French tennis player and presenter Alize Lim returns to the show to discuss several intersting stories in the world of tennis, including Naomi Osaka's decision to making a coaching change. Lim examines the potential pairing between Osaka and coach Patrick Mouratoglou, and looks at world #1 Jannik Sinner's hiring of two former members of Novak Djokovic's team. She also covers a wide range of topics including Novak Djokovic's priorities, a few first time title winners on the WTA tour, the 2024 Laver Cup, and what the future holds for Rafael Nadal.

And then Lars Graff, former gold badge umpire & ATP supervisor joins the podcast for a chat about his career and current endeavor as tournament director for the China Open. Graff shares several stories from his umpiring career including that memorable Wimbledon final in 2009 between Andy Roddick & Roger Federer, and discusses the art of officiating in great detail. The tournament director explains how he assumed his role in Beijing, the passion for tennis in Asia, and why this year's event, which features most of the game's top players, is one you simply cannot afford to miss as a tennis fan.
