About this episode

There was a morning after the night before feeling to Day 8 at Roland Garros as the tournament picked up following the 3am finish. Catherine, David and Matt discuss Iga Swiatek’s double bagel and look ahead to quarter-final match ups between Coco Gauff and Ons Jabeur and Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos Alcaraz. There’s also chat about Jannik Sinner coming through the Corentin Moutet test and Hubert Hurkacz’s bizarre effort to get the umpire changed.
