LES GRANDS RÉCITS - Longtemps, l'Open d'Australie, déserté par les meilleurs joueurs du monde, a été le parent pauvre du Grand Chelem, au point de craindre de perdre ce prestigieux statut. Il a fallu attendre l'édition 1983 et la présence de stars comme Mats Wilander ou John McEnroe, pour stopper l'infernale spirale.

It's hard to know what to say about the extraordinary Rafael Nadal winning a 14th Roland Garros title and a 22nd Grand Slam title, but Catherine, David and Matt try their best to put his achievement into words. How did Casper Ruud provide the perfect match up for Nadal? Did Ruud's idolisation of Nadal affect the match? In what way did the match not quite feel fitting for the occasion? What does Nadal plan to do now to treat his foot? And will he end up winning the Grand Slam race?

It was a weird day at Roland Garros, with Alexander Zverev's injury curtailing the first semi-final and a protestor interrupting the second. Catherine, David and Matt discuss where the matches were won and lost, how the conditions impacted Zverev vs. Nadal, the emotional toll this tournament is taking on Nadal, what happened to Marin Cilic as he faded, and why reaching a first slam final is a big deal for Casper Ruud.

After Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek set up a dream women's final, Catherine, David and Matt are joined by Pam Shriver to review the semi-finals, to discuss the careers of Gauff and Swiatek to date and the possibility of a new rivalry blossoming, and to look ahead to Saturday's final. How has Gauff developed over the last few years? And how does Swiatek compare to other dominant World No.1s? We also chat about the men's semi-finals and the spectacular Casper Ruud-Holger Rune aggro before moving on to Catherine's chat with Amelie Mauresmo about the night session scheduling and issue of how female players have been treated at this tournament.

With everyone still recovering from the very late finish to Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic, Wednesday dawned with Amelie Mauresmo's press conference, and Catherine was there to ask her about why the scheduling has favoured men's matches over women's matches this tournament. Mauresmo's comments - that it's because men's tennis is more appealing - cast a big shadow over the day's play and we talked about why they were so damaging and disappointing on the pod. Elsewhere, we discuss Iga Swiatek's form, whether Jessica Pegula can do even better than Grand Slam quarter-finals, how Daria Kasatkina and Casper Ruud both broke new ground, and Marin Cilic's continued resurgence.

We've known for years that you should never count out Rafael Nadal. And yet we keep doing it! After his epic four set victory over Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros, Catherine, David and Matt gather in the middle of the night to talk about how he did it and what it all means. There's chat about Nadal's fast start, Djokovic's recovery, the way Nadal looked physically stronger, the role of the crowd, the tension between the two players, and Nadal's press conference where he stressed once again that he could be playing his final Roland Garros. Elsewhere, what happened to Carlos Alcaraz today? Was this the best Grand Slam performance of Zverev's career? And in what way has tennis left us feeling uncomfortable when talking about Zverev? In the women's draw, we discuss how Martina Trevisan overcame Leylah Fernandez's spirited fightback and how mature Coco Gauff looked in her victory over Sloane Stephens.

Monday was the day when the bottom half of the men's draw blew wide open, with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev both losing to inspired performances from Holger Rune and Marin Cilic. Is that the best Cilic has played since the 2014 US Open? How did Tsitsipas assess the match in his press conference? And who is favourite to come through the bottom half? In the women's draw, we talk about an epic first set between Iga Swiatek and Qinwen Zheng, the importance of Zheng openly talking about her period pains, the ever reliable Jessica Pegula, and the scintillating form of Daria Kasatkina.

We asked the tennis gods for better matches, and they delivered, with Rafael Nadal defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in five sets on Sunday. How come it never ceases to be amazing to watch Nadal win like this at Roland Garros? Will he recover in time for Djokovic? And is Felix getting closer? Elsewhere, Catherine, David and Matt are stunned by the level of Carlos Alcaraz and assess his quarter-final against Alexander Zverev. In the women's draw, is Coco Gauff ready to go all the way? How did Leylah Fernandez expose Amanda Anisimova's weaknesses? And is Sloane Stephens back to her best? Oh, and Roger Federer's got a dog.

How do you perk up a dull day at Roland Garros? You get Simon Briggs on the pod! He joined Catherine, David and Matt to talk through Iga Swiatek's worst performance in a while and why Qinwen Zheng could trouble her in the next round, the excellent form of Daniil Medvedev, a bad day for French players on Chatrier, Paula Badosa's injury, a much-needed easy win for Stefanos Tsitsipas, and growing excitement for a potential Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal quarter-final.

On 27th May 2012, Catherine and David recorded the first edition of The Tennis Podcast in David's parent's house. Ten years later, we've come a long way, and we marked the occasion by recording a bonus podcast from on site at Roland Garros with our favourite guest, Mary Carillo! Mary tells us some stories from her visits to Paris over the years and we can get stuck into some of the biggest issues facing tennis today.

After the drama of Wednesday, it was a bit of a slow news day at Roland Garros today, but Catherine, David and Matt made up for it by recording most of the pod on site with some beers. We talk about discovering Leolia JeanJean, Iga Swiatek's ruthlessness, a confidence boost for Paula Badosa, the aggro on display between Jelena Ostapenko and Alize Cornet in the best night session so far, and Stefanos Tsitsipas' sketchy form.BECOME A FRIEND OF THE TENNIS PODCAST Friends of The Tennis Podcast help us to produce the show year-round, and receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts throughout the year, including Tennis Re-Lived, listener questions, and Grand Slam review shows.

Wednesday was the day this Roland Garros came alive, with Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev both being forced to save match point in their five-set victories, and the women's draw losing Maria Sakkari, all in the space of a few hours. How come Alcaraz ended up having to save match point? And will this match make him more or less likely to win the tournament? Catherine, David and Matt also talk about Emma Raducanu's defeat and the coverage of it, how Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are shaping up, and who might come through the wide open bottom half in the women's draw.

Day three at Roland Garros belonged to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Catherine, David and Matt discuss how he briefly rolled back the years against Casper Ruud before the moving scenes of his injury and retirement ceremony. How will he be remembered in tennis? Elsewhere, why can't Lorenzo Musetti win from two sets up? How much fun was Hugo Gaston vs Alex de Minaur? Are the night sessions at Roland Garros working? And how disappointing is it that most players' views on Wimbledon are entirely self-interested?

On a wet day at Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal, Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic all cruised through their matches, while Naomi Osaka was beaten by Amanda Anisimova before saying that she might not play Wimbledon due to the lack of ranking points. Catherine, David and Matt talk through all of that, as well as comeback victories for Emma Raducanu and Bianca Andreescu, a round one exit for defending champion Barbora Krejcikova, the special Angelique Kerber scenes, and all of the player reaction to the Wimbledon-Tours stand off.

So much for a leisurely Sunday start to Roland Garros. Catherine, David and Matt convene at the end of a day which saw Ons Jabeur upset by Magda Linette in the first match of the tournament on Court Philippe-Chatrier. What happened to Jabeur? What was the feeling like around the grounds when she lost? And will this defeat have lasting effects as she heads to Wimbledon? Elsewhere, we talk about unsurprising but sad defeats for Garbine Muguruza and Dominic Thiem, Felix Auger-Aliassime's fightback, a rusty performance but a routine win from Carlos Alcaraz, the way Coco Gauff's draw has opened up, David's first French Open experience, and an anti-climactic result for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Looking ahead to tomorrow, why is Naomi Osaka vs Amanda Anisimova scheduled on Lenglen at 11am?

We begin by discussing the fact that the ATP, WTA and ITF have decided to strip Wimbledon of ranking points over its decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players. What are the main factors behind this decision? What other options were available to them? Will this lead to further stand offs between the tours and the Grand Slams? And why have the ATP and WTA not stripped tour events of ranking points too? We then switch to talking about the headlines from an excellent media day at Roland Garros, which Catherine, David and Matt all attended. Perhaps the highlight was the way in which the leading WTA players - Naomi Osaka, Iga Swiatek, Ons Jabeur and Paula Badosa - all opened up, revealing so much about how they're feeling. On the men's side, Novak Djokovic's game face and Rafael Nadal's humour got our attention.

We made it to Paris! Despite Eurostar's best efforts to thwart our journey, Catherine, David and Matt are on site all together at a Grand Slam for the first time since January 2020, and we're very excited about that. After detailing our journey, we get stuck into the draws. How do we feel about Djokovic, Alcaraz and Nadal all being in the same half? Who will capitalise in the other half? Who could stand in Iga Swiatek's way? And who will emerge from the bottom half headlined by Naomi Osaka vs Amanda Anisimova?

Catherine, David and Matt review the last few days in Rome, which saw Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic sweep all before them. Will Swiatek be on her own in a mix of one at Roland Garros? What about Ons Jabeur? Did Djokovic find exactly what he needed to be ready for the French Open? How much of a concern is Rafael Nadal's foot pain? And how do we rate Stefanos Tsitsipas' chances in Paris?

Aujourd'hui j'ai l'immense honneur d'accueillir notre Riton National, j'ai nommé Henri Leconte.  Avant de décrire son parcours, deux petits mots sur le personnage : dès les premières secondes on se marre. Il est cash, direct et hyper sympathique. J'avais l'impression de le connaître depuis toujours. Revenons à l'épisode : Peut-être êtes-vous plus jeune que moi, mais perso j'ai vibré devant ma télé. Combien de fois j'ai revu ses matchs en replay, à l'époque c'était bien sûr la casette VHS dans le magnétoscope…  Je me suis régalé à voir son jeu de gaucher, ses coups, son match où il bat Yannick Noah, la coupe Davis qu'il remporte avec Guy Forget en 1991. Mais Henri Leconte, comme il le dit, s'est pris des taules : le match perdu contre Mats V-Wilander en 1988, très difficile moralement. Il nous raconte cette période où la France lui a presque tourné le dos, lui qui portait l'espoir d'une victoire à Roland Garros. Puis, il revient aussi sur son retour en 1991, cette fois-ci pour gagner contre les meilleurs joueurs mondiaux en double à la Coupe Davis. C'est un épisode dont je suis très fier. Henri nous parle de son enfance, sa carrière, ses moments de joie, ses moments très difficiles. Puis nous élargissons la discussion sur le Tennis en général, les champions d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. Un épisode collector que je vous conseille, même si vous n'êtes pas fan de Tennis. Bonne écoute !  Nous citons les épisodes :  #82 – Taïg Khris – CEO de OnOff, Sportif   #81 – Stéphane Soumier – Journaliste   #70 – Bertrand Piccard – Explorateur   #52 – Myriam Lamare – Championne du monde de boxe   #18 – Morgan Bourc'his – Triple Champion du monde d'apnée.
