There was a ‘morning after the night before’ feeling to Wednesday at Roland Garros, with the reverberations from Gael Monfils’ epic late night win still being felt around the grounds. But such is the pace of these Grand Slam tournaments, new stories quickly formed on Day 4.
Catherine, David and Matt discuss Novak Djokovic's victory over Marton Fucsovics which included an epic first set, defeat for Caroline Garcia as she got tight against Anna Blinkova, a five set victory for Thanasi Kokkinakis against Stan Wawrinka, a delightful match between Daria Kasatkina and Marketa Vondrousova, more tension in an Aryna Sabalenka press conference, a mid-match lapse from Carlos Alcaraz, Gael Monfils' withdrawal, and a big upset in the women's doubles as Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova lost their first match at a slam since 2021.
