Roland Garros Day 5 - Ostapenko reborn; Shapovalov combusts; Pas de bulle à Paris

It took until Day 5, but David has finally got a prediction correct! We rejoice about that, discuss a day which didn't exactly catch fire in terms of epic matches but did deliver numerous talking points, and hear from an angry Denis Shapovalov about the non-existent Roland Garros 'bubble'.

• Return of Ostapenko, fall of Pliskova (0.00)
• Fiona Ferro - David’s new fave (11.00)
• Sofia Kenin - an anxious watch, but still going (17.00)
• Garbine Muguruza looking solid (22.30)
• Denis Shapovalov - angry and out after 5 hours vs. Roberto Carballes Baena, and 5 minutes vs. Matt Roberts (25.30)
• Does Shapovalov have a point about the French Open's covid measures? (33.00)
• Novak Djokovic - still serene. Who can hurt him before the final? (43.00) 
• Tsitsipas chat - (48.00)
• Day 6 schedule looks flames (53.00)

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.
