Sabalenka on top again, Thiem's last dance in Vienna, Rafa & Novak's final battle

And another awesome rivalry comes to an end! This week, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic played their final match on a tennis court in Saudi Arabia at the Six Kings Slam to bring the curtain down on their epic head to head. Join Joel and Chris as they reflect on this match up along with all the other tennis talk from the week as Tommy Paul, Daria Kasatkina and a 36 year old (!) Roberto Bautista Agut won titles on the tour across Europe and Asia.  Chris also gives the inside scoop on what it’s like to attend the Nordic Open in Stockholm - and whether he was able to track down Magnus Norman for an interview. Elsewhere, Danielle Collins announced that she will play on the WTA Tour next year after postponing her end of season retirement, Aryna Sabalenka took over from Iga Swiatek as the World Number 1 at the top of the rankings, and we remark on Dominic Thiem’s last dance on a tennis court as he plays his final match at the Vienna Open.
