Summary

Catherine, David and Matt are back already, this time to discuss an exciting week of action on the court, headlined by titles for Amanda Anisimova and Joao Fonseca.

Part one - WTA Doha Review. Matt gets his chance to wax lyrical about Amanda Anisimova and THAT backhand winning the biggest title of her career, and we wonder what it might mean for her career. Plus, Jelena Ostapenko improves her record against Iga Swiatek to 5-0! And early losses for Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka.

Part two (from 30m04s) - ATP Results. Fonseca's special week in Buenos Aires, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina's brutal loss to Miomir Kecmamovic in Delray Beach, and of course Ugo Humbert wins indoors in France.

Part three (from 54m51s) - A look ahead to this week with the WTA 1000 event in Dubai and two ATP 500s in Doha and Rio.
