Manage episode 487688873 series 3638681
Carlos Alcaraz is your 2025 French Open champion—and Alvin Owusu and Torrey Hawkins are here to break down how he did it. From the shot-making fireworks to the tactical chess match against Jannik Sinner, the hosts unpack a men’s final for the ages. They also revisit Coco Gauff’s milestone win on the women’s side and reflect on what both finals mean for the future of tennis. Along the way, they explore the sport’s changing guard, the lasting legacy of the Big Three, and why creativity and emotion still matter just as much as power and precision.
