100 minute special: Indian Wells gets underway, Raducanu vs Keothavong, Medvedev loses the plot

Tennis Unfiltered

James Gray is not impartial and he won't get sacked for it here (yet). He is joined as usual by Calvin Betton and George Bellshaw to talk about the biggest stories in tennis this week, and there are plenty of them.

  • Emma Raducanu is back winning matches, including by ranking her best win since the US Open semi-final against Maria Sakkari, beating world No 21 Madga Linette - and that is despite a flare-up of the wrist injury that she has been battling and the dregs of a bout of tonsillitis. But why won't she play Billie Jean King Cup?
  • Daniil Medvedev lost his head at the court speed in Indian Wells: "I'm gonna go to the toilet and be as slow as this court is. I'm gonna take 25 minutes. This is not hard courts."
  • And Gilles Cervara has given some insight to Tennis Majors about how he helped Medvedev overcome his slump in form.
  • Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko has pulled out of IW citing a panic attack she suffered after a conversation with WTA CEO Steve Simon. Is tennis moving towards or away from banning Russian and Belarusian tennis players?
  • Jack Draper faces Andy Murray after beating Dan Evans, has there been a changing of the guard in British tennis?
  • Reilly Opelka says tennis should “get rid of doubles, only time people watch are when its singles players or the Bryan Bros." Calvin disagrees...
