Brett and Jimmy check in from vacation to give their opinions on all the craziness going on in Paris at Roland Garros. If Sascha Zverev can't win his first major now then it might never happen. He is the dominant favorite to come out with the trophy but will old demons creep in at the worst time? Aryna Sabalenka once again failed to finish in a grand slam match where she was in total control. This has become a unfortunate trend for the world #1 the past two years. It's a crazy dichotomy where on one hand she is by far the most dominant player on the WTA tour, but also has a hard time taking advantage of her chances to add to her grand slam total. Flavio Cobolli faces off against fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi in the top half semi making for a great opportunity for both players to make it further that they have ever been before. Can Mirra Andreeva conquer her Roland Garros demons from last year by coming out on top of the women's side?

Jimmy drove down to have dinner at Nan Ban Kan, and record a fresh episode of the podcast. Jannik Sinner wins his first Indian Wells crown, which was the only Masters 1000 hard court title missing from his resume. Having only played 2 tournaments so far this year it was nice to see the young Italian play some of the best tennis of the year. Aryna Sabalenka also broke through to win her first IW title after being runner up in 2025 to Andreeva. She played an instant classic vs AO champ Elena Rybakina in the final winning 7-6 in the third. Daniil Medvedev is back playing some of the best tennis of his career and is back in the top ten of the ATP tour. Med played a great match beating Carlos Alcaraz in the SF and almost pushing Sinner to 3 in the final. With 2 titles on the year already it seems like there is more positive things ahead for the Russian. Elena Rybakina has been one of the best players in the world the past 9 months. The AO champ played some amazing tennis to get to the final and was up a set and a break on Sabby before things turned around. In what has to be one of the best matches of the year the two biggest hitters on tour blasted away for 3 high powered sets. Sadly someone had to lose, but something tells us these two will play more important matches down the road. All that plus more on a new episode of the Advantage Connors podcast.
