Talks about the very different and unique Roland Garros 2020, in a different time of the year, with almost no fans, and with a roof over Philippe Chartrier court.

But one thing has remained constant: Rafael Nadal, winning his 13th title, for the third time 4 in a row. How did the conditions affect him? How was Djokovic's game in comparison? How great is this achievement for the Spaniard? Listen now to hear our opinions!

And our winner, Iga Swiatek is a very good novelty in the mix, beating Halep and the 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin en route to the title.

We have the honour of once again having Steve Flink, Tennis Hall Of Fame writer and historian. Steve put a lot of work and a lot of heart in completing a comprehensive account of Pete Sampras's tennis career, from his junior years to hypothetical encounters with the heroes of our generation, namely Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

This book was a joy to read, and with interviews with the greatest names in tennis history such as Jim Courier, Michael Chang, and foreword by Chris Evert, this book will sure capture your full attention from cover to cover. I couldn't put it down.

This part covers Pete Sampra's 1996 season until the end of his career plus what would it look like if he faced the Big 3.
