    Roland Garros will have a NEW Champion ๐Ÿ†

    NO ALCARAZ, SINNER OR DJOKOVIC!!! The French Open will have a brand new Grand Slam champion on the men's side and all eyes are on Zverev. Fonseca, Jodar and Menลกรญk are proving that they are the real deal and have made their way into their first GS Quarterfinals. On the other side of the draw Berrettini and Auger-aliassime could be making their first final. Sabalenka as world number 1 is the favourite to win Roland Garros since defending champion Coco Gauff and four time champion Iga ลšwiฤ…tek were eliminated. Aryna Sabalenka may have a point to prove after her final loss in 2025. Her biggest challengers could be the Ukranian women Svitolina and Kostyuk who are due to meet in the Quarterfinals. Sorana Cรฎrstea is in the form of her life since announcing her retirement, and may have a Grand Slam win in her before her career ends. Munee, Rob and Laurent go through all the action underway at Roland Garros 2026 and share their predictions on who will win the tournment. They also declare that they DO NOT want a break from five set matches for men's Grand Slam tournaments as the shock defeats of Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic would have been reversed in a best of three world.โฐ* *TIMESTAMPS:* *00:00 Roland Garros 2026 Highlights06:54 Sinner Djokovic Upset08:35 Moรฏse Kouamรฉ French Open Debut10:29 Sinner vs Cerundolo12:08 Djokovic vs Fonseca13:27 The Rise of Fonseca16:06 Casper Ruud vs Fonseca17:08 New Big Three17:35 Jakub Menลกรญk18:48 Rafa Jodar20:00 NEW RG Champion Incoming...21:06 Sabalenka21:43 Osaka's Outfits25:54 Predictions - Women's29:51 Predictions - Men's32:22 Alexander Zverev36:19 Thoughts on Roland Garros at Midway Point#tennis #tennispodcast
