Emergency pod - Alcaraz out of Roland Garros

About this episode

The hosts react to Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal from Roland Garros due to injury and discuss its implications for the tournament.

Catherine, David and Matt convened for an emergency live show to react to the sad news that defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from next month's Roland Garros due to a wrist injury. We discussed what this means for Alcaraz, how it might affect Jannik Sinner going for the Career Slam, and the different feel the tournament will have without Alcaraz. Who can step up in his absence?
