A Fight Worth Fighting
Manage episode 486081368 series 2362029
All Round of 16 matches are set at the 2025 Roland Garros, after a number of top men crashed out early (though none of the true favorites) and most of the women’s contenders remain on a crash course toward some fiery week two matchups. We look at what’s to come and discuss our week one highlights – including Svitolina-Pera, Keys-Kenin, Draper-Monfils, and Mboko’s run. The episode’s title comes from the tournament’s refusal to schedule women during its flawed night session concept and the ensuing controversy, with a fight led by Ons Jabeur and much of the tennis press. Plus, a review of the Rafa Nadal tribute (a job well done!).
1:25 RG does the Rafa tribute right
8:05 Upsets galore on the men’s side
13:45 The men’s draw as it stands
24:25 Our women’s draw highlights
38:45 RG night session scheduling is a fight worth fighting
52:50 Et ceteras: Jasmine “Solomon” Paolini, Ivanisevic joins Team Tsitsipas
