Roland Garros 2020 is upon us, en automne, barely two weeks after the US Open and perhaps against better judgment. But what happen-ed happen-ed and here we are in Paris. The cool, damp conditions will likely produce grinding and unpredictable tennis, which has made predictions futile. The best predictor is how players have fared so far during the restarted season. In addition to the draw preview, we've got a few Covid updates, several messes to check in on, and a Dramatic Reading full of Canadian Content.
0:30 Against all odds, Roland Garros is happening
4:50 Men's draw preview: who will benefit from these tough conditions? Rafa gets Thiem, Djoko gets Tsitsipas/Meddy/Berrettini
19:00 We both failed probability but no, Virginia, the draw's not rigged
28:20 Women's draw preview: for the first time in a while, there's a clear favorite (but her road's not easy)
37:20 Women's bottom half - what to expect of Pliskova's health? Will someone other than Simona win her third Slam here?
42:15 Covid updates: spectator limit reduced to 1000 per day; Paire is in, but Verdasco is out
47:10 Buckle up for lots of commentator talk about weather and new balls
52:50 An enduring, recurring mess by Boris Becker
55:35 Dramatic Reading, a tribute to the trap king of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada
