Novak Djokovic v Valentin Royer LIVE: French Open latest scores and updates as stars battle heat on day four

Cameron Norrie is set to undergo a scan in London for a rib injury that led to his withdrawal from the French Open, though he remains optimistic about his Wimbledon prospects.

“It’s a tough feeling right now,” he said. “I thought I would be ready but it was obviously too soon.

“I think I was just a little bit mentally tired, not having the ability mentally to put the pain away, the pain aside, and just play point for point.

“I know I’m playing so well, so that was even more frustrating, and even at 20 per cent today I was able to compete with the guy.

“I thought I was feeling better this morning when I woke up and when the match started it was just a lot of distraction on every shot. So it was tough.”

There’s been another upset on the men’s side with 21st seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina knocked out by Argentina’s big-serving Thiago Agustín Tirante, 4-6 7-6 6-1 6-3.

Tirante, the world No 60, is through to the third round of a grand slam for the first time and loves the clay.

Victory for Iga Swiatek in round two! The four-time French Open champion wins 6-2 6-3 against left-hander Sara Bejlek, in around 90 minutes, with the 20-year-old Czech putting up a decent fight in a match that was more competitive than the scoreline suggests.

Swiatek is now 26-2 in second-round matches at a grand slam, and has not lost at this stage since the 2019 US Open. She improves her record to 42-3 at Roland Garros, as she aims for a fifth title.

However, a big battle could be coming up next: Swiatek may play former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, who has won all six matches she has played against Swiatek. Ostapenko plays Magda Linette in round two.

Belgian tennis player Alexander Blockx voiced his frustration at the French Open shortly after being forced to withdraw from the tournament having suffered a sprained ankle during a practice session.

Blockx, the in-form world no 37 who achieved a career-best run to the Madrid Open semi-finals last month, said he twisted his right ankle and heard a “snap” after tripping over the rolled-up covers positioned at the back of the court.

In a post on Instagram, Blockx took a swipe at the “really necessary covers” at the back of the court, tagging Roland Garros, before he edited the caption and removed that line.

Dutchman Jesper de Jong was the top seed in men’s qualifying but lost in the final round. However, the withdrawal of Arthur Fils saw the world No 106 enter the main draw as a lucky loser, where he made the most of his chance by beating former champion Stan Wawrinka on Monday.

Now, De Jong has backed up that win by beating Italy’s Federico Cina to reach the third round of a grand slam for the first time in his career. What an achievement for the 25-year-old, who is the first man through today.

Moise Kouame became the youngest man to win a match at Roland Garros since 1991 as the teenage wildcard defeated former US Open champion Marin Cilic in straight sets on his first appearance at a grand slam tournament.

The 17-year-old Frenchman triumphed 7-6 6-1 6-1 against the veteran Cilic, 37, and is also the youngest man to win a grand slam match since a 16-year-old Bernard Tomic advanced to the second round of the 2009 Australian Open.

A night after French favourite Gael Monfils waved goodbye to Roland Garros at the age of 39, the tournament may have witnessed the arrival of a new star in the Paris-born Kouame – who is also coached by France’s Richard Gasquet, a former prodigy who reached a career-high No 7.

Four-time champion Iga Swiatek is up and running on Philippe-Chatrier and wins the opening set 6-2 against Czech opponent Sara Bejlek, the 20-year-old who has enjoyed a breakthrough season on the WTA this year with her first title coming in Abu Dhabi.

The first winner of the day is 11th seed Belinda Bencic, who routs American opponent Caty McNally 6-4 6-0. Curiously, Bencic equals her career-best result at Roland Garros by reaching the third round.

British No 1 Cameron Norrie retired from the French Open while trailing Paraguay’s Adolfo Daniel Vallejo and struggling with a pre-tournament rib injury.

Jacob Fearnley was then beaten in straight sets by Juan Manuel Cerundolo, meaning none of the male Brits have progressed further than the first round.

Also yesterday, Daniil Medvedev lost in the first round of the French Open for the seventh time in his career as the former world No 1’s difficult relationship with Roland Garros continued in a five-set defeat to Australian wildcard Adam Walton.

Medvedev, the sixth seed, lost the final four games of a rollercoaster first-round match and capitulated on serve to lose the last game to love, with Walton winning 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 in three hours and 22 minutes.

Medvedev, 30, has now fallen at the opening hurdle in seven of his 10 appearances in Paris since making his debit in 2017, including three of the last four years.

Late last night, fifth seed Jessica Pegula became the biggest casualty of the French Open so far as the American fell to a a 1-6 6-3 6-3 defeat to Australian Kimberly Birrell.

Pegula has never made it past the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, and has now lost in the first round of the tournament three times. Birrell, the world No 83, secured one of the biggest victories of her career and will now face Ukraine’s ‌Oleksandra Oliynykova in round two.
