Tennis Weekly returns with a Roland Garros Day 1 catch-up, headlined by Novak Djokovic surviving a first-set scare before powering through in his record-breaking 82nd Grand Slam appearance. We also review a tough opening exit for Emma Raducanu, who fell to Argentina’s Solana Sierra, and ask what she needs to do between now and the beginning of her grass campaign and Wimbledon. Joel and Chris also dive into the player-led media boycott spearheaded by world number one Aryna Sabalenka, highlighting growing tensions over prize money distribution and player welfare at the Slams. There was also deja vu for Taylor Fritz who was dumped out of Round 1 again, Frenchman Arthur Gea requested a very unscheduled toilet break and we are in dismay about how we end up with Hailey Baptiste vs Barbora Krejcikova in Round 1 of a Grand Slam.
