Leylah Annie Fernandez and More Rising Stars Arrive

The season of fresh faces continues with 18 year old Canadian star on the rise Leylah Annie Fernandez taking her first WTA title in Monterrey, becoming the first Canadian to take a title in 18 months... and Jason tries to take some credit.
Rising stars leave the guys thirsting for more as cool cat Aslan Karatsev takes his fine form (and fine calves) from his AO semi-final to his first title at the Dubai Duty Free (and Crowd Free) Open. Honourable mention to emerging South African star Lloyd Harris, taking out the likes of Dominic Thiem (who?) and Shapo.
Even more stars emerged in Acapulco as the guys check out (for more than just their tennis) new semi finalists Dominik Koepfer (Germany) and Lorenzo Musetti (Italy). The guys rise up for current stars Zverev and Tsitsipas (boyfriend to Aldwin) for what was one of the best matches of 2021 so far. Zverev would outshine Tsitsi to extend the latter's ATP 500 losing streak in finals to six.
The guys end with discussing the draws at the Miami Open and the tweets and musings of Reilly Opelka and Benoit Paire respectively on the current state of the sport during the pandemic.
