The semi-final picture is nearly set at Roland-Garros, as Kim and Chris catch up on the Quarter Finals of Roland Garros 2025! Among the semifinalists, we see a mix of familiar faces and standout surprises. Top seeds like Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz have delivered on expectations—but it’s the emergence of local French Wild Card Lois Boisson that has captured the hearts of fans. The 21-year-old Frenchwoman, playing in her first-ever Grand Slam, continued her dream run today by upsetting teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva to book a place in the semi-finals. From unknown to unstoppable, Boisson is rewriting the script in Paris.

They also discuss the lack of default for Lorenzo Musetti during his 4 set win over Frances Tiafoe after he accidentally kicked a ball thus hitting a line judge. Other players have been defaulted for less - should he have been too?

Kim and Chris also discuss the ongoing debate around the lack of women’s night matches scheduled at Roland Garros, with all four women’s quarter finals being longer than the whitewash that was Carlos Alcaraz v Tommy Paul, lending further critique to Amelie Mauresmo’s comments around the rationale for night session scheduling! They also weigh in on who they think will make the finals at Roland-Garros, looking ahead to the semi finals over the coming days.

Football meets Tennis as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) celebrate their Champions League Triumph at Roland-Garros as Ousmane Dembélé brings the cup to Philippe-Chatrier and Alina has a front row seat to see all the action....on the big screen. Someone else who had to catch-up on the action was Novak Djokovic who was playing the Night Session match as the football was on, meaning he head loud cheers every time Paris had scored and he couldn't believe they had scored 5 times against Inter!

Alina and Chris also bring you their highlights from the week in media and the funny clips that didn't make it into the pod as yet, including Coco on Tommy Paul going fishing in his truck after training, Bublik calling Draper a UFC fighter and Qinwen Zheng telling the medai what she gets up to in her spare time and it sounds fun, if you like dancing and singing and shopping!

They wrap up the episode with their top tips for Roland-Garros, how to get tickets and which tickets are the best for the French Open. In traditional Tennis Weekly fashion they wrap-up the episode with the Peak, Pit and Pleasant Surprise from Paris and say goodbye to Tennis Weekly Journal until next year.

Brits, over and out. It’s been another thrilling last couple of days at Roland Garros so why not join Joel and Kim as they take stock on all the Round 4 action in Paris. Jack Draper fell to a red-hot drop shotting maestro Alexander Bublik to bring his campaign to an abrupt end whilst Cam Norrie failed to match his Geneva performance with a straight sets defeat to Novak Djokovic who won his 100th (!) singles match at the French Open.

Elsewhere, Iga Swiatek brought herself back from the brink with a hard thought three set win over Elenea Rybakina. Does it prove she is still the Queen of Clay or are there bigger tests to come? And in one of the stories so far, French wildcard No. 361 ranked Lois Boisson pulled off a stunning upset over Jessica Pegula to book her spot in the quarterfinals versus Mirra Andreeva. Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka also cruised through once again without dropping a set. Joel and Kim also give a midway Collect a Set update and it’s a historic moment but not for the right reasons…
