And with the recent departures of Andrey Rublev, Donna Vekic, Marta Kostyuk, Markéta Vondroušová and perhaps most notably Sloane Stephens, Mike tells us that tennis represents less than 1% of Nike's business from its $40 billion turnover. Mike also told us that the tennis industry "needs to improve" if it wants to fend off the threat posed by rival game pickleball.

Maiden Indian Wells titles for Elena Rybakina and Carlos Alcaraz rounded off two fun weeks in Tennis Paradise and our man on the ground, Jack, was there to see some of the action. From an Andy Murray win in straight sets to Daniil Medvedev complaining about the speed of the surface and saying he should know "because" he's a "hardcourt specialist," Talking Tennis has you covered. Can Medvedev and Sabalenka still take positives from the tournament despite falling at the final hurdle? And what's up with all or nothing specialist Iga Swiatek? We will talk about all this and more.

As we enter the final stages in the desert, Damian and Mario take you through the tournament thus far and look ahead to what's in store. Aryna Sabalenka's back-to-back wins over Barbora Krejcikova and Coco Gauff have been impressive. But can she beat Maria Sakkari and then potentially Iga Swiatek to win another big title in 2023? Sakkari herself is enjoying her second consecutive good run at Indian Wells, but will she finally be able to get over the line? On the men's side, can anyone stop Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev from meeting in the final? Join Damian and Mario to hear their thoughts as they talk tennis.

A lot has happened at Indian Wells over the first three rounds... and Damian and Mario are here to tell you all about it. On the men's side, Stefanos Tsitsipas came and went, but with shoulder issues that cast doubt over his Miami appearance, Daniil Medvedev is still in the tournament, but has lamented the court speed, while Andy Murray continues to defy both his age and hip, as he is set to play Jack Draper, in Monday's eagerly anticipated Round 3 clash. On the women's side, Iga Swiatek has been dishing out more breadsticks and bagels, but will she be able to do the same to Bianca Andreescu, in the battle of the US Open champions of 2019 and 2022. And who will emerge the winner between Aryna Sabalenka and Barbora Krejčíková in Tuesday's clash? All this and more as Damian and Nick talk to you about all the latest goings on in the desert.

Daniil Medvedev has now won three titles in a row, and beaten a number of top ten players en route, after a barren spell, but does this mean he's back?
