RG Day 10 - Injury dashes Djokovic hopes; Swiatek vs. Gauff, Alcaraz vs. Sinner are ON

It was a seismic day at Roland Garros as Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to his knee injury. Catherine, David and Matt react to the news and what it might mean for Djokovic's future. The most immediate impact is that Jannik Sinner will become the new world number one on Monday and he found out just after his quarter-final win over Grigor Dimitrov. There's chat about that, the stunning Coco Gauff vs Ons Jabeur match to start the day, another dominant display from Iga Swiatek over Marketa Vondrousova, and Carlos Alcaraz's routine win against Stefanos Tsitsipas. We also look ahead to the semi-finals and reflect on the night session scheduling which has only got worse. OUR LINKS: Join The Barge!
