Couldn’t make the trek to clay-court mecca this year? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Take a tour around the Roland Garros grounds without ever leaving your computer monitor with the Media Mash.

Kikimania has hit Paris. Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic takes down Alison Riske and will next face Andrea Petkovic for a shot to week the second week. Oh, yeah, and the crowd goes bonkers!



The magical, mystical, and soon to be MYTHICAL Gael Monfils leaps like a maniac during his straight-sets victory over Jan-Lennard Struff. He’ll face Fabio Fognini next in a popcorn rematch of their epic 2009 Roland Garros crazython.

Might as well have another look at that dive, right?



I don’t think Rog will be trading in his classic RF hats any time soon, but hey, it’s a funny tweet!

Sveta may not be the consensus favorite at this year’s Roland Garros, but the Rocking Russian is still alive in the draw, and she is most certainly the consensus bad ass.



Okay, Jelena, we know you’re a complex human, but can you tell us your life story in six seconds or less??? Go.



Grand Slams are so full of stories within the story. Fernando Versdasco’s five-set 4-6 6-7(6) 7-5 6-4 6-3 comeback against Pablo Cuevas puts the Spaniard in some pretty elite company.

Verdasco becomes just the 6th man in Open Era to come back from two sets down at all 4 slams (Federer, Becker, Krickstein, Noah, Nalbandian)

A vintage look at the Andy Murray trophy pose as the great Scot takes down Marinko Matosevic in straight sets. Murray will face Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany in round three.



Jack Sock has really embraced the clay in his last two appearances at Roland Garros. Last year he took out Guillermo Garcia Lopez and this year he’s into the third round. He’s only 21. Look out for him…

Wow, @JackSock was impressive 2day. The ball just explodes off his racket,He can do some special things in this sport pic.twitter.com/SYuWXdBzgw

Sure, yeah, not only does Fernando Verdasco own the career Grand Slam of five-set comebacks, he also has an eight-pack that will make you guilty every time you go into your frig for that pint of Chubby Hubby.



A behind-the-scenes moment with the king of clay as he prepares to make his way on to Chatrier... gives you goosebumps, doesn't it?
