Roland Garros Day 7 - Roger Federer did what?!

There aren’t many new experiences for Roger Federer in tennis these days, but playing and winning in an empty stadium at past midnight is certainly one of them.

We discuss how on earth he managed to beat Dominik Koepfer, what the result said about his character, and how we ended up with this absurd night session scheduling.

Elsewhere, there’s a look at Sloane Stephens' silky tennis, Coco Gauff’s professional progression, straightforward days for Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and the sensational shotmaking of Lorenzo Musetti.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.
