Tennis journalist Yasmin Syed from The Dailly Express joins the show to discuss another week of drama on the courts, headlined by Mirra Andreeva's 1000 level title in Dubai. Syed examines how the 17-year-old claimed the biggest prize of her young career, and why the No. 9 ranked player in the world has that star quality as well. The writer also recaps Andrey Rublev's exciting run to the winner's circle in Doha, and she explains why it was Rublev's mental strength that ultimately made the difference. And Syed proclaims why the Golden Swing needs to be a permanent fixture on the tennis calendar, on the heels of Sebastian Baez winning Rio for the second straight year.
Syed also recounts how she became a tennis fan at a young age, and the steps she did to forge a successful career in the media industry. The writer also reviews the current state of British tennis with Jack Draper & Emma Raducanu leading the charge, and forecasts what to expect at this week's events happening all around the world. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
