Carlos Alcaraz sets social media on fire with full-speed hitting videos ahead of his US Open and Cincinnati title defense. The guys react to Taylor Fritz taking the Washington title over Rafa Jodar, Alexandra Eala's breakout run as the first Filipino to win a WTA singles title, and whether she's officially a top-ten threat? Plus: the ITIA's four-year suspension of 2023 Wimbledon Champion Markéta Vondrousova is confirmed — Andy digs into the ruling, the missed-test protocols every player should know, and why his early sympathy shifted. The crew also covers Cruz Hewitt following in Lleyton's footsteps, Emma Raducanu ruled out of the US Open with a stress fracture, Venus and Serena Williams landing a Cincinnati doubles wildcard, and Novak Djokovic's radical scoring idea.
