Chewin' The Bat

As Indian Wells comes to an end, and things get heating in Miami, Jack and Swizzle recap what was quite a remarkable start to the sunshine double. Queen Iga and King Carlos reigning supreme after week one, but can they back it up - the boys don't think so. Tune in for some courtside gossip and predictions for week 2.

We have a new power couple in town: Demon and Boulter. Doulter if you may. Jack and Swizzle run through another rollercoaster week of results on both the ATP and WTA tours, providing updates from Mexico, San Deigo and a quick update on the opening rounds in the desert; Indian Wells. With Olympics around the corner, we kick things off with a segment thats gaining very little traction, but we enjoy...
