The guys kick off the show recapping the most significant results from last week. Is Zverev back after winning on home soil? Could Rune’s victory over Alcaraz make him a week-in, week-out threat moving forward? And does Ostapenko’s dominant week in Stuttgart make her a Roland Garros contender?

They then delve into the ITIA’s odd clarification on the tennis doping control policy and reminisce about their not-so-enjoyable experiences of being watched in the locker room by drug testers during their post-loss showers. Finally, they conclude with their predictions for this week’s Madrid tournament. Can the guys maintain their impressive streak of incorrect picks?

This week, the guys go full clay-mode with laughs, roasts, and some hard truths about life on the dirt as they open Clay Mailbag. They draft their current top clay-court players, revisit the narrative that Americans can’t hang on the surface, and share some painfully honest personal stories—like Steve Johnson’s worst-ever loss on clay, despite having what he calls a “good draw.”

The conversation spins into the unfiltered realities of tour life, including coach salaries, laundry disasters, and why you should never announce a doubles withdrawal on Instagram. Predictions fly about Djokovic’s Slam chances, and the crew doesn’t hold back on what it really costs to stay competitive in today’s game.
