Summary

On Monday night we were live to review Finals weekend in Rome, talk a little bit about our new partnership with The Athletic, and look ahead to Roland Garros. 

Part one - WTA. We discuss Jasmine Paolini beating Coco Gauff in the final, following it up with the doubles title, and forcing us to eat some humble pie. 

Part two - ATP (from 26m30s). We talk about how Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner and how the course of their rivalry has changed. 

Part three - This week in tennis (from 47m58s). Charlie Eccleshare joins the show to preview Roland Garros. Who’s In The Mix?
