    Then drops his serve to love next game. Norrie will serve for it again at 6-5.

    Norrie wins 6-3 7-6 6-2. Match point brings a double fault from Fearnley who played a match littered with unforced errors

    Norrie back in the top 60 in the rankings. Could play Djokovic again in the next round.

    Fearnley is normally a very consistent player since his rise from 600+ down to the top 50 in a little over a year but wasn't at his best.

    Norrie dropped from the top 10 down to 80 but has suddenly found his Mojo again and after beating Medvedev is looking back to his competitive best and always looked the winner yesterday against an out of salts Jacob Fearnley who has had a great year.

    First time Norrie has reached the 4th round at the French Open and the first time since 1963 we have two Brits in the last 16.

    Will be tough for Norrie against Djokovic but he played well against him in Geneva.

    Bublik wins the third set against Draper. Uh oh.
  • soapboxsam

    Jack being beaten up by Bublik who has his A+ game.
    and unless the Kazan born in Russia weakens it looks like Draper's going to lose in 4 sets.

    This is more that Bublik is playing brilliantly than Jack playing poorly. Jack trying to hang on in there.

    Draper beaten in four sets by Bublik.

    Bublik was unplayable,come on nigh on 30 drop shot winners that Draper could do nothing about.When Draper got closer ,he was blitzed with passing shots.Dont know if Bublik can play as well as this again,but if he does,he can win this.

    Story of the tournament looks to be in the women’s draw. 

    French wildcard Lois Boisson is in the semi final at her first Grand Slam having beaten 3rd seed Pegula and 6th seed Andreeva. She’s playing 2nd seed Coco Gauff in the semi final tomorrow.

    She entered the tournament outside the world’s top 150 and has risen almost 100 places in the live rankings, becoming the French no. 1 woman in the process.

    Salisbury and Skupski lost the Mens Double final in 3 sets.

    16 year old Hannah Klugman reached the final of the Junior Girls but also lost. Only had limited experience on Clay prior to the tournament so did very well to reach the final.

    Best match since Federer v Nadal at Wimbledon in 2008.
