French Open Media Day - A boycott of sorts, but did it work?

تفصیل

Catherine, David and Matt report from media day at Roland Garros as the top players cut short their media commitments in a protest over prize money and treatment from the Grand Slams. Part one - We discuss how today’s protest played out and whether it met our expectations. Why did it all feel a little bit flat? In what way could it have been successful? And what is next for this movement? Part two (18:42) - Away from the protest, what did the players have to say in their press conferences? We discuss Aryna Sabalenka’s positive update on her fitness, a huge shift from Emma Raducanu as she detailed working with Andrew Richardson again, how to interpret Novak Djokovic’s comments about his preparation, and Taylor Fritz’s reality check over his knee. Part three (58:41) - We react to concerning reports about Arthur Fils’ fitness and pay tribute to our colleague, Howard Fendrich of the Associated Press, who sadly passed away earlier this week.
