Roland Garros 2019: Zverev and Del Potro in action on the third day – live! | sport

Juan Martin del Potro looks more stable now. The eighth seeded Suzanne-Lenglen after winning the second set 6-2. Nicolas Jarry could be led to regret his impertinence early.

Cameron Norrie is everywhere, immediately giving up his service at the beginning of the third set. Elliot Benchetrit should do it in time for lunch.

I told you that John Millman likes nonsense. The Australian paused early in the game against Alexander Zverev, but he trained the German in a battle at the bottom of the opening on Phillipe-Chatrier. Zverev served for the first set, but he is now 5-5 and may be heading for a tie.

Oh Cameron! It's not going to plan at all. The British hope had a torrid time at Court 7, where Frenchman Elliot Benchetrit leads 6-3, 6-0.

Fabio Fognini, who had the impression to make a good impression here this year, is at the helm of a 100% Italian business at the Simonne-Mathieu Court. The ninth seeded took the first set 6-3 against Andreas Seppi. Meanwhile, Juan Martin del Potro is repairing the wrongs done to Suzanne-Lenglen. It is imposed on Nicolas Jarry, but it separates in second period.

Ouch! Cameron Norrie has a shock. He left his service again. Elliot Benchetrit leads 6-3, 3-0.

Cameron Norrie does not have much fun on Court 7. Elliot Benchetrit resumed his spirits where he had stopped since the first set, breaking early to lead by a set and a break. The French qualifier plays brilliantly. Norrie is not.

A surprise for Suzanne-Lenglen, where Nicolas Jarry grabbed the first set 6-3 against Juan Martin del Potro. The eighth seed is in trouble. He gave Novak Djokovic an all-powerful fear in Rome earlier this month, but his thunderous game is still booming.

Daria Kasatkina won the first set 6-2 against Italian Jasmine Paolini. In the meantime, it seems that the rain is beginning to diminish. Umbrellas are stowed.

Cameron Norrie records a set point with a very short service return. I'm not sure that's what he meant, but it's enough to destabilize Elliot Benchetrit, who loses a second chance with a stray forehand. Devil. However, Benchetrit regains his concentration, wins a third chance and takes it when Norrie scores a forehand. The first set is that of Benchetrit, 6-3, and Norrie still has work to do against the world number 232.

Benchetrit escaped Norrie's pressure and scored a backhand from left to right to hold 5-2 on Court 7, where the locals took advantage of their morning play. Elsewhere, Alexander Zverev took control of the first set against John Millman on Phillipe-Chatrier. Nothing to see there, but much to see on Suzanne-Lenglen, where Juan Martin del Potro will serve in the first set of his match against Nicolas Jarry.

We talk about rain in Paris. The game could be suspended soon.

Bernard Tomic does not make a big impression against the American Taylor Fritz, who took the first set 6-1 on Court 14. Zzzz.

Failure? The two sweetest words of the English language. Cameron Norrie was certainly worried when he learned that Nick Kyrgios had retired from his first round match the other day. The absence of Kyrgios allowed Norrie to qualify for the second round, but the Briton fought very early against Frenchman Elliot Benchetrit, who broke in the fourth game of the first set.

Back in Philippe-Chatrier, the future world number one, Alexander Zverev, will face Australian John Millman, who defeated Roger Federer in New York last year. Zverev does not have the best seasons, you know, and this could be a tough test for the fifth seed. Millman likes nonsense. They are still in use at the beginning. On Suzanne-Lenglen, however, the eighth seed is a bit boring – Juan Martin del Potro is late for Chile's Nicolas Jarry.

Hello and welcome to the third day of the Open de France. I found myself stuck in the tube by going to the office, then my computer did not start. I found a new computer, though. My entry for the preamble of the year ends here.
