Summary

As the rain poured down at Roland Garros on Day 6, some matches failed to deliver on the hype, while others brought unexpected drama and two French players provided rays of sunshine. Catherine, David and Matt discussed it all on the podcast.

Wawrinka – OUT, Thiem vs Wawrinka – OFF, Hugo Gaston – BONJOUR! (4-19 mins)
Does Nadal need to be tested? Korda up next. (19-29 mins)
Inspired Garcia beats Mertens in front of an actual crowd! (29-37 mins)
Halep 6-0, 6-1 Anisimova – what happened? Swiatek on the rise. (37-46 mins)
Martina Trevisan opens up about her anorexia struggle (46-50 mins)
Saturday’s slightly underwhelming order of play (50-60 mins)
The longest tiebreak in Roland Garros history (60 mins – end)
