Carlos comeback is confirmed as he celebrates World Cup win + titles for Rublev and Tsitsipas!

Title droughts no more for Andrey Rublev and Stefanos Tsitsipas! Join Joel, Kim and Chris back at Tennis Weekly HQ for their first tour catch-up since Wimbledon, with Chris returning from Bastad (bucket hat and all!) to tell us what went on behind the scenes including Sweden's answer to Wimbledon's famous Dog & Fox pub.

On court, we debate whether Rublev and Tsitsipas' long-awaited titles are the start of genuine revivals or simply a false dawn. Were we ever worried Tsitsipas might never win another ATP title? Has splitting with his father as coach already proved to be the right decision?

We also celebrate yet another Czech success story on the WTA Tour this year as Barbora Krejcikova claims her first singles title since becoming Wimbledon champion, discuss whether Carlos Alcaraz is making the right call by targeting Cincinnati for his comeback, and ask what version of the Spaniard we should expect to see. Plus, Damir Dzumhur had plenty to say after another electronic line-calling controversy in Umag (and, whisper it... we might actually agree with him!), we question whether Grand Slams should channel the World Cup and introduce third-place play-offs, and look ahead to another busy week on the ATP and WTA Tours including action from Kitzbuhel, Estoril and Prague.
