Aryna Sabalenka vs. Elena Rybakina

Who wins?

#HeadNotHeart #PollVault

Nadal semi retired.
Rune finished.
Alcaraz with no serve or forehand
Sinner with a broken hip.

Djokovic when Roland Garros starts:

Andrey Rublev has had a rubbish time of late. Good to see him playing well again.

But where is Alcaraz right now? Not 100%, clearly.

Elena Rybakina 2-5 final set down, still won through against Yulia Putintseva to reach Madrid semis.

That’ll sting for Putintseva, who played so well.

Suspect Rybakina might be even more dangerous having escaped from that situation.

Shocking.

Similar victories for Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner over Jan-Lenard Struff and Karen Khachanov, respectively.

Both threatened, particularly Alcaraz. Both found stunning ripostes and acceleration to come through.

Alcaraz meets Rublev. Sinner the winner of Ruud/FAA.

We like a draw.

We LOVE a draw hosted by Catherine Whitaker!

NEW POD!

Resurgent Rafa, meandering Madrid, and Sabalenka vs. Collins!

Listen - podfollow.com/the-tennis-pod…

He’s a country mile from the form that won him 14 Roland Garros titles, but the determination, perseverance and champion’s spirit are the same as they ever were.

Rafael Nadal is into the last 16 in Madrid.

Robin Montgomery’s got game.

The Danielle Collins winning streak is up to 15 matches.

One of the best players in the world currently, and arguably the best ‘watch’.

We return tomorrow to talk about this brilliant sport.

Love this.

Alize Cornet will be ‘a drama queen for the people’ one last time at Roland Garros this year, and then call it a career.

Rafael Nadal ain’t done yet.
