Monday Match Analysis

On the Mailbag, Gill Gross is joined by Jimmy Arias to discuss Danielle Collins' incredible surge, the ATP landscape shifting and Novak Djokovic's comments on motivation, before delving into viewer questions, including: is Rafael Nadal actually going to retire in 2024, should Roland Garros have given Dominic Thiem a wildcard, which Roland Garros title contender can take advantage of uncertainty within the top-4 (Tsitsipas? Zverev? Ruud?), is there too much Jack Draper hype, what is the future of technique, is there more complaining on tour these days, how can Taylor Fritz level up his game, Andy Murray has switched to a Yonex EZONE 100 and why might Alexander Zverev have such a poor record against Stefanos Tsitsipas? Jimmy Arias is a former world #5, the director of player development at the IMG Academy, and an analysts for Tennis Channel and other outlets.
