This week, George Bellshaw is a late withdrawal after being called in for surgery on a torn meniscus, Calvin Betton tunes in from Hong Kong (sorry about the satellite delay!) and James Gray is at home for the last time before heading to Australia.

They discussed...

• Emma Raducanu has turned over a new leaf for 2025 and says she is learning to say no more
• Max Purcell has been provisionally suspended after admitting to a breach of anti-doping rules relating to "a prohibited method"
• Nick Kyrgios is back, drawn in a big-serving match-up with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in Brisbane
