This week Erik and Aidan recap the result of the Canadian Open, where American Ben Shelton emerged victorious! The young American was definitely a top contender, but this was still an unexpected result, achieving a finals victory over Russian Karen Khachanov. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Masters was already underway, with the first couple of rounds already completed. Whether it is fatigue or simply the tough conditions in Ohio at this time of the year, many top seeds have already fallen out of the tournament.

Be sure to check back next week for a recap of the full Cincinnati tournament!

This week Erik and Aidan kick off the episode by discussing the pair of ATP 500 tournaments that happened this past week in Halle and London at Queen's Club. In Halle, the story of the week was Sinner getting upset by Alexander Bublik in the second round. Immediately, this loss has driven speculation about both Sinner's level on grass and his mental state after his loss at Roland Garros. On the other side, Alcaraz won the title at Queen's club for a second time, giving him even more momentum going into Wimbledon in a couple of weeks. The pair then discuss some of their 2025 predictions that they made at the end of last year, and look back at how accurate their commentary from that time has been through six months.
