The inaugural ATP Cup gave us some of the best matches and moments of 2020. Now we run it back, as tour-level tennis resumes with a 12-team field in Melbourne. Gill creates a special formula to power rank the teams and project the tournament. The stat of the week powered by DB4 Tennis explores the Big 3's quest for the double grand slam. Finally, notes from a documentary on Andrey Rublev (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNcEsVbhIx8&t=1222s), Rafael Nadal's interview with CNN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBuqsuy4Qdc) and Blair Henley's interview with Stefanos Tsitsipas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TAp-3bLltY&t=1s).
