Kartal v Bouzkova 1st on court 11 (10:00am U.K time) Norrie v Gomez 3rd on court 13 Boulter v Keys 3rd on Phillipe-Chatrier Fearnley v Humbert 4th on Simonne-Mathieu Draper v Monfils 4th on Phillipe-Chatrier (not before 7:15pm U.K time)
Swiatek looked awesome,no disgrace to get beaten by someone that good,although many of the games where very close.I am by no means a tennis coach,but I think Emma sometimes is very slow getting into her hitting position,several times yesterday,balls where hit straight at her and she really could do nothing other than just lob them back. Looking forward to Draper v Montfiels tonight should be a cracker.

agreed. Laura Robson courtside yesterday said the most impressive thing about Swiatek was her impeccable footwork.
Was a great match to watch. Not usual to get such a brilliant match in only the second round. what a great guy Monfils is - great sportsmanship at the end too

Well that was a cracker of a match,if only the sporting world had more people like Montfils,what a happy place it would be.

Both him and the retiring Gasquet have been really good to watch down the years.
Draper will not only have the highly rated 18 year old to contend with but the passionate Brazilian crowd that idolise and turn up in great numbers to watch him. Estimated starting time is 13.30.
Norris v Fearnley for a place in the last 16 would've been unthinkable Six months ago when Norris was dropping down the rankings faster than a skydiver and Fearnley was trying to break the top 100 ! On same court after Draper.

Oh to play a player ranked 144 in the 2nd round not the defending champion - yeah, I know he beat Medvedev in the first round!
Norrie through in straight sets.
Sets up Norrie v Fearnley in round 3.
Monfils is about 52 now though isn't he? Surely he'll fade.

But 4-2 down in 4th.
