Karen Khachanov (13) beats Arthur Géa 6-3 7-6(3) 6-0 Marta Kostyuk (15) beats Oksana Selekhmetova 6-2 6-3 Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature We watch VT of Zverev talking about his bad back, saying he felt “unbelievable” after seeing the famous German doctor, Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, known as Healing Hans. After a few months, though, things worsened again, so he returned to him after Rome, and is back feeling good. He’ll know this is a chance for him, with C

This is a massive chance for him to break his grand slam duck – he’ll not get a better one, which brings with it immense pressure, the kind under which he’s previously wilted. Next on Lenglen: Hailey Baptiste (26) v Barbora Krejciokova. Géa played pretty well, especially in set two, but isn’t ready to compete physically at this level and towards the end, it showed. Still, he’s got some talent, and it’ll be interesting to see where he goes from here; Khachanov meets Jacquet or Trungelliti next. Alright, Dzumhur has taken the third set 6-2 to lead Davidovich Fokina 2-1 … only to be broken in game one of the fourth. Kecmanovic has beaten Maroszan 6, 3 and 4, so meets Etcheverry or Borges next; Machac ands Bergs are level at 3-3 in the first; and Khachanov now leads Gea 2-0 5-0, the youngster wilting in the heat. Next on Chatrier: Benjamin Bonzi v Alexander Zverev (2). Bencic says she was naturally nervous in the first round, but she was so excited when she saw she’d play on Chatrier.

A decent workout for Bencic – Kraus, at 24, looks to be hitting her stride – and she’ll face Mcnally or Tomljanovic next. Kraus is forced to fight through multiple deuces, but eventually holds for 3-5; Bencic must now serve for the match while, unsurprisingly, Khachanov holds the breaks the flagging Gea to leads 6-3 7-6 2-0. On Lenglen, Bencic consolidates to lead Kraus 6-2 5-2, and will be really happy with that against an opponent giving her a proper test.
