Soccer star Paulo Dybala gives his Roland Garros takes

Published Oct 08, 2020

Paulo Dybala is adding his hot takes to the 2020 Roland Garros mix. The 26-year-old soccer player joins Tennis Channel's team of Athlete Analysts to cover the action in Paris.

He plays forward for the Italian club Juventus as well as for the Argentina national team. Dybala's tennis connection is strong as he is dating Oriana Sabatini, the niece of Gabriela Sabatini, and can even play a little himself.

The talented forward is friends with former world No. 10 Juan Monaco and Roland Garros semifinalist Diego Schwartzman.

In his first segment as an Athlete Analyst, he was asked if Rafael Nadal is the favorite to win it all.

"There are many tough rivals in this tournament," he said. "Novak Djokovic is playing at an incredible level. He is playing outstanding tennis, and we all know his abilities. We also have 'El Peque' Diego Schwartzman, who is not only a great player but a great friend of mine."

Dybala gave his other compatriot Nadia Podoroska a shoutout, too. He'll be joined in coverage all week by fellow Tennis Channel Athlete Analysts Ana Ivanovic, Jewell Lloyd and Jon Dorenbos.
