French Open QFs - Sinner new No.1, Djokovic out injured, Andreeva ousts Sabalenka

Kim and Chris catch up on the Quarter Final action from Roland Garros, which saw top seeds Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka ousted by lower ranked opposition, Jannik Sinner become the new World Number 1, and Novak Djokovic withdraw from the tournament with a knee injury.

Iga Swiatek cruised through against Wimbledon Champion Marketa Vondrousova whilst Coco Gauff made her third straight slam semi with a comeback win over Ons Jabeur. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner continue their fine form to set up a showstopper clash on Friday with comfortable wins over Tsitsipas and Dimitrov respectively, whilst Casper Ruud awaits the winner of Sacha Zverev and Alex de Minaur.

Chris and Kim also consider Ons Jabeur’s critique of the French Open scheduling, how much of a factor illness played a part in the Sabalenka and Rybakina defeats, and whether Novak Djokovic is likely to miss the Wimbledon Championships in light of his recent injury.
