Halep free to resume career, ATP inks Saudi deal, Rublev DQ drama, Indian Wells preview

Bumper catch-up! Joel, Kim and Chris are back to discuss the many, many stories to emerge from the last week on tour as well as preview Indian Wells.

They chat current tennis IT couple Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur's tournament trophy wins at 500 level events (and the distinct difference in prize money), Andrey Rublev's unsavory default in Dubai, and the recent news that Simona Halep's doping ban has been reduced meaning she is now free to play professional tennis once again.

The trio also share their impressions of the inaugural Netflix Slam and discuss the recent partnership between the ATP and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, whilst Kim and Chris have to work together to defeat Joel in his tricky game.
