Here\u2019s a report from earlier focused on Daria Kasatkina\u2019s defeat by Aryna Sabalenka:<\/p>\n Much more to come from Tumaini Carayol in Paris. Thanks for reading, and have a lovely evening.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Potapova beats Gauff! 6-4, 7-6(1), 4-6<\/p>\n You\u2019d have got fairly decent odds on that when Gauff forced a tiebreak in the second from 5-2 down. But the Russian, who declared for Austria last year, looked to be struggling in the heat from midway through the second set, has dug out an impressive win. Hats off to the 28th seed.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s singles champion of 2025 and world No 4 is out, and her remaining rivals eyes\u2019 will be lighting up at the chance that has now materialised.<\/p>\n Anastasia Potapova reacts to victory. Photograph: Julien de Rosa\/AFP\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.16 EDT<\/p>\n Gauff, having roared back at her opponent in the second from 5-2 down, looked much stronger. But now the Russian Potapova is battling just as hard. It\u2019s 4-4 in the third and final set.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Tabilo beats Kouame! 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (9)<\/p>\n Kouame\u2019s journey is over. He, and the home fans, do not get their deciding set. But what a sensational tournament it\u2019s been from the 17-year-old. There will be many more to come.<\/p>\n He took out Marin Cilic in round one and Adolfo Daniel Vallejo in the second round, but the this third-round clash was a bridge too far. What entertainment for the fans on Court Suzanne Lenglen.<\/p>\n Suzanne Nsemba, Moise Kouame\u2019s mother, gestures from the stands before his heroic defeat was confirmed. Photograph: Anne-Christine Poujoulat\/AFP\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.07 EDT<\/p>\n Make that 8-9 Tabilo. Kouame is still fighting but he\u2019s on the back foot \u2026 but he saves a fourth match point! It\u2019s 9-9 and Kouame is still in with a shout of forcing a deciding set. We know what the Parisian fans want.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.55 EDT<\/p>\n Now 7-8 Tabilo, and match point No 3 for the Chilean.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Another big serve from Kouame, and he has a straightforward chance to put a forehand away, but hits it into the tramlines, just! It\u2019s match point Tabilo, but almost immediately, back to 7-7 in the breaker when Tabilo dumps into the net!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Tabilo can serve to create a match point \u2026 On second serve, Kouame hammers a big forehand long, and it\u2019s match point Tabilo, Kouame to serve.<\/p>\n Kouame hammers down a wide ace! The crowd are loving it! That was superb. It\u2019s 6-6 in the tiebreak, and 6-6 in the fourth.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.51 EDT<\/p>\n Tabilo hits long. The crowd erupts. That\u2019s 5-4 Kouame \u2026 can he force a decider. He clenches his fist and celebrates in determined fashion. But a classy serve-volley from Tabilo and it\u2019s 5-5.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Gauff and Potapova are 3-3 in the decider, with a break apiece.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n And now 3-3 \u2026 the home fans are right behind the 17-year-old from Sarcelles in northern Paris. The commentator just called him \u201cthe Frenchman\u201d but surely he\u2019s still a teenager \u2026 Now 3-4 to Tabilo.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.47 EDT<\/p>\n Ooof! Tabilo winds up what looks like a winner to the corner, but Kouame is there in the flash and finds an angle back across court. That\u2019s high quality \u2026 and Tabilo fluffs it. 3-2.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Kouame into a tiebreak with Tabilo. He needs this to stay in the competition \u2026 and it\u2019s 2-2 as we speak.<\/p>\n 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-6 (2-2)<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.44 EDT<\/p>\n Gauff is a break up in the decider v Potapova now. It\u2019s 2-1.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, on Simonne-Mathieu, Madison Keys (19) has begun against the ninth seed, Victoria Mboko of Canada. It\u2019s 2-1 Keys with neither player having held serve to date.<\/p>\n Madison Keys. Photograph: Robert Prange\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.38 EDT<\/p>\n Juan Manuel Cerundolo and Landaluce are going deep.

Photograph: St\u00e9phane Mah\u00e9\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.14 EDT<\/p>\n Gauff 6-4, 5-5 Potapova<\/p>\n Potapova goes down on her haunches after Gauff breaks her to -15. The Russian looks like she can\u2019t believe it. But Gauff is coming for her and wants this in two sets.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.10 EDT<\/p>\n Potapova can serve for the second set v the fourth seed. Gauff drills a sublime forehand down the line for 0-15. Then Potapova hits hopelessly long for 0-30 \u2026 and hopelessly wide for 0-40.<\/p>\n Gauff is really on top here, having been 5-2 down in this second set.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.07 EDT<\/p>\n Gauff is fighting in the second set, it\u2019s 6-4, 3-5, Potapova still a break up.<\/p>\n However, Gauff\u2019s opponent is showing signs of beginning to wilt in the heat, and physically, Gauff is looking strong.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.04 EDT<\/p>\n Berrettini beats Comesana! 7-5, 5-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-6 (13)<\/p>\n Huge! Comesana finally errs on Berrettini\u2019s fifth match point, he hits long, and the injury-plagued Italian is into the fourth round.<\/p>\n Joy. Photograph: Guglielmo Mangiapane\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.02 EDT<\/p>\n Wow, what a point at match point for Comesana. Berrettini clings on in a protracted exchange \u201315 big shots \u2013 Comesana hits long and it\u2019s back to 13-13.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Make that 12-12. The tiebreak is approaching 20 minutes in duration.<\/p>\n On comms, they\u2019re talking about the weakness of Berrettini\u2019s backhand compared to his forehand \u2026 and on cue the Italian spoons a regulation forehand high, wide and not very handsome. 13-12 Comesana.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.54 EDT<\/p>\n 7-5, 5-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-6 are the scores on the doors, and now it\u2019s 12-11 to the Italian in the breaker.<\/p>\n Italy’s Matteo Berrettini reacts.

(6-4, 3-6, 4-6.)<\/p>\n Kouame now trails against Tabilo, two sets to one. Photograph: Thibault Camus\/APShare<\/a><\/p>\n Cerundolo 5-4 v Landaluce now. The 24-year-old Argentinian has been at the second round of a slam before \u2013 the US Open in 2023 \u2013 and has exited the Australian Open at the first round (twice) and Wimbledon (once).<\/p>\n He\u2019s closing in on a very special achievement, and a place in the last 16 at the French Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Berrettini and Comesana are into a tiebreak on Simonne-Mathieu. 7-6, 5-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-6.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The wunderkid Kouame has lost control in the third against Tabilo: It\u2019s 5-3 to the Chilean now. (6-3, 3-6, 3-5).<\/p>\n Ditto Gauff, who trails Potapova 3-0 in the second set having won the first 6-4.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.36 EDT<\/p>\n And over on Court 7, Sinner\u2019s conqueror, Juan Manuel Cerundolo, is locked in a fourth set with Martin Landaluce. 6-4, 6-7, 7-6, 4-3.<\/p>\n The commentators are remarking how for Cerundolo, now being on an outside court after his big day out \u2013 and huge win \u2013 against the world No 1 and overwhelming tournament favourite on Philippe Chatrier \u2013 it\u2019s almost like playing two different tournaments. But, they say, he is applying himself just as well as against Sinner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.34 EDT<\/p>\n And on Philippe Chatrier, Coco Gauff (4) seals the first set v Anastasia Potapova (28). She wins it 6-4.<\/p>\n Coco Gauff leans into a forehand during the first set.

Photograph: Dimitar Dilkoff\/AFP\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.19 EDT<\/p>\n Thanks Katy. Arsenal 1, PSG love. But what\u2019s going on in the tennis?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n With that, I\u2019m shuffling off to cheer on Arsenal, so I\u2019ll leave you with Luke McLaughlin. Over to you Luke \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Kouame, having worked so hard to retrieve the break, has fallen a break down again and trails Tabilo 5-3 in the second set. So Tabilo is serving to level up the match at 15-all \u2026 advances to 30-15 and quickly 40-15 \u2026 and the Chilean lefty flings his forehand wide! He\u2019s still got one more set point, though, and he takes it with a bruising ace down the T. Cue the sound of silence from the French crowd. It\u2019s Kouame 6-4, 3-6 Tabilo.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile Anne Keothavong, in the TNT Sports outdoor studio, is wearing an Arsenal scarf in the 30C heat. The former British No 1, who grew up in London, reveals she used to do tennis training on the indoor pitch at Highbury. There\u2019s not too much tennis chat going on at the moment, but I can tell you Gauff is still a break down against Potapova, trailing 4-2.<\/p>\n
