Flop-off February continues as Daniil Medvedev wins Rotterdam, Carlos Alcaraz wins Buenos Aires, and Taylor Fritz wins Delray Beach. We talk about all the important topics, like whether we’re worried about Andrey Rublev (yes) and whether Felix Auger-Aliassime named his new dog after Tim Hortons (maybe?). Is there a budding rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Stefanos Tsitsipas? How do we give the Golden Swing the respect it deserves? Also included: a new segment, Deucemoi, which is Deuxmoi, but tennis, naturally.
