Who knew that the simple act of Naomi Osaka refusing to speak at press conferences during the French Open would set off such a firestorm? We are joined this week by the incredible Caitlin Thompson (@caitlin_thomps) of Racquet Magazine to digest a truly memorable week.

Oh and the French Open started! We cover our winners and surprises along with trying to figure out quite why a statue of Rafael Nadal has been built while he is still very much alive.
