Description
Now you can find our podcast on the TNNS app, our favourite tennis scores app to follow all tours, including Challengers and ITF Futures!Download it here: https://www.downloadtennis.com/Andre, Vansh, and Owen break down a wonderful tournament in Rome this week on Tennis and Bagels! We begin with a recap of the 57th edition of the best rivalry ever on the men's side: Djokovic-Nadal in the final. What made this match closer than the pair's recent clashes on clay, and what are the takeaways? How should Djokovic feel about coming up just short despite a huge physical effort at the end of the tournament? And what is the verdict on Nadal's lead-up to his beloved Roland-Garros? We also discuss Thiem, Sonego, and Tsitsipas and their achievements in Rome and prospects going forward. Also, is there a method to Medvedev's madness on clay, or is he just at a loss for ideas and looking for plants to mess with?Next is the WTA side -- Świątek reached a scary level of dominance against Plíšková in the final, bagging a big title and saving a pair of match points in the third round -- one with a winner. Should we re-evaluate Barty's status as Roland-Garros favorite based on this result? Gauff had a great week in Rome, toppling another top player and good prediction to win Roland-Garros -- Sabalenka -- on the way to the semifinals. Osaka's struggles on clay have continued this season; how do we feel about her chances to master the surface? All this and more on this episode!Follow TNNS and communicate any bugs and fixes, or just give them a shout out: @downloadtennisFollow Tennis and Bagels: Twitter @TennisAndBagels Andre Rolemberg @RolembergAndre Vansh Vermani @vanshv2k Owen Lewis @tennisnation (also http://racketblog.com/ ) Instagram @tennisandbagels Facebook/tennisandbagelsFollow TNNS and communicate any bugs and fixes, or just give them a shout out: @downloadtennis--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tennis-and-bagels/messageSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.
