Summary
John, Sam, and Stevie officially enter Roland-Garros mode, where one question takes over the entire men’s draw: can anyone stop Jannik Sinner? The guys make their picks, debate why Novak Djokovic somehow keeps showing up near the top of the odds board, throw out dark horses, and come up with increasingly ridiculous theories for how Sinner could actually lose.
On the women’s side, nobody agrees on anything. Iga, Sabalenka, Coco, Rybakina — the board turns into complete chaos as the guys make title picks, argue over who’s being underrated, and try to figure out whether taking “the field” might be the safest bet.
Plus: Most Beautiful Courts returns with absurd tennis postcard locations, and things completely derail during an overrated TV show draft featuring Yellowstone, Friends, Stranger Things, airport breakfast outrage, and several takes that may age worse than the Roland-Garros predictions.
