Raducanu gave an interview attributing her dogged 1st round win to an improved fitness regime.

Sure enough, she lost her 2nd round match.

"Desperate" Dan Evans lost in 4 sets.

Karolina Pliskova made a "shock" 2nd round exit to some journeywoman. Simona Halep crashed out too.

Swiatek's good run continues, as countless female seeds crash out.

Swiatek was pushed to a decider for the first time in 10 matches, but still remains on course for the big win.

Nadal meets Djokovic in the quarters.

A must see! I haven't seen much of Roland Garros so far this tournament. How has Djoko been received after his vaccine refusal??

Been a really good tournament so far, glad to see some newbies coming through.
Djokovic came out to boo's in his first game.

Cheers for that Cooper T, I thought he might! The least he deserves!!

Crazy first two sets between Rafa and Novak just over two hours could be another few hours to go and good luck to fans getting home or back to a hotel afterwards

Seems a bit rough to make two old geezers slog it out until the small hours (good thing it didn't go the distance). Well done Rafa though, probably the right result politically too.

Awesome match!! These two rarely fail to provide such drama. Both determined not to give - in, and willing to reach very very deep to get the job done! Such admiration for tennis players, with every dollar and cent earned in the most acute physically demanding sporting environment. Some sports men you could argue are overpaid in their roles, but not on the tennis court more often than not, where they reach levels of physical effort, arguably only reached by the likes of Boxers or iron man contestants!
