With the first Grand Slam of the year in the bag, the gang are back to feast on all the action from the tour as the Middle Eastern and Golden Swings begin. Elena Rybakina clinched her second crown of the year in Abu Dhabi whilst Karolina Pliskova, Ugo Humbert and Tommy Paul were back to title winning ways in Transylvania, Marseille and Dallas respectively.
