Back-to-back episodes? Look at us! We’re back to talk about the Asian Swing which included another Masters 1000 win for Jannik Sinner, two Janlitos finals (Jannik Sinner v. Carlos Alcaraz), and an appeal from WADA regarding Jannik Sinner’s doping case. And because it's us, we're bring you a DeuceMoi story from Miranda herself!

Ugo Humbert’s perfect streak in singles’ finals has come to end thanks to fellow Frenchman Arthur Fils. Rafael Nadal has played his last singles match too, but we definitely put off talking about his retirement to discuss Davis Cup, of all things! The ATP Finals is sneaking up on us again, so we consider who will make it. 

Oh, and did you think we wouldn’t mention Taylor Fritz becoming Blondlor? We consider if he’ll be back to his natural color by Turin and whether this was a lost bet. We may have taken a hiatus, but we’re always committed to talking about the important news in mens’ tennis.
