Summary
Part one - It was an extraordinary night in Paris as Jannik Sinner overcame a remarkable effort from Novak Djokovic to reach his first Roland Garros final. We discuss the crowd support Djokovic received and his emotional exit from the court, how Sinner came out on top in the big moments, and what the future might hold for Djokovic.
Part two (26m49s) - We cover Carlos Alcaraz’s win over Lorenzo Musetti, including the way Musetti got his tactics right to start the match, his physical decline at the end, and the absolute abomination that was the decision to play the match under the roof. Plus, we start looking ahead to Sinner vs Alcaraz.
Part three (52m16s) - A round up of all the results in the doubles and wheelchair events, plus a preview of Aryna Sabalenka vs Coco Gauff in the women’s final.

| 0:24.6 | Well, hello and welcome to the tennis podcast. It is day 13 of Roland Garros just. |
| 0:28.6 | In about half an hour it will be day 14 of Roland Garros. |
| 0:32.6 | It is 11.30 at night. |
| 0:35.1 | We're sitting in an eerily quiet place de musketeer and we are processing what we've just seen on court, Philippe Chattray, between the world number one, Yannick Sinner and the 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic. A match won by Sinner to reach a first role on Garros final, a three-set win over 38-year-old |
| 0:58.0 | Jochovic. But one in which Jochovic, to quote the man himself in a press conference that |

| 1:10.8 | how are we feeling? Yeah, I feel really |

| 1:34.7 | It took some holding off for Sinha, the fact that Jokovic had set points |
| 1:40.0 | and I think he'll rue big mischances and failing to convert on big points because he set himself up with a lot of opportunities despite Sinner playing well, |
| 1:53.5 | but that's where Sinner makes you think of Djokovic from years ago because he's the guy who holds the other player off and ends up winning in |
| 2:02.7 | straight sets. It's the ultimate main character energy, isn't it? He's just lost in straight |
