Rafael Nadal, of course, has just dispatched the British No 2 Cameron Norrie in straight sets. Novak Djokovic overwhelmed Ricardas Berankis in straight sets after Diego Schwartzman of Argentina did the same to the German veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber. In the men’s singles, the very talented 19-year-old Lorenzo Musetti came through a five-setter against his Italian compatriot Marco Cecchinato to book a place in the last 16 of his first grand slam event. The shock of the day was Barbora Krejcikova’s win against Elina Svitolina, the fifth seed. Stephens was too good, as was the champion Iga Swiatek for Anett Kontaveit, even though Kontaveit came out firing on all cylinders and had the Pole in plenty of bother early on. That was all she wrote for today’s French Open live blog, and it was a suitably top-class affair, starting with Sloane Stephens’ accomplished victory against Karolina Muchova, in which both players struck the ball beautifully.
