Roland Garros 2026 is officially in the books — and it delivered one of the most dramatic fortnights in recent memory. Faizan sits down with legendary tennis journalist Steve Flink to break down EVERYTHING: Alexander Zverev's emotional Grand Slam breakthrough, Jannik Sinner's almost unexplainable collapse against Francisco Cerundolo, Novak Djokovic's stylish exit to João Fonseca, and Mirra Andreeva becoming the tournament's youngest champion in years.
We also dig into Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Świątek's rough fortnights, what's next for Coco Gauff, and why the next generation (Fonseca, Mensik, Fils) might finally be ready to take over. Plus: an early look ahead to Wimbledon.
