About this episode

The episode reviews the dramatic events of Roland Garros 2026, highlighting key performances and future implications in tennis.

Roland Garros 2026 is officially in the books — and it delivered one of the most dramatic fortnights in recent memory. Faizan sits down with legendary tennis journalist Steve Flink to break down EVERYTHING: Alexander Zverev's emotional Grand Slam breakthrough, Jannik Sinner's almost unexplainable collapse against Francisco Cerundolo, Novak Djokovic's stylish exit to João Fonseca, and Mirra Andreeva becoming the tournament's youngest champion in years. We also dig into Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Świątek's rough fortnights, what's next for Coco Gauff, and why the next generation (Fonseca, Mensik, Fils) might finally be ready to take over. Plus: an early look ahead to Wimbledon. 🎾 TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS 0:00 – Intro: Two new Grand Slam champions 1:58 – Zverev's Roland Garros title run & the mental journey 6:48 – Zverev's final breakdown 12:43 – Zverev's Hall of Fame case 15:07 – Arnaldi withdrawal controversy 16:06 – Berrettini's heartbreaking run 18:47 – Sinner's collapse vs Cerundolo — the stats that explain nothing 22:43 – Sinner collapse continued: Cerundolo's tactics 25:45 – Djokovic vs Fonseca: a "stylish" loss 26:57 – Djokovic's tournament breakdown 28:27 –…
