Summary
Wimbledon is on the horizon and Catherine and David are joined by Charlie Eccleshare from The Athletic to cover all of the important grass court results and stories.
Part one - ATP Queen’s, Halle. Carlos Alcaraz was already a formidable opponent who had reached World No.1 and won five Grand slam titles, but how will anyone stop him now he has learned how to serve like this? His second Queen's title is reviewed, Alexander Bublik's Halle win is covered, and all the potential Wimbledon permutations come into view.
Part two - WTA round up (47m00s). The return of Marketa Vondrousova, and where it leaves Aryna Sabalenka after she apologised for her Roland Garros final remarks.
Part three - This week (60m30s). The US Open Mixed Doubles entry list - our reaction, and all of the other news in a news-heavy week.
