Part one. Iga Swiatek once again put in a strong performance to beat Emma Raducanu, but she remains on a collision course with Jelena Ostapenko. We discuss both of their performances, as well as a win for Amanda Anisimova, and another impressive victory for Victoria Mboko.

For our first show from Paris in 2025, Catherine, David and Matt are at Roland Garros to discuss the French Open draws.

Part one - Women’s draw. The big headline from the draw was that Jelena Ostapenko has landed in Iga Swiatek’s section. Will that match happen? And just how tricky is Swiatek’s possible route here? There’s also chat about how top heavy the draw is generally, how Aryna Sabalenka’s draw could develop into a hard one, and why it looks like a dream draw for Coco Gauff.

Part two - Men’s draw (from 20m11s). We react to Carlos Alcaraz coming to the draw ceremony and studying the draw, ponder whether things could get difficult for Jannik Sinner, and consider how things might go for Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud and Lorenzo Musetti.

Part three - Results so far this week and the Mike Dickson Award (from 51m40s).
