We traveled across the world and spent a ton of money to come to Roland Garros. And what's the first thing we want to podcast about? A match between Sara Errani and Anna-Lena Friedsam in the second round of qualifying. We don't get it either - but here we are. Listen to hear why this match changed Tony's life, and more importantly, how it made him a Sara Errani stan.

We break down:

• Tony's history with Errani
• How she won him over
• The match that will go down as the best match at RG 2025 (no matter what happens from here)
