Summary
Catherine, David and Matt are back together for the first time since Wimbledon to look back on what’s happened over the last couple of weeks.
That’s chat about the return of Hopman Cup, a first title at home for Iga Swiatek, exciting tennis from Arthur Fils and Noma Noha Akugue in Hamburg, an emotional loss for Stan Wawrinka against the impressive Alexei Popyrin in Umag, and a strong start on US hard courts for Taylor Fritz.
There’s also plenty of news to cover, including Mikael Ymer’s 18 month suspension for missing a doping test, new allegations against Alexander Zverev, an incident involving Zhang Shuai and Amarissa Toth in Budapest, and withdrawals from Ons Jabeur and Novak Djokovic in Canada.

| 1:16.6 | I was just about saying I'm trying to get used to being back. Well, that instantly makes me feel |
| 1:21.9 | somewhat at home and Billie Jean appears to be trying to waive to me at the moment with her |

| 2:00.6 | your big jet setter. Yes, I've had a whistle-stop trip to Philadelphia to see my beloved |
| 2:10.7 | fallen. They scored three goals on their tour of the US and I happened to see all of them actually |
