Roland Garros 2024 Week 1

In this episode, we finally reunite after what feels like an eternity apart, swapping tales of our recent travel escapades! We dive headfirst into the whirlwind of tennis, dissecting the French Open and the pre-game warm-up tournaments with the fervor of commentators who've had too much coffee. (Spoiler alert: we have.) We discuss Iga Swiatek's domination in the clay court warm-up tourneys, mourn Nadal's early French Open exit, and fawn over Naomi Osaka, as usual. Veering into serious territory, we provide updates on Alexander Zverev's domestic abuse trial, before swerving back into pop culture, with nods to Taylor Swift, Kendrick and Drake. Because clearly, what every tennis podcast needs is a healthy dose of celebrity gossip. Finally, retirement in sports gets a nod too, amidst our tournament predictions and upcoming exciting matchups!00:00How are we?
