Roland Garros 2019: Djokovic and Serena Williams in action, Edmund withdraws, Osaka wins – live! | sport

Williams could have been angry by conceding an ace, then moved to a 30-0 lead, then forced Nara to move on the field, pushing the winner into an empty corner of the field. Williams allows Nara to return to the game with a few unforced errors, but she ends up taking the loot after a staggering recovery. Williams leads 3-2.

Nara is not a big woman at 5ft1 but that has no impact on her at the moment, as she tries to push Williams around the field. Williams returns to a second service for a long time, giving a lead of 40 to 15 in qualifying. Complete the victory with an ace! He looks rather calm, but Williams does not approach him. The score is 2-2.

Serena Williams is against Nara and is about to become the center of this live blog. Williams is holding his second service game to love. Williams leads 2-1, as things go with serve.

I'm not sure that Zverev is giving up much because he's trying to do the job with as little noise as possible. He just wants it to be finished without wasting too much energy using a lot of energy, taking the game to love. Zverev leads 6-1, 4-1.

Zverev hit a backhand on the court, but he landed wide to give Ymer a 30-0 lead. The advantage is quickly eliminated thanks to some powerful shots of the great German and he manages to pierce Ymer with a magnificent shot forward on the line. Zverev leads 6-1, 3-1.

Zverev tries to do the service and the volley, which is new. An ace then takes it in a 30-15 lead, ending the match with a big shot behind the baseline, forcing Ymer to hit the goal. Zverev leads 6-1, 2-1.

Ymer shows flashes of what he can do after an unconvincing first set but he starts the second match of the set with a powerful winner beyond the forehand of Zverev. It is then executed thanks to a clever job of the German who plays an intelligent chip just above the net, which leads him to claim the point. Ymer just can not cope with the sharpness of Zverev, but an error of the most experienced player puts the game tied, that Ymer wins with relative relative ease. All levels in the second. Zverev leads 6-1, 1-1.

Zverev double faults in the first match of the second set but nothing can stop him because he is able to hold his service with thunderclaps. Zverev leads 6-1, 1-0.

Good afternoon! Zverev is certainly looking for the right shot, taking the first set 6-1 against Ymer.

I will take a short break. Will Unwin will take you through the next hour or two.

But Osaka finally managed to convert his third match point when Azarenka managed a long forehand. A great win for the world No. 1, which outpaced the former No. 1 of a set and a break at one point. She entered the third round after a comeback.

Naomi Osaka, who serves for the match for the second time, has just seen two match points come and go. Victoria Azarenka threatens to turn this into an ordeal …

A dazzling victory for a delighted Ashleigh Barty – the excellent Australian beat American Danielle Collins 7-5, 6-1 to reach the third round.

A minor surprise is set on court 14, where Italian qualifier Salvatore Caruso leads by two sets against the 26th favorite, Gilles Simon. And in a battle between two Argentines, Leonardo Mayer is getting closer to a four-set victory over Diego Schwartzman.

Naomi Osaka will have to wait a little longer. Serving the match at 5-1 in the third set, she is broken by a defiant Victoria Azarenka. Osaka should win again. On field 1, Ashleigh Barty, the eighth seed, leads Danielle Collins 7-5, 3-1.

A shot on goal brings Bublik forward and the Kazakh can only dab his riposte to the net. Thiem will face Pablo Cuevas, winner of Kyle Edmund earlier.

Naomi Osaka shoots her fist. She has two break points in the fourth game of the third set. Victoria Azarenka is under pressure and Osaka comes out with the killer shot, a forehand that leaves his opponent stuck on the bottom line. Osaka leads 4-6, 7-5, 3-1.

Dominic Thiem prepares a meal, but has just taken a break when Alexander Bublik served for the fourth set. It's not very nice for Thiem, though. He should take part in this type of match and not spend too much time in the field the first week.

I told you that he would go to three sets. A perfect reverse on the starting line of Naomi Osaka is enough for him to grab the second set 7-5. Victoria Azarenka is going to kick herself. She had the chance to win a set and two interruptions, but she will have to work extremely hard to stop the Japanese now.

Here is this semblance of order on Philippe-Chatrier. Alexander Bublik is a break in the fourth set against Dominic Thiem, who risks being dragged into a fifth by the Kazakh artist.

The British No1 tournament is coming to an end. After a brief discussion with the coach, he decides that he can not continue. How long did this long game against Jeremy Chardy eliminate? The premature exit of Edmund means that Jo Konta is the last Briton to present himself in Paris. Can anyone give Andy Murray a bionic hip?

Kyle Edmund called the coach on Court 6. More on Philippe-Chartrier Dominic Thiem has restored some order against Alexander Bublik. The fourth seed leads 6-3, 6-7, 6-3.

Naomi Osaka: She never knows when she will be beaten. She was almost one set and two breaks for Victoria Azarenka, but she managed to get the second set on Suzanne-Lenglen. It's fascinating.

Kyle Edmund clears quickly. Paolo Cuevas easily set up a two-set lead on the No. 1 British, leading 7-6 and 6-3.

Kyle Edmund, a man of gentle manners, is furious with Court 6. He is mainly furious with himself and the lack of movement of his legs. He marvels when he returns to his chair after giving up his service to love. It was an appalling service game of the British No. 1 and he was hanging out Paolo Cuevas by a game and a break.

Dominic Thiem was trained in the game with Alexander Bublik, who won a tie in second set 8-6 over Philippe-Chatrier. Thiem will have to spend more time on the ground than he would have liked.

That's all for Aryna Sabalenka, beaten 6-4, 6-2 by a very impressive Amanda Anisimova. Sabalenka, 11th seeded, was finally defeated by his 17-year-old US opponent. Anisimova really seems to have something special. She reached the fourth round at the Australian Open in January and seems to have the number Sabalenka, who beat her 6-3 and 6-2 in Melbourne.

Victoria Azarenka is getting closer to victory. Having saved these breaking points, one inevitably feels preoccupied with the aftermath of events. She scores a break point in the next game and wins 6-4, 3-2 thanks to a smart volley. Naomi Osaka needs another miracle.

Naomi Osaka looks irritated. She was 0-40 in the service of Victoria Azarenka, but she could not capitalize. Azarenka owns and leads 6-4, 2-2 on Suzanne-Lenglen. Elsewhere, Amanda Anismova is well on her way to knocking out Aryna Sabalenka, while Katerina Siniokova takes the first run of the 29th seed, Maria Sakkari, on Court 7.

Iga Swiatek won the Wimbledon Juniors last year. A year later, she participated in the third round of the French Open. She also won the doubles at Roland Garros last year. The 17-year-old seems to have a bright future.

Iga Swiatek eliminated 16th seed, Qiang Wang. The 17-year-old Pole won 6-3, 6-0. Categorical.

Alexander Bublik served for the second set on Philippe-Chatrier, but Dominic Thiem paused and now serves at 6-3, 4-5. Thiem offered very good tennis, including an excellent pitch to confuse Bublik while the Kazakh took the lead 30-15.

He forced a dam, he lost a dam. Kyle Edmund's forehand lets him down several times. That's enough for Paolo Cuevas to take the first set tied on Court 6. It is hard to argue that the Uruguayan does not deserve his lead.

Kyle Edmund forced Paolo Cuevas to take a break. Edmund struggles hard, but we have the feeling that the Uruguayan still has the advantage. What a boost for Edmund to grasp this.

Naomi Osaka is good at stopping a point and holding in the first match of the second set against Victoria Azarenka. I imagine that this one goes to three series.

Alexander Bublik, who has already stuck in a sneaky service, now poses some problems to Dominic Thiem. Having lost the first set, he bursts against the fourth seed in the second.

But the first set goes to Victoria Azarenka, who shakes her fist as she returns to her chair. Solid service was enough to lead No. 1 to win 6-4, leaving Osaka plenty to do to get back into it. Elsewhere, Amanda Anismova played against Aryna Sabalenka. The unseasoned American fought back after a defeat to win the first set 6-4, which means the 11th seed is really pestered on Court 1.

Naomi Osaka is the player who never knows when she will be beaten. Victoria Azarenka, surprised for the first game at 5-2, was surprised by Osaka's coming to the heat and canceled one of those breaks. Now, Osaka threatens to make Azarenka sweat.

Kyle Edmund defeated Paolo Cuevas on court 6. But the Uruguayan still insists on Edmund's service. This is a difficult test for the British No.1.

We have our first complete series of the day. More than Chatrier, Dominic Thiem seems calm and composed against Alexander Bublik, taking the score to 6-3 against the Kazakh.

Naomi Osaka enters the painting. There will be no bagel first set this time. But she still stays on Azarenka with two breaks. Elsewhere, 11th seed Aryna Sabalenka is up against Amanda Anismova.

Kyle Edmund falters against Paolo Cuevas, who leads by a break earlier. Cuevas knows his way around the clay. Meanwhile, Victoria Azarenka is leading Naomi Osaka on Suzanne-Lenglen. She only left and broke again, this time with a great shot on goal. Azarenka leads 3-0. Osaka lost the first set 6-0 against Schmiedlova on Tuesday. Could she be on her way to another bagel?

A quick start to Victoria Azarenka and a scratch of Naomi Osaka, who leaves the service in the first game of the match, too many mistakes conspiring against her. Meanwhile on Chatrier, Dominic Thiem will also play an earlier break against Alexander Bublik.

The No. 1 Briton, Kyle Edmund, is also about to take on Uruguayan Paolo Cuevas, a difficult proposition on clay. Cuevas has won 19 games on clay since the Miami Open. It will not be easy for Edmund, who ended a series of worrying defeats when he beat Jeremy Chardy in the first round.

Hello. We start with a match on Suzanne-Lenglen today. The current world No. 1 faces the player who used to sit on the throne. Naomi Osaka may not be the queen of tennis yet – not until Serena Williams, who will later face Japanese Kurumi Nara, is still here – but the wonderfully idiosyncratic Japanese girl has already imposed herself like tennis royalty after his victories at the Australian Open the US Open.

It's rare to see the Grand Slam triumphs saved in women's play lately, but Osaka has done so and desperately needs a double here. To keep this dream alive, she will have to be better than she was against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova on Tuesday. Osaka has long cracked for Schmiedlova, who has served twice for the match, and it remains to be seen how fit she is after a hand injury that disrupted her preparations for the tournament. Victoria Azarenka, two-time champion of the Australian Open, will be eager to find out.

This match is the subject of the first discussion, but there are many other things to keep us busy. Defending champion Simona Halep will face Magda Linette later. Among the players, there will be Novak Djokovic against Henri Laaksonen, Dominic Thiem against Alexander Bublik, Juan Martin del Potro against Yoshihito Nishioka and Alexander Zverev against Mikael Ymer, 20 Swedes, one year old, won his first match of all the time during a Grand Slam when he beat Blaz Rola on Tuesday.

Everything starts at 10am and 11am in Paris.
