The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare joins Catherine, David and Matt to discuss Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff reaching the Roland Garros final and ahead to the men’s semi’s-finals on Friday.
Part one - We cover Aryna Sabalenka’s 7-6 4-6 6-0 win over Iga Swiatek. Was this a good match? What on earth happened in the final set? And where does Swiatek go from here now her ranking has dropped to No.7 and her streak in Paris is over?
Part two (29m26s) - Coco Gauff ended Lois Boisson’s remarkable run in Paris with a straightforward victory. Where was this match won and lost? And what does their head-to-head so far tell us about what might happen when Gauff and Sabalenka meet on Saturday?
Part three (49m05s) - A round up of some other results from the tournament so far, including a big shock in the women’s wheelchair event and mixed doubles success for Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. Plus, a preview of the men’s semi-finals. Does Lorenzo Musetti stand a chance against Carlos Alcaraz? And can Novak Djokovic replicate what he did to Alexander Zverev against Jannik Sinner?
