With George Bellshaw gallivanting in Mexico, Myles David of Tuned into Tennis steps in to the breach, joining Calvin Betton (WORLD NO 1 COACH) and James Gray (WORLD NO 1... er, of being himself) to review Roland Garros 2026.

They discussed:

- Mirra Andreeva is a grand slam champion, overcoming an awkward clash with qualifier Maja Chwalinska in Saturday's final

- Is this the beginning of a significant run at the top of the game for the Russian?

- Will Maja Chwalinska get a wildcard?

- Are the big hitters going to bounce back from big upsets?

- Alexander Zverev has finally ended his quest for a grand slam title, winning his maiden major at the fourth time of asking, but will it change anything for the German going forward?

- Can anyone expect to challenge Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon? And does the Italian have something to prove after his heat-related exit from Roland Garros?

- What does it take to become world No 1? Just ask Calvin Betton!
