Novak Djokovic stars on day three of the French Open following Rafael Nadal’s dramatic first-round defeat to Alexander Zverev on Monday.
The defeat for the 14-time champion could spell the end of his time at Roland Garros and Nadal will now decide on his plan for the summer, with Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics on the agenda.
Djokovic, meanwhile, begins his bid for a 25th grand slam and faces French wildcard Pierre-Hugues Herbert tonight.
Elsewhere, there is British interest with Katie Boulter and Dan Evans in action in what promises to be a fascinating day in Paris.
Follow all the latest tennis scores and results from Day 3 at Roland Garros below, plus the latest reaction to Nadal’s potential French Open farewell:

Katie Boulter in a hell of a battle on Court 9.
She was a set and a break up but Paula Badosa is not giving up yet! It’s currently 6-5 to the Spaniard, on serve in the second set.

Djokovic takes the second set, 7-6(3)!
A huge roar from Djokovic as he goes 5-1 up at the change of ends, winning a gruelling point and as Herbert chips into the net, the world No 1 is two sets to love to the good!

They’re deep in the second set on Chatrier now, with Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-5 up on serve.
On Court 9, Katie Boulter has come back from 4-2 down to win the first set against Paula Badosa, 6-4.
Last Brit standing – can the British No 1 get through on her first French Open appearance?

Loose game from the Serb and with a forehand into the net, they’re all-square again at one each in the second set.

French Open LIVE
Novak Djokovic wins the first set on Philippe-Chatrier, taking it 6-4 against Pierre-Hugues Herbert, and has broken his French wild card in the first game of the second set.
The world No 1 in a hurry under the lights…

Dan Evans is out of the French Open!
The Brit falls 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 and didn’t win another game after that confrontation with the chair umpire.
Unfortunately, that’s five losses from five British players. Katie Boulter is the last one standing and has a tricky match against Paula Badosa, they’ve just gone on Court 9.

French Open LIVE
Dan Evans deep in conversation with chair umpire Jaume Campistol, and he’s not very happy!
“I know I have a point, you have a duty to keep the match flowing.” He’s angry about Rune contesting a line-call and getting a call in his favour.
The Brit did break for the first time, but has now been broken back. 4-4 in the third set.

French Open LIVE
While Evans is two sets down (6-4 6-4) against Holger Rune on Suzanne Lenglen, Novak Djokovic is already up a break in the night match on Philippe-Chatrier.
The world No 1 is up against French wild card Pierre-Hugues Herbert in round one.

Brilliant from Rune. Evans has the chance to break serve with the second set sitting at 5-4 but the Dane pings an ace down the centre line to draw level at deuce.
He then sweeps the next two points and holds serve to win the set.
Rune leads two sets to love now and it’s looking bleak for the Brit.
