French Open LIVE: Latest tennis scores and results today as Novak Djokovic progresses in clinical fashion

Novak Djokovic produced a ruthless performance to dispatch Roberto Carballes Baena as the French Open second round continues amid another day of rain at Roland-Garros.

The tournament will have to play catch-up after a wash out of the entire day’s schedule on the outside courts yesterday, but Djokovic entertained the crowd on a busy day for fans at Court Philippe-Chatrier. Gael Monfils carryies the hopes of the home crowd as the veteran Frenchman takes on the Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the night session, with the winner facing Djokovic in the third round. as the Serbian continues his bid to win a record 25th grand slam title at Roland Garros.

Earlier in the day, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina cruised through in straight sets as they joined fellow favourite Iga Swiatek in advancing. Swiatek saved match point on her way to defeating a resurgent Naomi Osaka in a thrilling three-set battle. Swiatek, who prevailed in almost three hours, then called out the French Open crowd for making noise during points.

Meanwhile, French Open chiefs have banned alcohol from the stands following an incident involving David Goffin, in which the Belgian player claimed he was spat at during a raucous victory over Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

Novak Djokovic breezes into third round as Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina also progress

18:52 , Mike Jones

Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic soared into the third round of the French Open on Thursday as tournament organisers stepped up their fight against unruly fans by announcing an alcohol ban in the stands while also dealing with the wet-weather backlog.

Playing under the roof on Court Philippe Chatrier even as Roland Garros officials were scratching their heads over what to do with the schedule after a fifth straight rain-hit day, second seed Sabalenka blew away qualifier Moyuka Uchijima 6-2 6-2.

“That’s the little advantage we get as top players because we play in big stadiums with the roof,” Sabalenka said, “So I knew that no matter what the weather is going to be, I’m going to play my match. That’s really helpful.”

19:51 , Mike Jones

Davidovich Fokina completes his dominance of the second set and draws level at 1-1 in the match. This one could go on for a long time yet.

It’s great viewing.

French Open LIVE

19:39 , Mike Jones

Davidovich Fokina is flying now, he leads 4-1 in the second set and has properly upset Ruud’s flow. It’s an incredible performance so far and thoroughly deserved.

French Open LIVE

19:27 , Mike Jones

Has that tie break loss put a dent in Davidovich Fokina’s momentum? Casper Ruud creates a couple of chances to break from the opening game of the second set but the Spaniard manages to save two break points.

He holds serve.

Then breaks! Where did that come from? Ruud starts his first service game with a double fault and Davidovich Fokina takes advantage.

He breaks for the first time in the match and moves 2-0 up in the second set.

French Open LIVE

19:14 , Mike Jones

Ruud takes it!

It’s a spectacular shot. At 6-5 up in the tie break he serves wide to Davidovich Fokina’s backhand. The Spaniard gets the return back into play but Ruud whips a one-handed forehand across the court with such pace at his opponent can’t get there.

He wins the tie break 7-5 and claims the opening set.

French Open LIVE

19:03 , Mike Jones

Tie break time!

Wonderful stuff from Davidovich Fokina who may fancy his chances in this tie break especially with such a strong serve backing him. Casper Ruud has been challenging his serve more but there’s little to separate the two men.

Who’ll win the first set?

French Open LIVE

18:54 , Mike Jones

Ruud moves 5-4 up in the set and could clinch it with a break here. The Norwegian has yet to earn a break point against Davidovich Fokina though and the Spaniard looks unlikely to give one up.

He breezes to a 40-0 lead with the serve and draws back level in the set when Ruud drills a cross court backhand out of play.

French Open LIVE

18:48 , Mike Jones

Ruud can’t break. To be fair, he’s not given the chance as from deuce Davidovich Fokina is pinpoint perfect with his serve and rattles off the two points needed to win.

He’s level in the set at 4-4. It’s got a tie breaker written all over it this one.

French Open LIVE

18:46 , Mike Jones

Davidovich Fokina had won 13 points out of 13 when he landed his first serve but a defensive return and drawn out rally means Rudd puts an end to that stat and draws level at 30-30 in the first set’s eighth game.

This is the one. An ace comes down next but Ruud whips a forehand down the line to force deuce. If Ruud can clinch a break here he’ll be serving to win the set.

French Open LIVE

18:35 , Mike Jones

So far, so tense in Ruud vs Davidovich Fokina. No breaks of serve and Ruud has barely made an impact when going against the serve.

After going 0-15 ahead Ruud looks to flick a forehand slice over the net but clips the tape and watches the ball bounce back onto his own side of the court.

French Open LIVE

18:26 , Mike Jones

With play on the outside courts stopped, the only live action is on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Capser Ruud is taking on Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. He leads by two games to one in the first set with no breaks of serve so far. Both men are just feeling their way into this match which could turn out to be a superb one.

French Open LIVE

18:22 , Mike Jones

Play suspended!

Just as Holger Rune edged in front in the second set having made the break the heavens have opened and the rain is coming down on Court 14.

The courts are being covered and play has been stopped. Frustrating for all involved.

French Open LIVE

18:19 , Mike Jones

The deadlock is broken! After a tricky game to hold his own serve and bring the second set back level at 3-3, Rune manages to power through Cobolli’s resistance and break.

He moves ahead and now has the advantage and momentum to move two sets in front in this second round tie.

French Open LIVE

18:04 , Mike Jones

Cobolli saves two break points in the third game of the second set with a perfectly weighted lob that does for Rune as he approaches the net.

Nothing to separate the two men in this set so far.

French Open LIVE

17:52 , Mike Jones

Rune takes the first set! After a back spinning drop shot gifts him two set points the Dane only needs one more rally to get the job done.

He peppers Cobolli’s backhand with a series of down the line forehands and the Italian breaks patience first. He switches to go across court but smokes his shot oo long and the set goes to Rune.

French Open LIVE

17:46 , Mike Jones

There’s a stubborn quality to Cobolli but he’s not quite been up to the task against Rune’s serve. The Dane is rattling through his own service games and needs just one more to clinch the opening set.

Cobolli has ramped up the speed of his own serves mind you and seems happy enough at the baseline. A service game hold brings him back to 4-5 in the first set and there’s still a chance he can recover from here.

He’ll need to win the next game though.

French Open LIVE

17:34 , Mike Jones

Cobolli holds serve and manages to get a game on the board in the opening set before Rune does the same to maintain his lead of two.

The Italian seems content behind his own serve now but he’ll need to come up with something to get that break back.

French Open LIVE

17:27 , Mike Jones

Over on Court 14, Holger Rune has made an early break against Flavio Cobolli before holding his own serve to secure it.

That’s a perfect start for the Dane who looks in good form in this tournament so far after seeing off Britain’s Dan Evans in the opening round.

French Open LIVE

17:22 , Mike Jones

There’s nothing at all to split the two women who are 6-6 in the tie break. Keys clips the tape and leaves Sherif with a set point but she can’t take it as Keys blazes a superb winner down the line.

The back-to-the-wall determinism from Sherif is to be admired though, she needs to win this to stay in the match. Keys takes the next point as Sherif sends a lob too long.

It’s the American’s first match point... she gets it! Sherif doesn’t quite get hold of a backhand and finds the net meaning Keys moves into the third round.

She wins 6-0 7-6.

French Open LIVE

17:14 , Mike Jones

2-2! A couple of fine drop shots brings Sherif back on level terms but she gives away the next point with a slight positional error.

Keys is then pushed behind the baseline and can only loop the ball back over to Sherif who tries to power her way past the American before deciding the drop shot is a better mode of attack.

3-3.

French Open LIVE

17:12 , Mike Jones

Keys is unbeaten in tie breaks this year having won all five of the ones she’s been involved in. She gets the first point on the board after Sherif, who was the aggressor in a lengthy rally, overcooks a forehand and pings the ball out of play.

A blistering drill down the line brings Keys the next point too but fails to add a third after pushing a forehand wide of the line herself.

Keys leads 2-1 with Sherif next to serve.

French Open LIVE

17:11 , Mike Jones

Post match thoughts from Novak Djokovic: “Thank you for the support. There’s so much rain this year at Roland Garros, it’s so great so many came out to support under the roof.

“It was a difficult match against Roberto. He scored a lot of very good and precise shots.

“The last game of the first set I played really well and started to play at the higher level. At the end of the match I was then playing very well. I am very happy with this performance.”

French Open LIVE

17:09 , Mike Jones

Over on Court Suzanne Lenglen, Madison Keys is locked in a rather awkward battle against Mayar Sherif. The American stormed to a 6-0 win in the first set but was forced to hold her serve to initiate a tiebreak decider in the second.

French Open LIVE

17:07 , Mike Jones

Novak Djokovic is through to the third round at Roland Garros for the 19th time in his career which is the most of any player during the Open Era.

Today’s victory was his 94th win at Roland Garros - the most he has registered at a single tournament in his career along with the Australian Open.

French Open LIVE

17:03 , Mike Jones

There are a few more intriguing matches still to come throughout the evening.

Holger Rune is about to get his second round match against Flavio Cobolli underway on Court 14 while Casper Ruud is back in action when he takes on Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina later on.

Right now though the match to follow is Canada’s Denis Shapovalov vs Frances Tiafoe. Shapovalov lead 2-1 but Tiafoe is ahead 4-3 in the fourth set.

French Open: GAME, SET AND MATCH! Novak Djokovic through to third round!

16:53 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Ruthless and relentless. Novak Djokovic marches on, beating Roberto Carballes Baena in straight sets (6-4, 6-1, 6-2).

A bright start from the Spaniard, but like so many Djokovic opponents over the years, he was worn down into submission. The top seed will face the winner of Gael Monfils and Lorenzo Musetti’s match later in the third round.

Novak Djokovic a game away

16:44 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Merciless. The light has gone from Roberto Carballes Baena’s eyes as Novak Djokovic moves to the brink of victory.

French Open: Denis Shapovalov leading on Court 11

16:40 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A right old ding-dong on Court 11 this evening, with Denis Shapovalov and Frances Tiafoe settling North American scores. Tiafoe got his nose in front in a first set tie break but Shapovalov has taken the next two to leave himself well placed to progress. It’s good to see the lively leftie back somewhere nearer to his best after that knee injury brought a premature curtailment to his 2023.

French Open: Novak Djokovic moving closer to victory

16:32 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Roberto Carballes Baena is chuntering away, a break down in the third and having to battle for just about every point. He eventually serves out a hold thanks to a rare Novak Djokovic return error, his first hold in six games. His Roland-Garros looks to be coming to an end.

French Open

16:26 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Philippe-Chatrier looks pretty full for Djokovic/Carballes Baena. We’ll see how many are in tonight to watch home hero Gael Monfils grapple with Lorenzo Musetti, with lacklustre attendances a theme of the first few days of this year’s French Open.

Swiatek vs Osaka was an instant classic - so where were all the fans?

French Open: Novak Djokovic doubles advantage

16:15 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Superb strokeplay from Roberto Carballes Baena, walloping the crispest of returns to leave Novak Djokovic rooted on the baseline and save a set point. But his joy is temporary - all a little too easy for Djokovic, who takes it 6-1.

French Open: Madison Keys up and running

16:09 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A strong start from Madison Keys, winner in Strasbourg last week, on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, breaking Egypt’s Mayar Sherif in her first service game. Sherif has been as high as 31 in the world but never gone beyond the second round at a major - she’ll have to be at her best to change that against a player in outstanding form.

French Open: Djokovic turning the screw

15:57 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Novak Djokovic must be so demoralising to play against. Roberto Carballes Baena did so much right in that first set, but one shaky service game at the end and suddenly the Serbian is into his stride. Carballes Baena’s shoulders seem to have dropped a little: 3-0 and counting in the second.

Good news, though, with a hubbub of activity around Court Philippe-Chatrier as the crowds break their cover. It looks like play may be imminent elsewhere.

French Open

15:49 , Harry Latham-Coyle

There’s still no play on the uncovered courts, with tomorrow’s 9.30am start time (8.30 BST) looking ever more necessary. A thoroughly miserable week for those hoping to soak up the sun clayside.

French Open: Novak Djokovic secures first set

15:41 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Classic Novak Djokovic. He has a little to-do with a fan in one of the front rows behind the umpire’s chair at the start of Roberto Carballes Baena’s service game, and emerges from the fracas firing. Expert court manipulation leave the Spaniard having to save two break points; his failure to do so means the first set belongs to Djokovic (6-4).

French Open: GAME, SET AND MATCH!

15:34 , Harry Latham-Coyle

It’s all over for David Goffin. Alexander Zverev beats he Belgian in straight sets, that first set tiebreak crucial as he found his confidence and then twin 6-2s taking him home behind a strong serving performance.

French Open: Novak Djokovic and Roberto Carballes Baena level

15:21 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A good energy to this match on Court Philippe-Chatrier so far, with Roberto Cabralles Baena very much at the party and rather enjoying his dance with Djokovic. 3-3 in the first.

Alexander Zverev is three games away from the third round. He has just broken David Goffin with a remarkable block volley that lands on the chalk after Goffin had hurled an attempted passing shot right at the big German. A raised hand of apology from Zverev, who leads 3-2 and has been impenetrable on serve so far.

French Open bans alcohol from stands after spitting incident

15:10 , Jamie Braidwood

The French Open has banned fans from drinking alcohol in the stands after Belgian player David Goffin claimed he was spat on by a spectator and complained of a “football” atmosphere on Tuesday.

Goffin accused French Open crowds of “total disrespect” during his five-set win over home favourite Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and alleged that a fan spat chewing gum at him.

Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said stadium security would be increased, while umpires have been told to be stricter when they crack down on unruly behaviour in the stands.

French Open

14:57 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Carballes Baena’s ascendancy is short-lived. Djokovic levels to love having found his touch.

Alexander Zverev, meanwhile, has surged into a two-set lead over David Goffin, securing the second set 6-2 after that hard-fought tie break nudged him in front.

Novak Djokovic broken in opening game

14:53 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Well well well. An excellent start from Roberto Carballes Baena, settling nicely into his rallying rhythm and breaking Novak Djokovic at the earliest opportunity. A sumptuous down-the-line forehand winner seals it.

French Open: Next up on Philippe-Chatrier...

14:43 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Novak Djokovic strides up the steps and out into an arena he knows so well, ready to continue his pursuit of a 25th grand slam. Roberto Carballes Baena is already limbering up on court, hoping to cause a shock in front of a bumper crowd.

French Open: GAME, SET AND MATCH!

14:25 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Elina Svitolina is through to the third round! A late rally from Diane Parry, but an untimely broken string while launching into a likely winner in the tie break rather scuppered her chances. 6-4, 7-6 (3) and onwards the 15th seed goes to a meeting with either Ana Bogdan or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina join Iga Swiatek in French Open third round

14:20 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Iga Swiatek’s main rivals for the French Open title eased into the third round a day after the Pole’s epic tussle with Naomi Osaka.

While world number one and defending champion Swiatek had to come from 5-2 down in the third set and save a match point against an inspired Osaka, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina enjoyed relatively stress-free passages.

Second seed Sabalenka, who has reached the semi-finals of her last six grand-slam events, dispatched Japanese world number 83 Moyuka Uchijima 6-2 6-2.

The Belarussian admits she does not watch much tennis herself, but like everyone else at Roland Garros she was glued to Wednesday’s dramatic showdown.

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina join Iga Swiatek in French Open third round

French Open

14:14 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Having said that, David Goffin double faults to concede the first break of the match in a subpar start to set two.

French Open: Diane Parry breaks to stay alive

14:12 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brilliant from Diane Parry! A roar from the home crowd as the Frenchwoman finds life at the last, punching back Elina Svitolina repeatedly to earn a succession of break points and taking the third of them to square the second set at five games apiece.

Across the complex, the tie break has fallen Alexander Zverev’s way. But judging by that first set, he and David Goffin might be there for a while.

French Open: Off to a tie break

13:59 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A first deuce of the match between David Goffin and Alexander Zverev is swiftly followed by the first break point, but Zverev can’t snatch it. Almost inevitably, we’re bound for a tie break.

French Open

13:46 , Harry Latham-Coyle

It continues to hoon it down in Paris, preventing play on any of the outside courts. It’s going to take a remarkable scheduling effort to get the backlog cleared over the next couple of days, particularly with more rain forecast tomorrow.

That’s of little concern to Elina Svitolina, though —the 15th seed has broken a frustrated Diane Parry in the second set and looks to be accelerating towards the third round.

French Open: More crowd bother

13:39 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A brief pause as David Goffin waits to serve in the eighth game on Suzanne-Lenglen as a couple of fans clamber about all over the place for...some reason. Boos and whistles from the rest of a relatively abundant spectatorship eventually get them to re-take their seats.

Neither player has yet had the faintest whiff of a break.

French Open: Elina Svitolina wins first set

13:26 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A real battling performance from Elina Svitolina over on Philippe-Chatrier so far, with Diane Parry giving her plenty to think about with her attacking array. A 6-4 first set is sealed with an ace, though, by the Ukrainian, four times a quarter-finalist here.

French Open: Can David Goffin test Alexander Zverev?

13:23 , Harry Latham-Coyle

David Goffin showed all of his veteran nous in downing the fast-rising Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in his round one match earlier in the week, the Belgian surviving the big hitter and a hostile Roland Garros crowd to set up this encounter.

It’s all on serve at 2-2 so far.

French Open: The rain is back

13:10 , Jamie Braidwood

The covers are back on the outside courts as Zverev and Goffin warm-up under the Suzanne-Lenglen roof. The Belgian is a former quarter-finalist at the French Open but lost to Dominic Thiem in 2016, while Zverev has reached the semis in each of the last three years.

He suffered a horrific ankle injury in his 2022 semi-final defeat to Rafael Nadal but defeated the 14-time champion in his opening round on Monday. He is one of the favourites for the title after winning in Rome, and his performance against Nadal showed why.

French Open: Game, set and match!

12:57 , Jamie Braidwood

Elena Rybakina joins Aryna Sabalenka in the third ruond, with only 67 minutes required to defeat Arantxa Rus on Suzanne-Lenglen. A 6-3 6-4 win for the fourth seed, who is in the same half of the draw as defending champion Iga Swiatek.

Dimitrov, meanwhile, beats the rain as he wraps up a very impressive win over Marozsan 6-0 6-3 6-4. He could play the entertaining Zizou Bergs next, with the Belgian two sets up against German Maximilian Marterer.

In another Germany vs Belgium battle, Alexander Zverev will now face David Goffin on Suzanne-Lenglen.

French Open: First set for Elena Rybakina

12:25 , Jamie Braidwood

Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina takes the opening set 6-3 against the Dutch player Arantxa Rus, while Elina Svitolina prepares to take to Court Philippe-Chatrier against French opponent Diane Parry.

Svitolina defeated Karolina Pliskova, the former World No 1, in the opening round and the Ukrainian was supported as a home player in last year’s French Open. Svitolina’s husband Gael Monfils is also in action on Philippe-Chatrier today.

French Open: GAME, SET AND MATCH!

12:12 , Jamie Braidwood

A 6-2 6-2 cruise for Aryna Sabalenka, who advances to the third round in just 62 minutes. Uchijima had won 19 matches in a row across the challenger circuit and qualifying, but Sabalenka is just levels above most of the game when she plays like she did today. It was too good from the two-time Australian Open champion.

“Super happy with the performance today,” Sabalenka says, before praising the atmosphere on Philippe-Chatrier, which is strange because there is barely anyone there. Quite the opposite to Iga Swiatek’s honesty on court yesterday.

“I have so much more belief in my myself, more than I did last year in the grand slams.”

Sabalenka goes off for “steak and Netflix”.

French Open: Sabalenka on the brink

12:05 , Jamie Braidwood

Sabalenka saves four break points and hauls herself back from 0-40 down to move a game away from the third round. The World No 2 now leads 6-1 5-2, and that was a clear demonstration of the improvements she has made to the mental side of her game since winning her first grand slam title in January 2023.

Grigor Dimitrov continues to cruise and now leads Fabian Marozsan 6-0 6-3 on Court 14.

French Open: The covers are off

11:40 , Jamie Braidwood

There are brighter skies overhead as some of the covers come off the outside courts - we could have play resuming very shortly.

Sabalenka, menawhile, takes the second break to win the opening set 6-2 on Philippe-Chatrier. That’s a 29-minute set for the World No 2 and this match could be wrapped up pretty quickly from here.

French Open: Aryna Sabalenka gets opening break

11:35 , Jamie Braidwood

Uchijima is offering a very different game to Sabalenka as she looks to over angles and variety, but the World No 2 gets the opening break to lead 5-2 in the first set.

Sabalenka has not won a title since lifting her second grand slam at the Australian Open, but has been beaten twice in finals by World No 1 Iga Swiatek - in Madrid and Rome.

That puts her as the second favourite in Paris.

French Open: Where are all the fans?

11:25 , Jamie Braidwood

Once again there are so many empty seats for the start of the day’s play on Philippe-Chatrier, where Aryna Sabalenka and Moyuka Uchijima are on serve through the first four games. There’s no play going on outside but Philippe-Chatrier is only a third full, at most.

Swiatek vs Osaka was an instant classic - so where were all the fans?

French Open:The rain returns

11:13 , Jamie Braidwood

Groans around Roland Garros as the covers return to the outside courts. This is not what we wanted after losing almost a whole day of play yesterday.

French Open: GAME, SET AND MATCH!

11:10 , Jamie Braidwood

An early victory for Daniil Medvedev, as Miomir Kecmanovic retires from their second-round match while trailing 6-1 5-0. The Serbian had called the trianer but was unable to continue. Wrapped up by lunchtime? Not too bad at all for Medvedev, who will face either Mariano Navone or Tomas Machac next. Machac would be a great match, with the Czech coming off a victory over Novak Djokovic in Geneva.

French Open: Aryna Sabalenka underway next

11:02 , Jamie Braidwood

Medvedev loves clay today, by the look of his performance against Kecmanovic. He leads the Serbian 6-1 3-0, with Kecmanovic set to receive some treatment at the changeover after calling the trainer.

Hurkacz has hit back against Nakashima to win the second set 6-1, while Yulia Putintseva has edged a tight opening set against former World No 2 Paula Badosa 6-4.

Aryna Sabalenka will be out on Court Philippe-Chatrier and will be the heavy favourite against Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima

French Open: Fast start from Daniil Medvedev

10:38 , Jamie Braidwood

A second break in the opneing set for Daniil Medvedev, who pulls off a lovely drop shot from the back of the court to lead Kecmanovic 5-1. Dimitrov, meanwhile, has claimed the opening bagel against Marozsan. 6-0 for the Bulgarian.

A fast start for the seeds today.

French Open: Latest scores as play underway

10:29 , Jamie Braidwood

An early break for Medvedev as Kecmanovic swings wildly at a backhand down the line, while Grigor Dimitrov is off to a flying start against the Hungarian Fabian Marozsan. The 10th seed Dimitrov wins the first four games in a row on the lively Court 14.

French Open: Latest scores as play underway

10:21 , Jamie Braidwood

A hold apiece for Medvedev and Kecmanovic to get us started.

We also have a few matches resuming from yesterday, including the match between the eighth seed Hubert Hurkacz and the American Brandon Nakashima. That was suspended late in the first yet yesterday, and Nakashima has come out to win it on a tiebreak, 7-2.

French Open: Daniil Medvedev gets underway on day five

10:06 , Jamie Braidwood

Daniil Medvedev is as close to a hard-court specialist as you can get in the modern game, with the Russian fifth seed very open about the nature of his relationship with clay.

It’s been up and down, to say the least, but Medvedev has already improved upon his performance at last year’s French Open when he was knocked out in the opening round.

This time, Medvedev needed a late-night rally to defeat Dominik Koepfer on Monday and now takes on Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic on Suzanne-Lenglen

French Open: Last night’s action

09:51 , Jamie Braidwood

On Philippe-Chatrer, Jannik Sinner continued to work his way up to grand slam winning form as he saw off the 37-year-old Richard Gasquet in straight sets. Gasquet was playing in front of his home fans for what could have been the final time, but was dismissed by the Australian Open champion 6-4 6-2 6-4.

On Suzanne-Lenglen, another veteran put on a show in former French Open champion Stan Wawrinka, but the 39-year-old went down in four to Pavel Kotov. Wawrinka, who defeated Andy Murray in his opening match, was beaten in 3 hours 50 minutes, in a contest that finished late into the night.

Wawrinka was emotional by the end. Could that have been his last match in Paris?

French Open: More rain forecast

09:42 , Jamie Braidwood

We only had around 55 minutes of play on the outside courts yesterday before the rain arrived. Today it looks like we’ll have a dry start - but there are thunderstorm warnings from 3pm onwards.

Not ideal.

World No 1 Iga Swiatek calls out French Open crowd after thrilling win over Naomi Osaka

09:34 , Jamie Braidwood

World No 1 and defending French Open champion Iga Swiatek called out fans for making noise during points after surviving an epic three-set battle against fellow four-time grand slam winner Naomi Osaka.

Swiatek saved match point on her way to denying an inspired Osaka her biggest win since returning to the sport, as the 22-year-old fought from behind in the deciding set to win a 7-6 1-6 7-5 thriller.

The match was an instant classic but when speaking to former World No 2 Alex Corretja afterwards in her on-court interview, Swiatek referenced a shot she had missed earlier in the third set when a member of the crowd screamed out as she prepared to hit a drive volley.

Unprompted, Swiatek said: “I am sorry to bring this up. I have huge respect for you guys and I know we are playing for you. This is entertainment and we are also making money because of you.

“But sometimes under a lot of pressure when you scream something during the rally or right before the return, it’s really, really hard to be focused. I usually don’t bring this up because I want to be this kind of player that is in the zone and really focused.

“This is serious for us, we are fighting our whole lives to be better and better. Sometimes it’s hard to accept that. The stakes are big. There is a lot of money to win. The few points may change a lot.

“So please guys, if you can support us between the rallies not during that would be really, really amazing. I hope you are still going to like me because the French crowd might get some players that they don’t like and boo. I love you guys. I love playing here - let’s continue that.”

Iga Swiatek calls out French Open crowd after thrilling win over Naomi Osaka

Iga Swiatek survives match point to come through fierce battle with Naomi Osaka

09:32 , Jamie Braidwood

Iga Swiatek came through a titanic second-round clash with fellow four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka to reach the French Open third round.

Osaka looked set to pull off her biggest win in years when she led the world No 1 and defending champion 5-2 in the third set.

But the 26-year-old from Japan will have nightmares about a missed forehand as Swiatek survived a match point to come back from the brink of defeat and win 7-6 (1) 1-6 7-5.

It was a remarkable effort from Osaka, the former world No 1 who only returned to action after maternity leave in January.

French Open: Good morning

09:23 , Jamie Braidwood

Novak Djokovic returns to action as the French Open second round continues after an instant classic between Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka lit up a day of rain at Roland Garros.

The tournament will have to play catch-up after rain washed out the entire day’s schedule on the outside courts yesterday, but Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenkaheadline the action on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The roof guarantees there will be action there, with Gael Monfils carrying the hopes of the home crowd as the veteran Frenchman takes on the Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the night session.

Before then, Djokovic takes on Roberto Carballes Baena as the Serbian continues his bid to win a record 25th grand slam title at Roland Garros, while Alexander Zverev returns to action after defeating 14-time champion Rafael Nadal in his opening match on Monday. Zverev, who is looking like the favourite for the men’s title, faces David Goffin.

Yesterday, the favourite for the women’s title Swiatek saved match point on her way to defeating a resurgent Osaka in a thrilling three-set battle. Swiatek, who prevailed in almost three hours, then called out the French Open crowd for making noise during points, while Carlos Alcaraz was far from his best in seeing off the Dutch qualifier Jesper de Jong.
