## Resource

This crazy French Open took yet another twist on Sunday as Iga Swiatek was beaten by Marta Kostyuk before a thrilling Joao Fonseca performance in the night session. Catherine, David and Matt recorded on Court Philippe-Chatrier at the end of it all. Part one - We unpack Swiatek’s loss. Where did it go wrong for her? Will she ever rediscover her best form? How did the combination of Kostyuk's game and match nerves unsettle her? And what can Kostyuk go on to achieve at this tournament? We look ahead to her quarter-final showdown with fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. On the men’s side, there’s chat about Rafael Jodar surviving another five setter to set up a meeting with Alexander Zverev. Part two (39:28) - Reaction to an electric night session win for Joao Fonseca over Casper Ruud. Part three (59:38) - We cover the surprising news that Naomi Osaka vs Aryna Sabalenka will be in the night decision and discuss what that decision says about the French Tennis Federation.
