  • Roland Garros Day 9 - Bublik, Boisson, what is happening??
    Jun 2 2025

    Part one. We start by reacting to Alexander Bublik’s extraordinary performance to knock out Jack Draper. Just how good was he? And could Draper have done anything differently? We then look ahead to Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev as both men reached the last eight with ease.

    Part two (30m40s). The remarkable run of Lois Boisson continued as she beat third seed Jessica Pegula in an enthralling encounter on Chatrier. We discuss the experience in the stadium and how Boisson’s game disrupted Pegula. But can she keep it going against Mirra Andreeva? Plus, let the hype begin for Coco Gauff vs Madison Keys.

    Part three (48m08s). We cover Jannik Sinner’s routine win in the night session and the Day 10 order of play as the tournaments reaches the quarter-finals stage.

  • Roland Garros Day 8 - A game-changing day for Iga Swiatek?
    Jun 1 2025

    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.
