Our Roland Garros 2026 Review Show is here!

What a fortnight in Paris it´s been, with two new Grand Slam Champions in Sascha Zverev & Mirra Andreeva.

Host Dan Kiernan is joined by Denmark Davis Cup Captain Freddie Nielsen and GB doubles coach Calvin Betton to look back on a quite extraordinary French Open.

Calvin joins us fresh from coaching Henry Patten and Harri Heliövaara to their third Grand Slam final and their first ever world number one ranking in men's doubles, so there is plenty to get stuck into from the off.

Key talking points:

• Henry and Harry reach the Roland Garros final and claim the world number 1 ranking, with Calvin giving an honest account of what went wrong on the day.
• Sinner's shock exit and whether it was truly an upset, or the inevitable result of an overcrowded schedule catching up with him.
• Fonseca versus Djokovic and whether Roland Garros 2026 was the moment a future Grand Slam champion announced himself on the biggest stage.
• Zverev wins his first Grand Slam but the panel debate whether men's tennis is currently lacking variety and real tactical depth.
• Mirra Andreeva wins the women's title age 19, plus the remarkable story of qualifier Maja Chwalinska reaching the final.
• The Italian tennis culture, Roland Garros and electronic line calling, plus a few strong opinions on how the tournament is run.

On to the grass!
