Roland Garros Day 1 - Rafael Nadal and the final farewell

Part one - Our reaction to the ceremony honouring Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, which saw Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray come onto court to celebrate his career.

Part two - Women’s results and headlines (28m00s). Dominant starts for Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen, we learn more about Victoria Mboko and Eva Lys as they set up a second round clash, and Jasmine Paolini survives a scare.

Part three - Men’s results and a look ahead to Day 2 (50m35s). There weren’t too many great matches on the men’s side, but Lorenzo Musetti impressed, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard brought the vibes on Lenglen, and Tommy Paul beat Elmer Moller and then revealed more about his truck being repossessed.
