Description

Bring on Paris! The French Open has begun with Joel and Kim catching up on the first round of action from Roland Garros, whilst Chris makes the trip to Paris to soak up the sights of Round 2.Joel and Kim discuss Daniil Medvedev falling in a shock defeat to Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild, Novak Djokovic courting controversy with political writings on the camera, and a barrage of women’s seeds falling early with former Champion Barbora Krejcikova, Petra Kvitova, Belinda Bencic, Maria Sakkari and Veronika Kudermetova all bowing out early.Round one also saw easy enough wins for top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, some unsavoury booing from the crowd over a refused handshake and only one British player fighting their way through to the next stage of the draw.__________________THE BOODLES COMPETITIONTennis Weekly's French Open Week One coverage is sponsored by The Boodles - the ultimate pre-Wimbledon tennis event at Stoke Park Country House from 27th June to the 1st of July with this year's entry list including Stefanos Tsitispas, Andrey Rublev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Seb Korda, Lorenzo Musetti, Hubert Hurkacz and more to be announced.Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity and book tickets for The Boodles here.And for your chance to WIN a pair of stadium passes, follow us on social media @tennisweeklypod, like our competition post and tag a friend that you would like to come with you.__________________Tweet us @TennisWeeklyPod or email the show here: tennisweeklypod@gmail.comFollow us on TikTok and Instagram and make sure to check out our website as well to get your full Tennis Weekly fix.**Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
