    Mark Gellard joins Candy Reid to talk about the results on Day 11 of RG 2025 - should Musetti have been disqualified; do the women have a point and should be playing evening matches on Chatrier; and can anyone beat world number one Jannik Sinner (or even take a set off him)? The duo discuss all the big topics and there's even a guest appearance from a four-legged friend who is having trouble using the litter tray - don't worry, it's not Mark (he deciphered the lavatory last year!)

    RG Live Host Candy Reid is joined by Bryan Shelton (father and coach of player Ben) and top doubles coach Dan Kiernan on Day 10 of RG 2025. The trio discuss Ben Shelton's terrific clay court season, which included a R16 run and close 4-set defeat by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Bryan gives insight into a great Clay Major for the USA players and his thoughts on the champions. Both coaches speak about the need to stay positive for their players; how the season is just too long and the 1000 level tournaments should no longer be two weeks. It's a fascinating conversation - so please enjoy! Available to watch on YouTube @DOAPTC
