Episode 75: French Open--Allez We Go!

Live from Paris, Ben and Courtney are super excited for the French Open! We break down the men's and women's draws, which left Maria Sharapova as a big loser and Roger Federer as the big winner. We ask important questions like "Is this finally the year where Novak Djokovic sneaks past Rafael Nadal?" "Who is more likely to win, Rafa or Serena?" "Does Ben help kill spiders?" Then we play another fun game of "Hey, Remember When?" which includes highlights from Rome press conferences including Maria Sharapova owning her iciness and Camila Giorgi's father owning his media beefs. Lastly, Courtney eulogizes the strange, beautiful rise and fall of Dinara Safina's tennis career. She may just be our immortal.
