PODCAST - 2022 Roland Garros Preview

Broadcaster Chris Bowers is joined by WTA player Tamira Paszek to preview the men’s draw at Roland Garros and discuss some of the talking points arising from interviews and features with the following...NADAL ON ALCARAZ - ‘He’s young and when you are young and very good, the process is faster then the normal people, so he is not a normal guy, like Novak was not a normal guy, like Roger was not a normal guy, like probably me was not a normal guy. He’s already there and one of the big favourites to achieve in every tournament he’s playing’.THIEM ON HIS COMEBACK FROM WRIST INJURY - ‘I was not confident with my wrist and maybe slightly changed my technique and that’s why the hand started to hurt. Working so that I’m not scared anymore at my forehand was very tough. For the first time I felt scared to hit the shot, I felt scared about my wrist and this feeling took a long time to go away’.ZVEREV ON EMPLOYING THE SERVICES OF SERGI BRUGUERA - ‘I’m somebody who wants to come onto the court and I don’t want to be thinking of what to do, what to practice, I just want to be told and I think he’s the perfect guy for that’.LORENZO MUSETTI ON PLAYING DJOKOVIC AT LAST YEAR’S ROLAND GARROS - ‘I was two sets to love with Djokovic on the centre court of the French Open at 19 years old and it was the best two sets of the year. After that it was not easy for me, I felt the pressure, I felt everything. Even my physical part was really tough, I was really tired and cramping. I don't know if that was from the tension, from the pressure or from the physical matches I played’.HEAD-TO-HEAD QUIZ: CABAL & FARAH TEST THEIR CLAY-COURT KNOWLEDGE
