Auger-Aliassime Unleashed; Ruud & Kontaveit Keep Winning; Farewell Delpo

Felix Auger-Aliassime has done it! In his ninth ATP final, he finally won his first title in Rotterdam, and Catherine, David and Matt begin this episode by discussing what it means for him now and in the future. 

There’s also chat about Anett Kontaveit and Casper Ruud continuing their respective winning streaks indoors and on clay, Maria Sakkari’s tendency to get tight in big moments, and the emotional scenes in Buenos Aires as Juan Martin Del Potro played what seemed like the last match of his career.

Finally, we cover Reilly Opelka’s title in Dallas and the success of that event, the disparity between the number of WTA and ATP tournaments in 2022 so far, and the WTA’s response to Peng Shuai’s interview with L’Equipe.
