Can ’charming’ Carlos Alcaraz be bigger than ’The Big 3’?

At 22 years old, Carlos Alcaraz has done what some of the best players in history chase their entire careers - winning the Australian Open to become the youngest man ever to win all four Grand Slams - with Novak Djokovic across the net and Rafa Nadal in the stands.

Where Rafa annoyed his rivals and Novak sometimes felt like public enemy no. 1, is there any limit to what a seemingly universally loved player like Alcaraz can achieve?

Do we need to be worried about Aryna Sabalenka's record in Grand Slam finals? And you have to hear Gabby's story about getting pranked by Michael McIntyre and Roger Federer!

Gabby and Mark are joined by Charlie Eccleshare, Senior Tennis Writer at The Athletic, and tennis broadcaster, Marcus Buckland.

Plus, we chat about Ronaldo going on strike, Man City women bulldozing Chelsea and their hopes of a WSL title, throwback performances from Man United and Spurs, and boxer Jarrell Miller winning by a hair... literally!
