 104th title - but one of us still thinks he can do it. Rublev showed he was the king of ATP 500s by winning his fourth in a row in

Also during the second week we had great runs to the finals from Medvedev and 'Do you prefer Jenny or Jennifer?'

The state of Victoria has gone into a five-day lockdown, meaning the incredible, lively, and sometimes just very drunk crowds that we've all loved hearing over the last week have had to go - quite literally in the middle of Djokovic v Fritz.

The tag-team of Djokovic and Krajinovic (thanks to an unlikely hand blister plaguing the world no.1) lined up against the exciting Jannik Sinner, whilst Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka saw their 2018 US Open final replayed in hot sun of Australia.

We couldn’t start without addressing the allegations of domestic abuse detailed by Alexander Zverev’s ex-girlfriend Olga ‘Olya’ Sharypova, first on her Instagram and then in an interview with Racquet magazine ( racquetmag.com/2020/11/05/olyas-story/ ), Zverev’s disappointing response

The French Open and the final Slam of the year (a month later than usual) might be over but we're having one last big chat about Grand Slam tennis for 2020. Rafa Nadal wins his 13th Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam, tying Roger Federer for the most all-time men's Major titles. Something he did with such dominance that none of us expected it, even though it is Rafa at the French. Iga Swiatek wins her first title ever, just a casual Grand Slam title during a pandemic. And neither of them dropped a

Djokovic and Nadal both have easy first round matches, with the Spaniard complaining about the conditions and the new balls used - will he be able to make it 13 titles in Paris?
