Summary
On a wet day at Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal, Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic all cruised through their matches, while Naomi Osaka was beaten by Amanda Anisimova before saying that she might not play Wimbledon due to the lack of ranking points. Catherine, David and Matt talk through all of that, as well as comeback victories for Emma Raducanu and Bianca Andreescu, a round one exit for defending champion Barbora Krejcikova, the special Angelique Kerber scenes, and all of the player reaction to the Wimbledon-Tours stand off.

| 0:35.7 | avoided the rain. So it was a good end. Yeah. The rain has been a big feature of the day folks |
| 0:41.4 | prepared to hear Brit's winging about the weather. Matt here too, hello Matt. Hello, yes, avoiding |
