As 2018 Roland Garros finalist Sloane Stephens wraps up her day with an easy 6-2 6-2 win over Vitalia Diatchenko, so will I. Thanks all for following and we will be back tomorrow.
A summary of today’s play: 6.21pm BST
Quite an incredible effort from Andrey Rublev to recover from two sets down and 5-2 in the third set, beating Sam Querrey 6-7(5) 6-7(4) 7-5 6-4 6-3 to move on. He hit two unforced errors in the fifth set.
This is his first career recovery from two sets down and he can’t believe it. After collapsing to the ground, he is now sitting in his chair with his head in his hands. Two days ago, he was travelling to
Paris after winning in Hamburg and he had so little time to adjust to these conditions. That was an impressive demonstration of his mental fortitude.
