Catherine, David and Matt look back on a day which saw Mirra Andreeva, Marta Kostyuk, Alexander Zverev and Jakub Mensik reach the semi-finals at Roland Garros.
Part one - We discuss Kostyuk’s remarkable surge to defeat Svitolina, her moving words about the the significance of an all-Ukrainian match on a day when Kyiv was hit by bombing, and her chances of going on to win the title. Plus, analysis of Andreeva’s incredibly impressive performance to thrash Sorana Cirstea.
Part two (26:13) - We react to Mensik’s straight-sets win over Joao Fonseca, including how the indoor conditions affected things, Mensik’s business-like approach in the first two sets, and the electrifying finish as Fonseca saved six match points before Mensik eventually closed it out. How much concern is there about Mensik’s levels of endurance ahead of his semi-final against Zverev?
Part three (49:01) - A preview of tomorrow’s quarter-finals. Can Maja Chwalinska upset Anna Kalinskaya? Who’s the favourite between Flavio Cobolli and Felix Auger-Aliassime?
