Could Roger Federer and Serena Williams have played their last ever matches at Roland Garros? That was the question on the Day 8 podcast after they both exited the tournament on Sunday, in drastically different circumstances.

Did Federer do the right thing by withdrawing ahead of his 4th round match? And how did Elena Rybakina beat Serena?

Elsewhere, there’s much excitement as Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev set up their last eight clash and chat about a host of surprise women’s quarter-finalists.
