Andre, Vansh, and Owen break down a wonderful tournament in Rome this week on Tennis and Bagels!  We begin with a recap of the 57th edition of the best rivalry ever on the men's side: Djokovic-Nadal in the final. What made this match closer than the pair's recent clashes on clay, and what are the takeaways?  How should Djokovic feel about coming up just short despite a huge physical effort at the end of the tournament?  And what is the verdict on Nadal's lead-up to his beloved Roland-Garros?  We also discuss Thiem, Sonego, and Tsitsipas and their achievements in Rome and prospects going forward.  Also, is there a method to Medvedev's madness on clay, or is he just at a loss for ideas and looking for plants to mess with?

Next is the WTA side -- Świątek reached a scary level of dominance against Plíšková in the final, bagging a big title and saving a pair of match points in the third round -- one with a winner.  Should we re-evaluate Barty's status as Roland-Garros favorite based on this result?  Gauff had a great week in Rome, toppling another top player and good prediction to win Roland-Garros -- Sabalenka -- on the way to the semifinals.  Osaka's struggles on clay have continued this season; how do we feel about her chances to master the surface?  All this and more on this episode!

With some spare time between the Madrid and Rome wrap-up podcasts, Andre and Owen look back at one of the best ever Rome finals: Federer vs. Nadal in 2006. The rivalry was bubbling excitedly in 2005 and the start of 2006, and boiled over with this classic five-set, five-plus-hour final. How did Nadal and Federer play differently all those years ago? How did the match unfold? What mistakes did Federer make on his two match points, and in the fifth set tiebreak? What was playing Nadal on clay like *before* the Spaniard became the King of Clay? And what would (or would not) have changed if Federer had won this match? All this and more on the latest episode of Tennis & Bagels, and be ready for our next look into the past: an upcoming episode on Federer’s run to the 2009 Roland-Garros title, which will hopefully involve all three hosts!

In this week's episode, Andre is back with Owen and Vansh to chat about what it feels like to play on clay, why some players face a bit more of challenge there, and, of course, be extremely bold in our predictions (ok, that is just Andre. Vansh and Owen are normally pretty spot on.)

Andre, Vansh, and Owen recap the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters! After COVID-19 put this tournament on hold in 2020, it was lovely to see it back this year, and the field delivered a week of entertaining tennis! Stefanos Tsitsipas won his first Masters 1000, soundly defeating Andrey Rublev with a tactical masterclass in the final. What does the future hold for these two young guys? Should the early defeats of Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic be the cause for concern? And what of the upcoming return of Roger Federer and Dominic Thiem? All this and more on the latest episode of Tennis and Bagels!

In this special edition of the Tennis and Bagels Podcast, we discuss a bit on which player would benefit the most from good results in this tournament, on the short term going deeper into the clay court season leading up to Roland Garros, and for their future careers. The answer will shock you!... or maybe not. But sadly for Daniil Medvedev, he did not have a chance to participate in the Monte-Carlo Masters. All the best and a speedy recovery to the World No.2.

In this special edition of the Tennis and Bagels Podcast, we open up about what kinds of matches and results we would have loved to see - but some of our hopes were already shattered. A Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic a la Madrid 2009 will not be possible anymore. But there are many more things we want to see in the world of tennis.
