Thoughts and Prayers: Roland Garros Preview

Not more than four short months ago, we were reveling in Rafa and Ash’s Australian Open glory. Now that we’ve been abandoned by Ash, and Rafa’s foot has set alarm bells ringing, we enter the year’s second Slam with that familiar feeling of dread. Iga has taken the baton from Ash and sped through the Spring season; who can catch her? On the men’s side, things are a bit more focused…on one very concentrated half of the draw. Join us for our 2022 Roland Garros preview where we parse through the draws, give updates on the latest Wimbledon mess, and finish with the glowing debut of Drag Race All-Stars 7!   3:20 Women’s draw: name one player who can beat Iga (well, the few who might be able to are in her section LOL) 14:25 Women’s bottom half: Is Ons the favorite to reach the final? 20:10 Babs is back but the fourth quarter is the land of opportunity 26:50 Men’s draw, first quarter: I would like a recount 41:45 Men’s bottom half: Stefanos, it’s yours, take it 48:50 Et ceteras: RG makes changes to post-match media process, GEMS Baby is dropping in October, Naomi Osaka forms her own agency 55:00 ATP, WTA, ITF will not award ranking points at Wimbledon due to the Russian/Belarusian ban  68:10 Appreciating the Drag Race All Stars All Winners season
