Walkovers & Waiting: Inside the French Open Doubles chaos

New opponents, a new apartment, and four days late. Welcome to the REAL world of Grand Slam tennis. Marcus Willis (ATP 74) is about to make his French Open debut at the age of 35, but the road to Roland Garros has been anything but smooth. Originally preparing for Etcheverry and Ugo Carabelli, the draw has thrown complete chaos his way. With singles players pulling out of the doubles draw at an unprecedented rate, Marcus pulls back the curtain on a side of professional tennis fans rarely see. From constantly refreshing the French Open app just to find out when he plays, to the massive identity crisis currently facing Grand Slam doubles tennis, Marcus speaks candidly about the lack of communication, the graft, and the resilience required to survive outside of the sport's "top table."
