Tell a friend to tell a friend, he’s backkkk. And by he, of course we mean Daniil Medvedev. This week was an exciting one and pretty wholesome. Daniil might have won his third tournament in a row, but more importantly, he re-ignited the Stefaniil rivalry again and won Best Friend of the Week by defending Andrey. We talk about the kids: like Holger Rune v. Ben Shelton, Lorenzo Musetti’s anxiety, and whether Carlos Alcaraz would slay with nail polish. Katie’s most important win of the week is that Botic Van De Zandsculp knows her dog, because, of course, he’s her dog’s favorite. We didn’t do any predictions this week because the more important topic is that Miranda will be at Indian Wells! She’ll be taking in the tennis firsthand with her sunglasses and cap, so if you see her, no you didn’t.
