Time to sign off, I’ll leave you with Tumaini Carayol’s report from Roland-Garros. Au revoir.

Jack Draper’s exit means that British interest in the French Open singles is over. Look, we made it into the second week, didn’t we? Draper came up against an opponent playing some unbelievable stuff today, but in that final service game, there were moments he passed up to stay in the game.

Those are the kind of chances that the very best players take – and it could have swung the game back in his favour. Not to be too harsh on Draper, who is still fairly new to the grand slam game. It’s just something he might need to learn if he wants to reach the very top of the rankings, and win the biggest prizes.
