Part one - We discuss the main men’s results from Tuesday at Roland Garros, including Joao Fonseca’s fantastic performance to beat Hubert Hurkacz. Will David’s wild prediction actually come off? We also cover Novak Djokovic’s first round win, a tough loss for Daniil Medvedev, and Jakub Mensik channeling his inner Djokovic to defeat Alexandre Muller and the Court 14 crowd.

Part two (36m40s) - On the women’s side, Coco Gauff forgot her racquets, Ons Jabeur spoke out against the scheduling, and Matt watched Mirra Andreeva come back to defeat Cristina Bucsa and then became a Hailey Baptiste guy.

Part one - We cover an impressive first performance for Iga Swiatek, the still taboo subject of periods in sport, and Naomi Osaka’s sadness and worrying press conference following her narrow defeat to Paula Badosa.

Part two (35m12s). Novak Djokovic finally does his pre tournament press conference and it does not disappoint. We discuss his answers on Andy Murray, being part of the Nadal ceremony, and the form he found in Geneva. Plus, shock defeats for Francisco Cerundolo and Taylor Fritz.

Part three (58m22s). Jannik Sinner wins a fun one. And FFT President Gilles Moretton says Roland Garros night slot is based on ‘what’s better for spectators’. Sigh.

Part one - Our reaction to the ceremony honouring Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, which saw Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray come onto court to celebrate his career.

Part two - Women’s results and headlines (28m00s). Dominant starts for Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen, we learn more about Victoria Mboko and Eva Lys as they set up a second round clash, and Jasmine Paolini survives a scare.

Part three - Men’s results and a look ahead to Day 2 (50m35s). There weren’t too many great matches on the men’s side, but Lorenzo Musetti impressed, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard brought the vibes on Lenglen, and Tommy Paul beat Elmer Moller and then revealed more about his truck being repossessed.
