The French Open 2024 has started in a relatively predictable manner so far, paving the way for blockbuster clashes to come at Roland-Garros.
Reigning champion Novak Djokovic heads up the men's singles tournament with the top 15 seeds all safely into the second round.
Iga Swiatek is the frontrunner in the women's tournament with 13 of the top 15 having cleared the first hurdle.
Follow live coverage of day five at the French Open as Djokovik, Sabalenka, Rybakina breeze into the third round at Roland Garros, with Casper Ruud and Holger Rune in late action
With the sun setting and the rainclouds lifting, the evening has been a good chance to make up for lost time in the schedule. Here are some bits you may have missed:
Australia’s 11th seed Alex de Minaur made light work of Jaume Munar, winning in straight sets 7-5, 6-1, 6-4.
He’ll face Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round, after the German shocked 19th seed Alexander Bublik 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Tommy Paul is safely through though. The US 14th seed outclassed Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-0, 6-2.
But the journey is over for Jelena Ostapenko (9) who lost 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-3 to Clara Tauson.
US star Sofia Kenin awaits next for Tauson in round three.
SHELTON 7-6(7) 6-4 0-0 NISHIKORI
Ben Shelton (15) did the hard work to get two sets up but he won’t have wanted to progress into the third round through a retirement.
Sadly, Kei Nishikori called it quits ahead of starting the third set due to a shoulder injury – thereby ending his first Grand Slam appearance in almost three years.
Next for US rising star Shelton in the third round will be Canadian 21st seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who beat Henri Squire in four sets earlier today.
Sadly, we've got the covers back on the outside courts in Paris — although the heavy rain has eased off.
Which means we're down to just one live game, that being on Court Suzanne-Lenglen as last year’s beaten finalist and seventh seed, Casper Ruud, takes on Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. This one is five games in and has so far gone with serve.
Even if the rain continues to fall, there will be another game on Court Philippe-Chatrier when Lorenzo Musetti (30) takes on French favorite, Gael Monfils. But that one won’t start for another 45 minutes.
OFNER 3-6 3-6 6-4 7-5 7-5(5) BAEZ
It’s been an epic on Court 3. Argentine 20th seed Sebastian Baez won the first two sets, only for Austria’s Sebastian Ofner to take the next two and force a decider.
That went all the way to a deciding tiebreak, where Ofner took control early and came through 10-5.
A remarkable match and result, which takes Ofner into a third-round match against the winner of Corentin Moutet vs Alexander Shevchenko. Moutet is currently two sets to the good, but a break down in the third.
Let’s have a quick catch-up on some of the action on the outside courts, now we’ve got sunshine in Paris:
17th seed Liudmila Samsonova made light work of US outsider Amanda Anisimova, winning 6-2, 6-1.
Samsonova’s opponent in the third round will be Elisabetta Cocciaretto, who has just beaten Cristina Bucsa 6-1, 6-4.
US 11th seed Danielle Collins is out, suffering a shock loss to Ola Danilovic 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4.
Frances Tiafoe (25) is also out, losing to Denis Shapovalov 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.
VOLYNETS 6-0 1-6 4-6 VONDROUSOVA
This was another match that felt like it went on for days but after a scare, fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova is through at the expense of US challenger, Katie Volynets.
Both players exchanged breaks in the decider, but it was Vondrousova who piled on the pressure in the final game with two winners to take advantage of a rare Volynets double fault.
On her third match point, Vondrousova got it done and the Czech will now face French outsider Chloe Paquet in the third round.
Paquet won an epic against another Czech, Katerina Siniakova (32), on Court 7 a little earlier today. That one finished 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(6).
Madison Keys (14) has a beaming smile after pocketing that win over Mayar Sherif in straight sets. Speaking on court, Keys said:
💬 “She really raised her level in the second set. I had a few chances to break but couldn’t do it. Had I done, things might have been different. But I’m really happy to get things done in two sets.
“I missed the beginning of the season and felt some pressure trying to catch-up with everyone in Miami. But once I got some momentum in Madrid, it’s been so far so good. I’m just really happy with how I’m playing and that I get another match here.”
It’s a day off tomorrow for Keys, who said she will try to find an indoor court to practice despite the weather – but if she doesn’t manage it, she’s happy to rest too. That sounds like a lovely place to be.
Madison Keys (14) was dominant in the opening set but the second was very different on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.
A brief exchange of breaks mid-set was led by Mayar Sherif, who then earned three set points in the tiebreak. But Keys dug in, saved them all and then took her one and only shot at match point to reach the third round.
Keys will now face either Sara Errani or compatriot and 22nd seed, Emma Navarro in the third round.
