Catherine, David and Matt wrap up another eventful day, headlined at Roland Garros by Aryna Sabalenka vs Naomi Osaka in the night session, and elsewhere in the tennis world by the news that Serena Williams is making a comeback. Part one - We discuss Sabalenka’s statement win, how the match-up against Osaka reveals just how much she’s improved as a player over the years, and the use of Sabalenka’s drop shot. Elsewhere, victories for Diana Shnaider, Maja Chwalinska and Anna Kalinskaya are covered. Part two (22:32) - On an extraordinary day for Italy, we react to Matteo Arnaldi’s crazy late night win over a devastated Frances Tiafoe, Flavio Cobolli s*** on his pants but still winning, and Matteo Berrettini making it back to a Grand Slam quarter-final. Plus, Felix Auger-Aliassime is quietly through to the last eight. Should he be the favourite to make the final?
