Summary

Catherine, David and Matt were live on YouTube to react to Finals weekend at Indian Wells as Mirra Andreeva and Jack Draper became champions.

Part one - WTA Results. How Andreeva scored her first victory over Aryna Sabalenka, an important Backhand List update, how to explain Sabalenka's third set performance, and the pressure Iga Swiatek is feeling in life and on court right now.

Part two - ATP Results (from 38m45s). Draper beats Holger Rune in emphatic fashion to win the biggest title of his career, a worryingly bad showing from Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals, video review drama, and Daniil Medvedev's iconic 'apolobration'.

Part three (from 67m58s). A look ahead to Miami, tribute to John Feinstein, live pet mascot reaction, and shout outs.
