French Open Day 11 - Sabalenka self-destructs in the wind

Catherine, David and Matt react to another seismic upset at Roland Garros as Aryna Sabalenka lost 12 of the last 13 games in her quarter-final against Diana Shnaider.

Part one - Our reaction to a shocking Sabalenka loss in the wind. How did she lose 10 games in a row from 6-3 5-3? How come she didn’t learn from last year’s final against Gauff? And can we now say she’s under performing at the majors? We also chat about how Maja Chwalinska’s life-changing run continued with her victory against Anna Kalinskaya.

Part two (38:41) - We discuss Flavio Cobolli’s comeback against Felix Auger-Aliassime, the way he’s seizing his opportunity at this tournament, and the sad scenes as Matteo Berrettini was forced to retire against Matteo Arnaldi.

Part three - Women’s semi-finals preview (1:05:29).
