How did he see off the challenges mounted by Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas?As for Kiki Bertens, what’s changed to turn her into a winner of big titles? And where does she rank on the list of French Open favourites?All the other major storylines from Madrid are also discussed. How did Tsitsipas conquer his demons to beat Rafael Nadal for the first time? Should we be worried by Nadal’s form? How did Roger Federer look on his return to clay? And what on earth happened for Viktoria Kuzmova to lose 6-0 6-0 to Simona Halep?Finally, a word on the retiring David Ferrer. How will we look back on his career?The Tennis Podcast will be produced weekly throughout 2019, and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments, after our Kickstarter was successfully funded by our listeners.
