07/29/24 • 70 min

Catherine, David and Matt convene to discuss the first few days of action in Paris. There's chat about Andy Murray and Dan Evans saving five match points to prolong Murray's career and how perfect it was, victory for Nadalcaraz despite Carlos Alcaraz's nerves and lack of doubles experience, a dominant win for Novak Djokovic over Rafael Nadal in singles and what it means for both players, strong performances from Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, and Sara Errani serving Daniil Medvedev off the court. Plus, Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou spitting again, tennis' big role in the Opening Ceremony, and the problem of singles players being replaced by doubles players so late in the draw.
