French Open Finals - Alcaraz one step from career slam at 21, Swiatek sweeps 4th crown
Manage episode 422737922 series 2536097
Finals weekend in Paris... you know what that means! It's time for Joel, Kim and Chris to reunite for their final catchup from Roland Garros 2024, the tournament which saw Iga Swiatek win her third Roland Garros title on the trot with a storming victory over Jasmine Paolini, and Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev in five sets to become the youngest ever male player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam on 3 different surfaces.
The trio discuss whether beating Iga Swiatek on this court and surface is the toughest ask in women’s tennis, assess Jasmine Paolini’s two runner up titles this past fortnight and what Alexander Zverev still needs to do to win his first Grand Slam title.
With Coco Gauff claiming her first Slam doubles title (to complete a singles and doubles slam set aged 20) and Mate Pavic completing the career Golden doubles slam, this tournament has certainly been one for the stat lovers.
The trio also reveal the winner of Collect A Set which once again went down to a tiebreaker and there is some very special Wimbledon related news announced from Tennis Weekly HQ...
