Serena Williams had not won a tournament all year, until now, and after lifting the trophy in Rome for a fourth time, Martina Navratilova told The Tennis Podcast that she is still very much the favourite for the French Open title.
The great Navratilova also thinks Novak Djokovic is still the one to beat on the men's side, even though Andy Murray's straight sets win over the Serb in the Rome final will have given hope to the rest.
Presenters Catherine Whitaker and David Law convened to discuss the week that was in Rome, the emergence of Madison Keys, and to debate who Murray's next coach will be.
It got a bit heated when the subject of Ivan Lendl came up.
