Episode notes
The most unexpected women’s Roland Garros final in recent memory is set! Joel and Kim react to a dramatic day of women’s semi-final action as teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva powered past Marta Kostyuk to reach the first Grand Slam final of her career, while Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska continued her fairytale run in Paris to become the first qualifier in the Open Era to reach the Roland Garros women’s final. The team break down both semi-finals, discuss how Andreeva turned the tables on Kostyuk after earlier defeats this season, whether Chwalinska will finally catch up with her in Paris after her *ninth* match in total and preview a fascinating championship match between two first-time Grand Slam finalists.
Away from the singles action, Serena Williams took to the practice court at Queen’s Club ahead of her much-anticipated return to professional tennis, while British hopes received a boost as Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara reached the French Open men’s doubles final without dropping a set. Plus, Joel and Kim look ahead to Day 13 in Paris with men’s semi-final action on the horizon, including Alexander Zverev versus Jakub Mensik for a place in the Roland Garros final.
