ATP Writer Sam Jacot joins the podcast to recap a thrilling first few days at Roland Garros, where several top seeds have fallen victim to upsets. Jacot discusses what wrong for Americans Taylor Fritz and Emma Navarro, and analyzes why Daniil Medvedev is still searching for better results after another early exit. The journalist also breaks down an epic encounter between Paula Badosa and Naomi Osaka, dives into Ben Shelton's ability to dig deep, and explains why Jakub Mensik has that special something after an dramatic day against a French player.

Jacot also weighs in on the fitting tribute to Rafael Nadal on the first day of the tournament, and looks ahead to some of the best Round 2 matchups. And the ATP Writer offers a few predictions about what to expect as Roland Garros rolls along. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
