• French Open, quarter-finals: Djokovic ends Zverev's dream, Boisson's miracle goes on

  Down to one court, and the singles at Roland Garros becomes a rarefied atmosphere, to say the least. Just ask Mirra Andreeva, who melted under the pressure of playing a home favourite in Lois Boisson. Same could be said of Alexander Zverev, beaten by Novak Djokovic, while Alexander Bublik or Tommy Paul were never expected to stop Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz's inexorable march to the final. All that and more with James Gray and George Bellshaw This episode is brought to you by Tide.
