2026 ROME RECAP & Marta Kostyuk talks Madrid Title, Playing at Roland Garros & More

Roland Garros 2026 is almost here but first… we need to dive into the 2026 Rome Recap — Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim break down Jannik Sinner's historic run: six consecutive Masters 1000 titles, a Career Golden Masters, and stats that are simply unplayable. Plus, the incredible story of Elina Svitolina: a transformed player post-motherhood, representing Ukraine with pride while her country faces ongoing conflict. We also sit down with Marta Kostyuk (ranked a career-high #15) fresh off her Madrid title for a candid conversation about her win at the 2026 Madrid Open, growing up on the tennis court, and what it means to be a Ukrainian athlete right now.
