Episode Description from the Publisher

ATP writer Sam Jacot joins the podcast to discuss all the drama at Roland Garros, where the tennis keeps delivering and the chaos keeps coming. Jacot recaps Joao Fonseca's impressive wins over Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud, and explains how the Brazilian teenager's game has come together in Paris. The journalist also reacts to the brutal call that went against Casper Ruud, and dives into the weight of expectation on Alexander Zverev as the favorite to win his first major title. And Jacot analyzes the rise of young players Jakub Mensik and Rafael Jodar, who have each reached their first major quarterfinal at Roland Garros. Jacot also dives into to the women's action, where Marta Kostyuk took out four-time champ Iga Swiatek. The writer explains what went wrong for Swiatek and looks ahead to an electric QF matchup between Kostyuk and her Ukrainian countrywoman Elina Svitolina. The guys debate whether it's Aryna Sabalenka's tournament to lose, whether Mirra Andreeva can secure her first slam title, or whether more upsets will rain down in Paris. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
