Manage episode 487700759 series 2508261
[Reuploaded to fix what was an incomplete file on some podcast platforms the last time!]
Ben and Tumaini, on the mic one last time from their house in Paris, are fresh off two thrilling finals at Roland Garros.
We start with the just-ended men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, which produced some of the best tennis ever seen after a five-hour mark. What made this match so good? And was it too long or just right?
We then get to the women's final, in which Coco Gauff won with her immense mentality and physicality, and in which Aryna Sabalenka turned into a human salt shaker in defeat.
Lastly, we discuss what Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic should do with themselves at crossroads in their near futures.
