This week, George dials in from Mexico while James and Calvin are down in Eastbourne trying to avoid the heatwave.

Here are the stories they discussed

- Serena Williams has been handed a wildcard for Wimbledon, where she will play her first singles match for four years

- Dan Evans meanwhile is going to have to battle through qualifying if he wants to play the main draw at Wimbledon one more time

- Francisco Cerundolo is the Queen's champion, watched by his father Alejandro who had taken a flight for the first time to see him. He beat Tommy Paul in the final.

- Frances Tiafoe won a title too, beating Taylor Fritz in the Halle final to confirm his advances this year and suggest he could be a dangerous man to face in the Wimbledon draw

- Aryna Sabalenka was bagelled in the final set for the second tournament in a row, Jessica Pegula dishing it out, but it was Linda Noskova who came up trumps in the final

- And finally, Paula Badosa calls out Stefanos Tsitsipas's 'toxic' behaviour
