Madrid - Sabalenka, Ruud seal titles, but what do they mean for Paris?

Madrid - Sabalenka, Ruud seal titles, but what do they mean for Paris?

Catherine, David and Matt hopped on YouTube mere moments after the Madrid men's final had finished to talk about the concluding days of the 2025 Madrid Open and What It All Means.

Part one - ATP Results. We hail Casper Ruud after his thrilling victory over Jack Draper in the final, debate whether he’s In The Mix for Roland Garros, and throw some cold water on the Draper Grand Slam hype, despite his incredible form and improvements.

Part two - WTA Results (from 37m50s). Is Aryna Sabalenka the favourite for Roland Garros after her victory in Madrid? The answer to that probably depends on Iga Swiatek. We discuss her shockingly one-sided defeat to Coco Gauff in the semi-finals and how we read this concerning trend.

Part three (from 60m). Naomi Osaka wins a WTA 125 title on clay and we look ahead to the return of Jannik Sinner in Rome.
