The bonkers 2026 French Open has concluded with the most disappointing Men's Final since the 2019 US Open (if you know, you know). The "deeply polarizing" winner (as the NY Times put it) has become a symbol of society's inability to properly address domestic violence allegations, leading to the emergence of the #anyonebutzverev hashtag when he became the favorite to win the tournament.


Michele refuses to speak his name in this episode, and Bryan chooses to only use commentator mispronunciations (McEnroe's "Zah-VER-ev" and Agassi's "Zah-REV"). Dark times.


Also:


  • Maja Chwalinska's fairy-tale run
  • Townsend/Siniakova win the women's doubles (setting up Taylor Townsend for the Career Slam at the US Open)
  • Rafa praises David Ellison (but we forgive him)
  • Trump ruins another sporting event, but Go Knicks!
