Follow live updates from the French Open as the third round gets underway on another packed day at Roland Garros. Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic remain on a collision course and are still yet to drop a set as they both secured safe passage to the fourth round. Djokovic was on imperious form as he dismissed Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 before Nadal claimed he played his “best match” of the tournament so far in defeating Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
Elsewhere, Coco Gauff continued her impressive form as the American dismissed Kaia Kanepi 6-3, 6-4. The 18-year-old is looking to take advantage of an open bottom half of the bracket, as is the US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez after she battled past Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 on Philippe Chatrier. Former world No. 1 Angelique Kerber saw her career grand slam hopes come to an end for another year at the hands of Aliaksandra Sasnovich, who defeated Emma Raducanu on Wednesday.
