Nick is joined by Vansh to discuss the last seven days in women's tennis which saw Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova get her first tour win in 15 months, Laura Siegemund become a friend of the show, and Coco Gauff's forehand break down quicker than a 1980s Skoda.

Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, has continued her serene path in Madrid, but will the conditions in the Spanish capital give others more of a chance?

Meanwhile, France's Caroline Garcia crashed out to Mayar Sherif of Egypt.

But the biggest story of the week (apart from Laura Siegemund) has surely been the teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva, who has yet to lose a set after remarkable victories over Leylah Fernandez, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Magda Linette. Can she repeat the trick against Australian Open champion and world number two Aryna Sabalenka?
