## Resource

The Big T brings the heat this week with bold takes, big questions, and a legend added to the mix. Brad Gilbert and Coco Vandeweghe dive straight into the biggest story in tennis — the status of Carlos Alcaraz. With concerns around his wrist and forearm, could Roland Garros already be in jeopardy for the former World #1? With opportunity opening up, the conversation turns to Munich Open Champ Ben Shelton or Barcelona winner, Arthur Fils. Can they seize the moment and make a real run in Madrid or Rome? From there, BG and Coco break down their picks for the top clay-court players right now — outside of the usual names — and things get opinionated. Then, former World No. 8 and fan favorite Marcos Baghdatis joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation — from battling in the Federer/Nadal era to shaping the next generation through IMG Future Stars. Plus: “On The Line” debates get heated Iga’s evolving form under the microscope The ultimate tennis controversy: underarm serve on match point — genius or disrespect? Fan Mail + Code Violations close it out This is the episode for insight, access, and unfiltered tennis conversation. Watch full episodes and bonus content on the Tennis Channel YouTube and app.
