Summary

Catherine, David and Matt convene to round up everything that’s happened in tennis since returning from the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Part one - Davis Cup Qualifiers including an impressive comeback from Denmark to beat Serbia, huge drama in the Belgium vs Chile tie, aggro involving Arthur Fils and Thiago Seyboth Wild, and disappointment for Great Britain. Plus, titles for Felix Auger-Aliassime, Ekaterina Alexandrova and Elise Mertens on tour.

Part two (from 43m25s) - News round up. US Open to start on a Sunday, Elena Rybakina begins working with a new coach, Daniil Medvedev splits from Gilles Simon, a costly development for UK tennis viewers, and Jannik Sinner enters his vlogger era.

Part three (from 1h08m36s) - A look ahead to this week’s action.
