    The red dirt is calling! In this episode of Cross Court Conversations, Juan and Jason dive headfirst into the clay court swing, previewing the three major stops on the road to Roland Garros: Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome. From dark horses to title favorites, we break down who could thrive (and who might slide) on the surface that separates the grinders from the greats. And in true Cross Court style, we step off-court for a bit with a non-tennis segment that takes us back in time—if we had a time machine, which three sports bets would we place with full confidence? And which one of the fellas winds up with more money? Tune in for predictions, hot takes, and plenty of clay-court chatter. Let the slide into the French Open begin!
