Summary

On Day 3 of this mysterious French Open, there were plenty of reasons for it to feel more like a normal Grand Slam: epic matches, new stars emerging, familiar names winning, and results which left predictions in tatters. But Catherine, David and Matt still have a nagging sense that something isn't quite right.

Jelena Ostapenko. Remember her? (0-4 mins)
Clara Tauson breaks Brady’s heart (and more importantly, David’s) (5-9 mins)
Who is Clara Tauson, anyway? (9-12 minutes)
Danielle Collins - that’s how to deal with underarm serves (12-14 mins)
Sloane Stephens, Karolina Pliskova, Sofia Kenin (14-31 mins)
No Brits left in singles (31-33 mins)
Double-bounces - should you call them on yourself? (33-40 mins)
Imperious Djokovic (43-44 mins)
Tsitsipas, Rublev come-of-age-in-best-of-5 (44-54 mins)
Is it any less weird yet? (54-61 mins)
Spider-gate (61 mins to end)

0:39.6	at the French Open, no night sessions at all. It was a little bit warmer today according to
0:45.6	the weather forecast. Was it Matt and David any less weird? I thought in the first few hours
0:52.5	the day it was considerably less weird and it was a little bit more like, you know how Matt,
0:57.7	we had that one day at the US Open when suddenly it felt like a grand slam. There was a period for a

2:09.8	and not only that I went for Madison Brangle to beat Yelena Rosterpenko and she lost six,
