Bit more of an even contest between Griekspor and Quinn. The latter lost the first set, but takes the next two, with a tie-break. They’ve been going two hours for three sets. This Sinner game seems likely to not last anything like as long.

French Open live: Sinner, Zverev, Gauff and Draper in action on day seven | French Open Key events And there goes the bagel/beigel, Sinner taking the first set 6-0. He’s looking the absolute real deal. Lahecka takes Sinner to 40-40, who suddenly seems rushed. There even a couple of deuces, but 5-0 soon arrives. Make that 3-0. Sinner wants to get this one done, and perhaps get himself settled before the Champions League final later. He lands three break points for 4-0. And takes the second one. Sinner, rangy and usually implacable, is already 2-0 up on Lehecka, who has never previously taken a set off him. This is awesome stuff, and already. Sinner has won both previous matches with his Czech opponent, who has put in Sinner to serve first. Lehecka could be a dangerous opponent. Big win for Australia as Paula Badosa, the 10th seed, is downed in two sets by Daria Kasatkina. That means Sinner and Lehecka will be on soon. The world No 1 reached the semis last season, losing in five sets to Carlos Alcaraz. First win of the day, and comprehensive: Andreeva beats Putintseva 6-3 6-1. Nice and easy for the teenager. One to watch. The latest Roland Garros reporting from Tumaini Carayol. The early starters: Paula Badosa and Daria Kasatkina – 1oth seed v 17th sees the Australian having won the first on Court Simonne-Mathieu. Mirra Andreeva, the teenager, is also taking part in her second round match, and the sixth seed took the first set from Yulia Putintseva. Both those matches with serve in the secodn set. The men’s early starters, are Tallon Griekspoor and Ethan Quinn, Dutchman v American. The first set went to Griekspoor, but Quinn leads 4-1 in the second. The news from a cloudy Paris is that it’s cloudy and there’s been spots of rain to trouble the early matches. There is a roof on the two main courts so there will be tennis all day. PreambleMorning, all. Roland Garros’ middle Saturday, a moving day of sorts, with plenty of big guns in action, including plucky Brits Jack Draper and Cam Norrie. Here’s the order of play on the main courts. Court Philippe-Chatrier (Start at 11:00)
