Summary
As day 1 of the French Open 2019 drew to a close, Catherine, Matt and Simon Briggs got together in the media restaurant to share stories about what they had seen and heard at Roland Garros during an action and people-packed Sunday.
What happened to Angelique Kerber, who was dumped out by a teenager in the first match of the day?
How did Roger Federer look - tennis and outfit-wise - on his return to Roland Garros after four years away. Opinions differed, particularly when it came to his fashion choice.
The performances of Stefano Tsitsipas, Garbine Muguruza and Grigor Dimitrov were examined, and the team look ahead to day 2.
The Tennis Podcast will be daily throughout the French Open, the Fever-Tree Championships at Queen’s, and Wimbledon.
It is produced in association with Telegraph Sport.
