Part one - It was a quite extraordinary day of action in the women’s draw. We discuss how Iga Swiatek overcame a 6-0 2-1 deficit to defeat Elena Rybakina, the way Elina Svitolina has completely transformed herself as a tennis player, the importance Zheng Qinwen places on Roland Garros, and how Aryna Sabalenka showed how she’s developed as a player to defeat Amanda Anisimova in straight sets.

Part two (INSERT TIMESTAMP) - Carlos Alcaraz’s victory over Ben Shelton took centre stage for the men on Sunday. David commentated on two sets of it and we assess Alcaraz’s level, discuss the fun moments which punctuated the contest, and wonder whether Tommy Paul will pose a threat to Alcaraz in the next round.

Part three (INSERT TIMESTAMP) - We cover Lorenzo Musetti’s victory in the night session over Holger Rune and look ahead to Day 9.

Part one. Madison Keys is doing it again! We start the pod by reacting to her dramatic victory over Sofia Kenin in which she saved three match points. We revisit our conversation about whether she’s in the mix, discuss wins for fellow Americans Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff, and recount a fascinating win for Lois Boisson over compatriot Elsa Jacquemot.

Part two (26m26s). So Joao Fonseca won’t be winning Roland Garros. We cover Jack Draper’s impressive performance to beat the Brazilian which followed another demolition job by Jannik Sinner, this time against Jiri Lehecka. Are Draper and Sinner on course for a quarter final meeting?

Part three (48m34s). Novak Djokovic’s dream draw continues and a look ahead to Day 8.

Part one - Sadly, Iga Swiatek will not be facing Jelena Ostapenko in the Last 16. We analyse Swiatek’s impressive win over Jaqueline Cristian, discuss Elena Rybakina’s demolition of Ostapenko, and find reasons to be excited for Swiatek vs Rybakina instead. Elsewhere, our pod correspondent for the day, Pam Shriver, updates us on wins for Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen, while Matt discusses Amanda Anisimova’s victory over Clara Tauson. Finally, we hear Amelie Mauresmo’s latest press conference about night scheduling, and Pam delivers a moving and powerful response.

Part two (48m41s) - On the men’s side, we cover Lorenzo Musetti setting up a tantalising fourth round clash with Holger Rune, as well as lots of American success with Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe all reaching the Last 16.

Part three (1h03m17s) - At the end of the night session, we wrap up Carlos Alcaraz’s eventful victory over Damir Dzumhur, discuss the sad news that Arthur Fils has withdrawn, and look ahead to Day 7.
