Summary

With Indian Wells at the quarter-finals stage, Catherine, David and Matt catch up to discuss the last few days of action and look ahead to the weekend.

Part one - WTA Results. Iga Swiatek’s imperious form ahead of her rematch with Zheng Qinwen, how Mirra Andreeva thrashed Elena Rybakina 6-1 6-2, Elina Svitolina’s remarkable resolve in light of Trump's meeting with Zelensky, a voice note from Coach Shriver as Donna Vekic rediscovers her form despite a three set loss to Madison Keys, and Belinda Bencic’s win over Coco Gauff.

Part two (from 42m22s) - ATP Results. Why it’s a dead heat between Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz for who’s been the most impressive so far, Arthur Fils reaches his first Masters 1000 quarter-final and now takes on Daniil Medvedev, a big opportunity for both Holger Rune and Tallon Griekspoor.

Part three (from 64m03s) - The return of Punchy Predictions. Plus news of our upcoming live shows this summer.
