Righto, that’s us done for today. Thanks all for your company, and we’ll be back tomorrow for more love and joy – join Katy Murrells for a bit of Sinner v Gaston, Osaka v Ruzic, Boulter v Bencic and Mochizuki v Tstisipas, with hopefully some Dimitrov v Machac thrown in. Peace.
Muller, who turned around a fifth-set break, says it was easy as Popyrin served really well. He tried to concentrate and play his own game but the crowd were against him so it wasn’t easy. on the other hand, he enjoys it as in France, the crowd being for you can bring more pressure.
He had some cramps that gave him grief during the last hour, so will have to try and recover, but he’ll come to the next match with a plan and see how it goes.
