Nadal calls time on epic career, Sabalenka + Sinner shine again, Wimbledon's tech overhaul

Get the tissues ready! Joel, Kim and Chris are back together to catch up on all things tennis, leading with the hot story that legend of the game Rafa Nadal will be hanging up his rackets in retirement at the end of this season. They reflect on this sad news as well as looking back on the past week’s tournaments which saw Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka continue their hot streaks and pick up the titles in Shanghai and Wuhan respectively. In other news, the trio debate the news from The AELTC that Wimbledon will replace line judges with electronic calling from 2025 and moving the weekend singles finals to a late afternoon slot. Plus they review the now confirmed line up for the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia, and controversial player behaviour - or as we like to call it men behaving badly - comes under the spotlight in the Mailbag section.
