The Montpellier-born Cazaux certainly has the support behind him. Looks like a couple of his friends are in the crowd leading the chants.

Next up, we will be following the match between Tomás Martín Etcheverry and Arthur Cazaux and the rest of Qinwen Zheng against Alize Cornet.

The roofs are still up on Suzanne Lenglen and on Philippe Chatrier as it is still raining in Paris. Games on the other courts have been pushed back until 1pm local time (which is in 19 minutes) and may be pushed back further.

In case you missed the action yesterday, Rafa Nadal bowed out at what could be his final French Open match after a first round loss against Alexander Zverev.

And the defending champion, Iga Swiatek, set up a match with Naomi Osaka after defeating Leolia Jeanjean in straight sets.

On Court Philippe Cartier, the Australian Open runner-up Qinwen Zheng is up 3-0 in the first set against home favourite Alize Cornet.

Rybakina speaks after her win on being back at Roland-Garros:

Last year I missed this tournament, and it was really hard. Really happy to be back and to compete here.

On playing in rainy weather:

The ball is a little bit heavier. You need to move better. It’s different, but that is tennis you need to adjust to the rainy weather.

On what she does in Paris between matches:

Just staying calm, watching something maybe and try to mentally prepare for the matches.

Very short answers from the world No 4. She may be a bit frustrated that she was not able to close out the match and the soonest possible moment.

But then again, the world No 4 has always been quite subdued and it was a strong performance overall despite the nervy moments.

Rybakina [4] beats Minnen 6-2 6-3

*Minnen 2-6 3-5 Rybakina (denotes server) Minnen has a chance to prolong her good form but her second serve is not there today. She opens up the game by netting one at the bottom of the net. However she manages to go 40-15 up and takes the game after a short rally. Wow!

Minnen 2-6 2-5 Rybakina* (denotes server) Rybakina was serving for the match but fails to close it out! Minnen earns a break after forcing some errors and finding a surge of energy. When she pushes Rybakina to the baseline, she is really able to gain an advantage.

*Minnen 2-6 1-5 Rybakina (denotes server) Rybakina pushes her return further and further back to win advantage in the game after a few shaky moments. And she gets the break of serve after a powerful backhand.

Minnen 2-6 1-4 Rybakina* (denotes server) This has become an incredibly uneven match, if that was not clear. But Minnen gets on the board in this second set after a few unforced errors from Rybakina and some well-hit backhand shots from Minnen.

*Minnen 2-6 0-4 Rybakina (denotes server) Minnen is posing question after question for the world No 4 but she seemingly has all the answers. Despite the one receiving the serve, it is Rybakina who is making her opponent move all across the court with strong forehands and dropshots. Once again, it is break point and Rybakina deals with the second serve quickly.

Minnen 2-6 0-3 Rybakina* (denotes server)

The games in which Rybakina serve end much more quickly with a few aces to wrap things up.

Nine games in a row with wins for Rybakina in this match. Minnen is not able to get a sniff.

We get a quick shot of the other courts in Paris and they’re all drenched because of the rain. Games have been pushed back to 12.15pm local time.

*Minnen 2-6 0-2 Rybakina (denotes server) Rybakina is, of course, known as a big hitter and accurate server. But she has recently been adding these precise drop shots to her game that have made her much more well rounded. Minnen just can’t keep up.

Minnen 2-6 0-1 Rybakina* (denotes server) Wow! Great effort from Minnen. Rybakina hits her shots all over the court but the Belgian twists her body and manages to return every single ball, her last backhand flying over Rybakina to the baseline.

But Rybakina is keeping her at bay and only allows her opponent to briefly get her hopes up before a few flying aces to take the first game of the second set.

Rybakina takes the first set 6-2

Minnen 2-5 Rybakina* (*denotes server) Great from Minnen early on who sends Rybakina the wrong way on a return. She then hits back with a great slice to try to move Rybakina around but the world No 4 is better at that game and Minnen can only watch as the ball flies past her.

Minnen is playing better as she tries to vary her shots. At 40-30 she plays a nice drop shot, but again Rybakina is able to anticipate it and win the point. She then wins the advantage and wraps up the game with ease.

*Minnen 2-4 Rybakina (*denotes server) After getting some advice from her coach, Minnen tries to longer serves but annoyingly for her, Rybakina’s strike zone is so large given her stature. It takes real precision to hit her weak areas. The world No 4 wins that game without her opponent winning a singe point.

Minnen 2-3 Rybakina* (*denotes server) A couple of quick aces wrap up this game incredibly quickly. Rybakina is known for her incredible serve that is extremely difficult to defend, a lesson that Minnen is learning in real time.

*Minnen 2-2 Rybakina (*denotes server) Minnen’s second serve lets her down early on but some good play from both players gets us at 40-40. A short rally ends in Rybakina netting a volley, but she gains the advantage after taking advantage of Minnen’s poor positioning. It is a break back and we’re all tied.

Minnen 2-1 Rybakina* (*denotes server) Rybakina is on the board! She finishes it quick after returning back to back serves with incredible pace.

A reminder of some of the notable matches scheduled for today:

• Felipe Alves v Casper Ruud – 12:15pm

• Katie Boulter v Paula Badosa – 1:15pm

• Erika Andreeva v Aryna Sabalenka – 14:15pm

• Dan Evans v Holger Rune – 14:30pm

• Novak Djokovic v Pierre-Hugues Herbert – 7:30pm

Right now, Minnen v Rybakina is the only match in action due to the rainy weather in Paris.

*Minnen 2-0 Rybakina (*denotes server) Extraordinary. The first six points of this match were unforced errors by the world No 4. And after finally getting a couple points on the board she then nets a shot and seems to lose her rhythm again. Minnen then uses some tricky shots near the net to round out the game.

Minnen 1-0 Rybakina* (*denotes server) A very ropey start for Rybakina with four unforced errors.
