The biggest Monday Match Analysis ever? First, Gill Gross breaks down Casper Ruud's first Masters 1000 triumph over Jack Draper in Madrid. Then, we'll hit the French Open Power Rankings with results from the second clay Masters in. Then, we'll go to mailbag questions, including: did Carlos Alcaraz's Netflix doc reveal a problematic partying habit, will Jannik Sinner play well coming back from his 3-month suspension and is it time to accept severe Novak Djokovic decline. Then, we'll go to the quarter-by-quarter Rome Preview. Sinner returns as the top-seed with Alexander Zverev, Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz. Finally, Gill talks about his observations and experiences at the Aix-En-Provence Challenger where Borna Coric defeated Stan Wawrinka for the title.
