Madrid - What do Sinner/Kostyuk titles mean for The Mix?
5/3/20261 hr 22 min
Catherine, David and Matt are joined by The Athletic’s Matt Futterman to discuss finals weekend in Madrid and what it might all mean for Roland Garros.
Part one - ATP (00:00 - 38:00). We start with Jannik Sinner’s demolition of Alexander Zverev and what it told us about their match up and the gap between Sinner and everyone else in the field in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz. Why was Zverev so poor in the final? Is Sinner in a mix of one at Roland Garros? And who or what might be his biggest obstacles?
Part two - WTA (38:01 - 1:05:01). We discuss Marta Kostyuk winning the biggest title of her career over Mirra Andreeva, the keys to that victory, and whether this puts her in contention to win in Paris. Plus, can Andreeva learn to do that really hard thing of separating self-worth from results, and why does The Mix feel bigger on the women’s side?
Part three - Rome preview (1:05:02 - 1:22:11)
