In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and special guest Lee take a look back on all the latest tour action whilst Kim is on holiday. They look at how Casper Ruud has quietly put together a pretty stellar clay court season and Cameron Norrie's breakout week in Lyon including his destruction of Dominic Thiem and Karen Khachanov en route to the final. Elsewhere, Coco Mania takes over Parma as Gauff doubles up to win both the singles and doubles titles whilst Indian Wells is back on for an October start date. They also look ahead to the grass courts with the Queen's player entry list (Joel is not impressed) plus investigate the rumours that the Australian Open might be played in the Middle East. _______ Share your fan thoughts on the week with the #passingshotpod on social media.

The Tour Catch-Up: Rome No.10 for Nadal after Djokovic battle; Double-bagel Swiatek stuns Pliskova; Murray skips French Open; Osaka leads Olympics uncertainty; Federer back in Geneva; Barty + Halep injury doubts
In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim round up all the action from the Italian Open which saw current Roland Garros champions Rafa Nadal and Iga Swiatek both take home the titles in very different fashions. Whilst Swiatek double bagelled Karolina Pliskova in lightening quick speed, Rafa Nadal had to overcome long time rival Novak Djokovic in 3 sets to claim his 10th Rome Title. With close defeats for Shapovalov and Tsitsipas, home hope Sonego reaching the semis, injury concerns for Barty and Halep, and a lacklustre return to court for Serena Williams, Joel and Kim debate all the key talking points from this week’s event. They also discuss Yastremska’s latest appeal against her doping ban, the uncertainty surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Andy Murray’s decision not to play Roland Garros this year. Par for the Court is also back, with Joel testing Kim on some niche Murray trivia! _______ Share your fan thoughts on the week with the #passingshotpod on social media.
