On media day at Roland Garros, David loitered in the area, Catherine spent time with all the big names, and Matt didn’t speak to Amanda Anisimova. 

Part one - Men’s headlines. We cover Arthur Fils’ aura, Carlos Alcaraz’s love for draws and dogs, Jannik Sinner’s physical concerns, and interesting reflections from Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev on how the sport has changed and maybe left them behind. 

Part two - Women’s headlines (from 38m46s). We discuss just how much Aryna Sabalenka loves being number one, Iga Swiatek’s attempts to talk herself into confidence, and Coco Gauff hints at who’s in the mix. 

Part three - Qualifying results and Novak Djokovic goes in search of title #100 (from 57m34s).
