Summary

After the drama of Wednesday, it was a bit of a slow news day at Roland Garros today, but Catherine, David and Matt made up for it by recording most of the pod on site with some beers. We talk about discovering Leolia JeanJean, Iga Swiatek's ruthlessness, a confidence boost for Paula Badosa, the aggro on display between Jelena Ostapenko and Alize Cornet in the best night session so far, and Stefanos Tsitsipas' sketchy form.

0:31.9	Chatere, where the night session it's 9.03 pm so they're probably just about to strike the first
0:39.0	ball inside the Philippe Chatere court this evening. I release a corner and Yelena Ostapenko,

1:30.7	and then the pandemic came along and and changed everything and it's just another reminder of
