Rybakina rules, Humbert triumphs, team tinker for Rune + Monfils disqualified at UTS Oslo

Tennis Weekly

With the first Grand Slam of the year in the bag, the gang are back to feast on all the action from the tour as the Middle Eastern and Golden Swings begin. Elena Rybakina clinched her second crown of the year in Abu Dhabi whilst Karolina Pliskova, Ugo Humbert and Tommy Paul were back to title winning ways in Transylvania, Marseille and Dallas respectively. Meanwhile, Italian qualifier Luciano Darderi sprung a surprise in Cordoba in an all-qualifier final - only the third time that has happened on the ATP Tour since 1990!

Chris also reports back from this weekend’s controversial UTS in Oslo including the shock exit of Gael Monfils, and we get exclusive insight from winner Andrey Rublev plus runner up Alex de Minaur. Meanwhile in South America, Tennis Weekly goes to Buenos Aires for the Argentina Open!

Joel and Kim are also tested on their knowledge of Golden Swing Champions of yesteryear, and the trio think ahead to whom the next maiden Grand Slam winner will be.
