We'll talk storylines, how the tiebreaks played out, why Mensik has shown early tiebreak mastery, break down the battle between the Mensik serve and the Djokovic return, how Mensik turned his forehand weakness into a strength and what we learned about 2025 Djokovic via this Miami run to the final.

Gill Gross dissects the bombshell class action lawsuit filed by the PTPA (Professional Players Association) targeting the ATP, WTA, ITF and ITIA. We'll try to answer all the essential questions: Why is the lawsuit happening, what does it claim, do the complaints have merit, and how might this play out longterm? I am not an employee of the ATP, nothing I say represents the ATP… I am sometimes contracted by the ATP for commentary services. My opinions are completely my own.
Below I'll attach official statements from the most relevant parties:
PTPA: "Tennis is broken," Ahmad Nassar, the executive director of the PTPA, said in a statement. "Behind the glamorous veneer that the defendants promote, players are trapped in an unfair system that exploits their talent, suppresses their earnings, and jeopardizes their health and safety."
WTA: “The PTPA’s action is both regrettable and misguided, and we will defend our position vigorously in due course. The WTA is fully committed to continuing to develop and evolve the structure and operations of professional women’s tennis, listening closely as always to the views of our players. Contesting this baseless legal case will divert time, attention, and resources from our core mission to the detriment of our players and the sport as a whole.”
ATP: "While ATP has remained focused on delivering reforms that benefit players at multiple levels, the PTPA has consistently chosen division and distraction through misinformation over progress.Five years on from its inception in 2020, the PTPA has struggled to establish a meaningful role in tennis, making its decision to pursue legal action at this juncture unsurprising."

Following that, we'll discuss Novak Djokovic's upset defeat to Botic Van De Zandschulp and Alexander Zverev's rough day against Tallon Griekspoor.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a 3-month ban after settling with WADA ahead of their April court hearing date. The current world #1 will be sidelined until the Rome Masters. We'll cover why this outcome made sense for both sided and what the implication is for the ATP rankings and Jannik Sinner's legacy.
The official statement from WADA is as follows: “WADA accepts the athlete’s explanation for the cause of the violation as outlined in the first instance decision. WADA accepts that Mr. Sinner did not intend to cheat, and that his exposure to clostebol did not provide any performance-enhancing benefit and took place without his knowledge as the result of negligence of members of his entourage. However, under the Code and by virtue of CAS precedent, an athlete bears responsibility for the entourage’s negligence. Based on the unique set of facts of this case, a three-month suspension is deemed to be an appropriate outcome.”
Jannik Sinner's statement: ""This case had been hanging over me now for nearly a year and the process still had a long time to run with a decision maybe only at the end of the year. I have always accepted that I am responsible for my team and realise WADA's strict rules are an important protection for the sport I love. On that basis I have accepted WADA's offer to resolve these proceedings on the basis of a 3-month sanction."
