World No. 1 Novak Djokovic continues the defence of his French Open title as he takes on Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena on Court Philippe Chatrier today.

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.
The French Open airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through June 9 from Roland Garros in Paris.
NBC and Peacock return for middle weekend coverage this Saturday and Sunday and then the semifinals and finals the following week. All NBC TV coverage also streams on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.
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.
