Скачать или смотреть RUNE AND OSTAPENKO SHINE AND PREVIEWING MADRID WITH WRITER GRANT THOMPSON | INSIDE-IN TENNIS PODCAST

ATP writer Grant Thompson joins the show as the clay season ramps up and the road to Roland Garros intensifies. Thompson recaps Holger Rune's thrilling title run in Barcelona, and what it means for the Danish player going forward. The journalist also discusses Carlos Alcaraz's health, and Alexander Zverev's victory in the Munich final over a very in-form Ben Shelton. And Thompson reacts to Jelena Ostapenko's shockingly good performance in Stuttgart, where she beat Aryna Sabalenka in the final while also improving to 6-0 against Iga Swiatek!

Thompson then dives into The Madrid Open, and examines which players on the ATP and WTA are poised to far well with the altitude on these Spanish clay courts. He also discusses some sleepers who could emerge on the men's tour who could emerge in 2025, and what Jannik Sinner's return in Rome will mean for the game. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
