French Open Day 3 - Is the sun Sinner’s most dangerous opponent?

It was a bit of a weird day at Roland Garros, bookended by a couple of big upsets, with Daniil Medvedev and Jessica Pegula both losing. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all as we finally completed round one.

Part one - Men’s results. We cover Medvedev’s loss to Adam Walton and his poor record generally at the French Open. Felix Auger-Aliassime survived in a fifth set tiebreak, but with that part of the draw looking pretty light, can he keep it going and reach his semi-final seeding? Elsewhere, Jannik Sinner eased through, but will he keep getting the night session slot?

Part two - Women’s results (34:06). We react to Pegula’s shock defeat to Kim Birrell, Naomi Osaka’s sparkly outfit reveal, and good starts for Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka.

Part three - Sensation/mousquetaire of the day and a cracking Day 4 Order of Play (53:43).
