Clay season is officially underway and we’re back at Tennis Weekly HQ to roundup week one as we start to look forward with Roland Garros on the horizon. This week, we ask ourselves is Jessica Pegula the best player on the WTA Tour currently not named Elena Rybakina or Aryna Sabalenka after she defended her Charleston title and speculate on what tips did Iga Swiatek receive from her idol Rafael Nadal as they were spotted linking up on the court in Spain. Joel and Kim also debate the anatomy of a coaching break up with the news that Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard was only informed by his agent that Swiatek's new coach Francisco Roig had ditched him for the Polish former World No. 1.
On the ATP side, there’s plenty to get stuck into as Tommy Paul grabs his first clay title, rising Spanish star Rafael Jodar making waves with his massive forehand in Marrakech, and we dive into the news that the WTA Tour Finals are set to leave Riyadh after 2026 with Gdansk and Charlotte in the United States on the shortlist. Plus, we announce the winner of our Babolat giveaway and of course take a look ahead to Monte Carlo where Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner lead the charge which once again leads us to debate - are we *finally* going to get our first Sincaraz matchup this season??
