What's in the Trophy?

About this episode

The episode discusses Coco Gauff's victory at the French Open and various aspects of the tournament, including player performances and organizational challenges.

The Tennis Tragic #063 / What's in the Trophy? / Coco Gauff triumphs in Paris and discovers that the Coupes des Mousquetaires has a lid. David and Matte battle difficult conditions - the same as every other podcaster - to cover the outstanding women's final, Lois Boisson's delightful run, Amelie Mauresmo and Gilles Moretton's handling of the schedule, and the looming threat of a Carlos/Jannik duopoly on the men's side. We also find time to touch on podium architecture, courtside paintings, and commisioning Christopher Clarey to pen the biography of Upset Game World Number 1 and French Open Champion, Ian Macnider. Might as well get started now!
