Kudermetova is on the board, winning a 16-point game to maintain service. Elsewhere, Giorgi fights Sabalenka, the Italian leads 4-0 in the second. More common for Pegula, the American already has a break to lead the second set 3-0.
Gilles Simon has played amazing tennis to reach the third round at the age of 37, but Marin Čilić is a quality step. They are in action in Chatrier, where the Croatian is already a break and serves for a 2-0 in the first.

Kasatkina beat Rogers 6-3, 6-2!
All on track seven, as the American’s unforced back-to-back error in service completes a regular Kasatkina victory.
Badosa does not waste time. Kudermetova splashes a right from the right of his rival and the Spaniard has a 2-0 lead after a break in the first game.
Some more news in women’s singles … Sabalenka won the first set 6-4 against Giorgi, Pegula won the first set of her match against Zidanzek 6-1, and Kasatkina is on the verge of victory against Rogers, with the Russian leader. 5-2 on the second.
Suzanne Lenglet is now the third seed Paula Badosa against the 29th seed Veronika Kudermetova. The Russian will present the toughest challenge for Badosa so far.
Zheng wins 6-0, 3-0 when Cornet retires
The injury that the French player picked up in the second round was too much to overcome and Cornet has cut the game short.
Updated at 14:00 BST
A couple more matches of women’s singles underway. Camila Giorgi and Aryna Sabalenka lead 3-3 in the first, while Jessica Pegula is 4-0 against Tamara Zidansek in the first set of their match.
Medvedev wins Kecmanovic 6-2 6-4 6-2
Another absurd setback for Medvedev finally puts his opponent to bed. The world number one is playing his best clay tennis and he proved it when he mattered against Kecmanović. This will bring to the fore the other great weapons of Roland Garros.
And so it is with Kecmanović. Two games are over in an instant and Medvedev is now 5-2.
Updated at 13.48 BST
Kecmanović’s position could be coming to an end. Medvedev finally gets his fourth break point to take third place by 3-2. Can you back up the service? That way, it would be a big surprise if you didn’t.
In the battle of Russia against America on track Seven, Katasina took the first set 6-3.
In Chatrier, Zheng stuffed Cornet into the first set.
Kecmanović is giving his all, but Medvedev always seems to be able to get something special when needed. He is still in service with the 2-2, but Medvedev is applying pressure and a scandalous throw-in from behind the bottom line hits his opponent. This seems like a crucial service game for Kecmanović.
Rublev wins Garin 6-4 3-6 6-2 7-6 (13-11)!
We have a winner on track 14, as Rublev finally wins the tie-break.
Rublev and Garin’s match has now passed three hours and in a tie-break. There is nothing to separate these two, they are 11 each in the decisive.
Kecmanović will not leave here. The Croatian imposes a breaking point, but the men’s world number increases his level to get two great services, not to mention a wonderful setback to win the game. In the service at 1-1 in the third.
Zheng took a 2-0 lead over Cornet, while Kasatkina, the No. 20 seed, is 4-1 ahead of Rogers.
Kecmanović is still doing well. He overcomes the disappointment of losing the second set by winning a 23-shot rally and closes the service game with a decisive play on the net.
Remember when I said that Kecmanović played well? It turns out that Medvedev noticed. The Russian was thrown into the only service set of the second set that his opponent did not win to love and is now 6-4 6-4.
We also have women’s singles matches to watch. Chatrier local favorite Alizé Cornet faces Qinwen Zheng, while on the Seven Shelby Rogers track she faces Daria Kasatkina.
Rublev and Garin’s game on track 14 went into the fourth set after Rublev won the third 6-2. There we could go to a tie-break with Rublev leading 6-5, but the set is currently in service.
Thanks Joan and hello everyone. As I record, the focus shifts to Daniil Medvedev’s third-round match against Miomir Kecmanović, with the Russian leading 6-2, 4-3 on the court Suzanne Lenglen. The second set is currently in service, but the 22-year-old Croatian is struggling a lot here and has just won his last service game to love.
Well, I’ll move on to Tom Bassam to cover the last one, with Medvedev in action, and many more to follow.
Swiatek wins Kovinic 6-3 7-5
Swiatek runs 40-0 at his service, creating three game points, the first saved on the net by Kovininc. There is no such opportunity in your second. Swiatek claims 31st consecutive victory.
Swiatek, with a 5-4 loss in the second set, seems to catch up, and then serves to equalize. This is a test, and she is being worked on for her 31st consecutive victory. A drop shot from Kovinic catches him, but we go 30-30, and Swiatek hits a winner at home and then takes advantage of the break.
Daniil Medvedev is now on the court, going 4-2 to Miomir Kecmanovic in the third set, although the focus should be on Swiatek, who has just fallen in love in the second set, and 4 -4 with Kovinic. Here’s a stumbling block.
Swiatek, with 4-1, takes advantage to break Kovinic’s point, and then leaves it easily. It’s 4-2, and the Montenegrin has a way of doing it. Meanwhile, Rublev attacked Garin to take the third set 6-2, and now leads 2-1 in the sets. It is 2-0 in the sets that McDonald is behind Sinner, the second has gone to a tie-break.
Updated at 12.35 BST
Swiatek, while not at his best dominating moment, is now a break with Kovinic, and 2-1 and a set-up. Meanwhile, in the third set, Rublev broke Garin and leads 4-2.
Going for service in this third set between Rublev and Garin in the third set, while the only other singles match played this Saturday at lunchtime sees Americans Mackenzie Mcdonald and Jannik Sinner of Italy drew 5-5 in the second set, without Sinner winning the first set 6-3.
Swiatek did the job, taking Kovinic’s first set 6-3, though it took more than 45 minutes.
Philippe-Chartrier is much calmer than Suzanne Lenglen, where so many fans supported Jeanjean, although Swiatek does not do it his way, with Kovinic stopping his usual dominance. It’s 4-3 in the first set. In the men’s singles, Andrev Rublev, the seventh seed, is 1-1 in sets with Chilean Cristian Garin, 6-2, 6-3, 1-1 in the third.
Begu defeats Jean 6-1 6-4
Allo Allo! Jeanjean reaches 0-30 in Begu’s service. A tumultuous noise greets that spark of hope, just because Begu reached 15-30 with a bang. Then Jeanjean passes a shot from the bottom line to set the 30-30. Then, a drop shot allows him to crash a winner at home to get a match point. A small concentration ends with Jeanjean sinking down the line. The French, eh, the resistance is coming to an end, and it showed up a little too late to stop Begu.
Updated at 11:42 BST
Meanwhile, Swiatek fired their home serve game, to advance 3-1, with Kovininc holding his service.
Begu is not discouraged by the partisanship that surrounds her, some fine that brings her back to the starting point, just because Jeanjean is revived. It goes to two, to loud roars. Buzzes even louder when Begu stretches to offer a point of play. Then Jeanjean claims it for the first time. Begu, after sitting down, will have to hold his nerves in the service. It’s 5-4 now.
Iga Swiatek, whose two games so far have been in less than two collective hours, does not find it easy against Kovinic, who finally breaks to lose 2-0 in the first set, but is opposing a strong resistance. It took a while, almost the same as it took him to win a set in those early games. Kovinic needs to order his first serve, but there is a way to get into this game, as dominant as the Pole is.
Jeanjean serves to lead 5-2 in the second set. Begu is forced to serve, and with the approval of French commentators, passes “le break” – and love – and Jeanjean has signs of life. “Go blue,” the fans also sing.
Jeanjean continues to drown with the breaking points with Begu’s service, but is now playing for her life, ruling out one winner to claim another. Begu hits his own winner to level up. The local crowd is partisan, strong for this time of day, although there is a groan when a trademark shot gives Begu the lead. Then Jeanjean scored and with 5-1 in the second set, the Romanian is one game away from winning the game.
Updated at 11.19 BST
Begu is now 4-1, and Jeanjean escapes, the glory of his second-round victory over Pliskova was taken away. The player who missed six years with a knee injury had made a glorious comeback, but is now struggling. He almost regains the 4-2, but there is agony because he loses a big winner at a break point.
Updated at 11.09 BST
The first news is not good for the local contingent, with Leolia Jeanjean already looking at the barrel of the defeat of Irina-Camelia Begu, she lost the first set by 6-1, and it is a break and 2-1 for the Romanian Right Now. .
Tumaini Carayol outlines Carlos Alcaraz, the latest most current novelty, and perhaps the one that overthrows the aforementioned old guard. He destroyed Sebastian Korda yesterday.
His immense manual dexterity and shooting skills are united by his supreme athleticism and defense, qualities that have produced countless incredible points that have further underscored his talent. Since his victory in Madrid, the hype around Alcaraz has increased, and he arrived in Paris indicated by some bookmakers as the tournament favorite.
The two biggest guns did their thing yesterday and we will soon be able to see them fight, albeit well earlier than usual.
Preamble
Hello, everyone. We return to Roland Garros, and the stands can be increased by the fans of Liverpool and Real Madrid who recover the returns before …
