Roland Garros review and custard with smoked salmon

ATP 67 Marcus Willis and his mate Dave delve into Roland Garros, Serena William, pressure on Zverev and stress test Custard. Yep!  This podcast looks back at Marcus 3rd round exit in his maiden French Open and the boys talk about the experience as well as the learnings. Can you believe that 5 years ago Marcus could've ended up in a boring office job rather than playing Grandslams?  The lads also look at what Serena Williams is doing coming back to the court aged 44. Marcus looks at his own retirement and answers the question of whether he'll still be doing it in his mid 40's. Plus with Sinner out of Roland Garros is there MORE pressure on Zverev than ever before? In the final part of the pod, Willis and Dave stress test custard by choosing different foods to dip into the worlds finest liquid.

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." Here’s a peak behind the curtain of professional tennis life.
