Catherine Whitaker and David Law begin this week\\u2019s show by discussing the aftermath of Justin Gimelstob\\u2019s decision to finally stand down from his roles on the ATP board and with Tennis Channel.

Will this be used as an opportunity to change the culture of men\\u2019s tennis? Who are some of the candidates to replace Gimelstob? Did Stan Wawrinka do the right thing by publishing a powerful letter condemning Gimelstob and the actions of the ATP board? And why were Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic all so reluctant to express similar feelings? 

Turning to actual tennis results, there\\u2019s a look at Jo Konta\\u2019s improved clay court form, the rise of Cristian Garin, titles for Greek duo Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari, and Pablo Cuevas\\u2019 new penchant for trick shots.

All the major storylines from the first few days of Madrid are also covered, including Roger Federer\\u2019s return to clay, Sloane Stephens\\u2019 new partnership with Sven Groeneveld, and Felix Auger-Aliassime\\u2019s win over Denis Shapovalov.

Finally, Catherine gets a chance to take stock of Janko Tipsarevic\\u2019s Tennis Podcast interview with David, which was released on April 11th. In particular, Catherine scrutinises Tipsarevic\\u2019s views on equal prize money.
