01:51See you tomorrow...
Time to say goodnight from Paris after another crazy day on the Roland-Garros clay when we saw defending champion Coco Gauff and sixth seed Amanda Anisimova fall in the women's singles and all kinds of mesmerising final set drama around the grounds across both draws.
The fourth round starts on Sunday with matches in the bottom halves of both draws so we've got four men's singles and four women's singles as well as doubles, mixed doubles and the junior events.
Rest up and we'll see you then.

Matteo Arnaldi after his five-set win on Saturday
00:41Felix wraps up Day 7
No.4 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime takes care of business in four sets to grab the last available spot in the men’s fourth round against Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo. FAA powered through the fourth-set tiebreak on Chatrier to beat Brandon Nakashima from a set down 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(4), 7-6(1) at gone midnight on Saturday.
00:21Big Foe fightback
Frances Tiafoe completes a remarkable turnaround from two sets down on Lenglen to beat Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria 4-6, 6-7(2), 7-6(4), 6-1, 6-2. It’s only the second time he’s won from two sets down at a major. The No.19 seed will be back to face Italian Matteo Arnaldi on Monday.
00:01Tiafoe into a fifth
This has been an incredible turnaround by Frances Tiafoe who’s raced through the fourth set 6-1 to force a decider against Jaime Faria - it’s the ninth match out of 16 third round men’s matches that's gone to a deciding set (and we could still get a 10th over on Chatrier). Crazy week.
23:35FAA a set away
Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime stays focused to take the third set tiebreak off Brandon Nakashima 7-4 to put himself two sets to one to the good and a little bit closer to a fourth round meeting with Chilean Alejandro Tabilo.
23:30Champions of Europe
Congrats to the neighbours PSG for their narrow victory in Budapest tonight...
23:35Tiafoe strikes to take the third
The Champagne is on ice for qualifier Jaime Faria for now as Frances Tiafoe plays a great third set tiebreak. The American cracks a forehand crosscourt winner to take the shootout 7-4 and Faria’s lead is cut to two sets to one.
On Chatrier it’s looking like we’ll need a third set tiebreak over there too to separate Felix Auger-Aliassime and Brandon Nakashima as their match clock ticks over two and a half hours.
23:10Faria-Tiafoe finely balanced
It was looking like Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria was about to wrap up a straight-sets win over Frances Tiafoe when he led by two sets to love and was serving at 4-3. The American breaks at the death to stay in the match. Let’s see where this one takes us over the next 20 minutes or so.
On Chatrier it’s a topsy-turvy affair between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Brandon Nakashima. It’s a set apiece and 4-4 in the big house.

22:50Women's last 16 complete
This evening’s win for Madison Keys brought women's third round matches to a close and here’s the full last 16 line-up ahead of Sunday.
[1] Sabalenka vs Osaka [16]
[19] Keys vs Shnaider [25]
[28] Potapova vs [22] Kalinskaya
Chwalinska vs Parry
[7] Svitolina vs Bencic [11]
[15] Kostyuk vs Swiatek [3]
[8] Andreeva vs Teichmann
[18] Cirstea vs Wang
22:04Nakashima, Faria in charge
That leaves two matches to finish late on Saturday. American Brandon Nakashima leads fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime by a set on Chatrier, while Portugal's qualifier Jaime Faria is ahead by two sets to love 6-4, 7-6(2) against Frances Tiafoe on Lenglen. Faria, remember, beat Grigor Dimitrov in a deciding tiebreak in the first round of qualifying during Opening Week after the Bulgarian had served for the match in the second and third sets.
21:59Arnaldi holds his nerve
Matteo Arnaldi makes it a very good day for Italy by joining Flavio Cobolli and Matteo Berrettini in the fourth round in Paris after denying Belgium's Raphael Collignon in yet another deciding tiebreak on Court 14.
The 25-year-old has previously appeared in the last 16 in New York but it will be the first time here at Roland-Garros after scrapping his way into the second week 6-4, 6-7(5), 5-7, 6-4, 7-6[10-4] in four hours and 58 minutes.
21:53Keys beats Mboko 6-3, 5-7, 7-5
Former RG semifinalist Madison Keys finally finishes the job against young Canadian Victoria Mboko after missing match points in the second set.
The American was ahead by a set and 4-1 and had two match points with No.9 seed Mboko serving at 4-5 before the second set slipped away.
The 2025 Australian Open champion raised her game when it really mattered though to book a fourth round spot against Diana Shnaider.
21:21Close matches everywhere
We've seen so many tight matches across both draws this week and another couple are developing as we head into Saturday evening.
As the night sky around Roland-Garros fills with celebratory fireworks as PSG are crowned champions of Europe in Budapest, Victoria Mboko has staged a spirited comeback to snatch the second set off Madison Keys 7-5 on Simonne-Mathieu. It's 2-2 in the third set.
And Matteo Arnaldi and Raphael Collignon are into a fifth on Court 14. It's the eighth fifth set in 16 men's third round matches which is an Open era record across all four slams.
20:53Time for the night session
Fourth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime and the USA's world No.35 Brandon Nakashima are on Court Philippe-Chatrier as the night match gets going.
Nakashima has never made it past the third round at RG, whereas FAA reached the last 16 in 2022 and 2024.
Keep checking back.

20:20Cerundolo survives six-hour epic
And as Potapova is leaving Chatrier we quickly pivot to Court 7 where the man who beat Jannik Sinner is marching into the last 16. Juan Manuel Cerundolo proves he’s the iron man of Roland-Garros after beating Martin Landaluce 6-4, 6-7(7), 7-6(4), 6-7(4), 7-6[10-8].
It took the world No.56 FIVE HOURS AND 58 MINUTES to get over the line, now easily the longest match of Roland-Garros 2026. Cerundolo plays Berrettini who saved two match points on his way to clinching his own deciding tiebreak against Francisco Comesana earlier.
20:10Potapova beats Gauff
Defending champion Coco Gauff is out of Roland-Garros after No.28 seed Anastasia Potapova outlasts the American 4-6, 7-6(1), 6-4 in 2 hours and 37 minutes on Chatrier.
The 25-year-old demonstrated incredible resilience through so many long, physical rallies in hot and humid conditions. It’s Potapova’s ninth top 10 win and she is back into the fourth round here after reaching the second week in 2024.
She plays Anna Kalinskaya on Monday.
19:57Tabilo holds his nerve
Guess what, more drama, this time from Lenglen where Alejandro Tabilo has broken the hearts of 10,000 Moise Kouame fans by beating the Paris teenager in four sets 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(9). What a conclusion though, the Chilean wrapping it up on his fifth match point in a crazy atmosphere to book a spot in the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time. He plays Auger-Aliassime or Nakashima next.
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt something like that before,” Tabilo says referring to the noise inside Lenglen. Kouame has been a breath of fresh air this week. Look out for him through the rest of the season and beyond.
19:35Saturday night roundup
There are still five singles matches on court at gone 7.30pm with Auger-Aliassime v Nakashima to come tonight from 8.15pm.
Coco has gone up an early break against Potapova on Chatrier, Kouame and Tabilo are deep into a fourth set on Lenglen where the atmosphere is absolutely electric.
Mboko and Keys are just starting on Simonne-Mathieu, Arnaldi and Collignon are midway through a third at one set all after over two and a half hours. And there’s nothing to separate Landaluce and Cerundolo on Court 7 after FIVE HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES.
Oh and PSG have just equalised against Arsenal in Budapest so that news is rippling around the grounds too.
19:21Coco under pressure
And these crazy long matches keep coming. This time it’s Coco Gauff and Anastasia Potapova who are going the distance after the No.28 seed races through a second-set tiebreak 7-1 against the defending champion. Potapova looked to have thrown her chance away when a 5-2 lead in that set vanished before she regrouped in time to dominate the breaker. This match is approaching the two-hour mark on a sticky evening in the French capital with temperatures around 33c.
18:55Matteo marathon man
Take a bow Matteo Berrettini who has just survived the longest match of the tournament to beat Argentina's Francisco Comesana in an extraordinary deciding tiebreak 15-13 after five hours and 13 minutes.
The Italian saved two match points in a final shootout that lasted well over 20 minutes to seal a 7-6(3), 5-7, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6[15-13] win inside a packed Simonne-Mathieu. Berrettini is through to the fourth round of a major for the first time since Wimbledon 2023.
The 30-year-old from Rome must now focus on recovery before playing Juan Manuel Cerundolo or Martin Landaluce on Monday. They're having their own marathon on Court 7. They’ve just gone into a fifth set after four hours and 45 minutes.
18:05Scores update
Defending champion Coco Gauff is having to use her athleticism to stay with Anastasia Potapova with the scores level at 4-4 in the first set on Chatrier. Lots of long rallies in that one so far.
Paris teenager Moise Kouame is a set all against Alejandro Tabilo after the Chilean took the second set 6-3 on Lenglen.
Matteo Berrettini and Francisco Comesana are well into a fifth set on Simonne-Mathieu, while another Italian Matteo Arnaldi is a set and a break in front against Belgium’s Raphael Collignon, who beat Ben Shelton in the previous round.
Last but not least, giant-killer Juan Manuel Cerundolo (the guy who took down Jannik Sinner in five) is in front two sets to one against Spain’s Martin Landaluce on Court 7.
17:54Next up - the night session on Chatrier
Coco Gauff and Anastasia Potapova are still in the first set of their third-round match on Court Philippe-Chatrier, but after that, No.4 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime will face the USA's Brandon Nakashima to seal the final spot in the last 16.
Night session action from 20:15.
17:30Junior draws are out
The Roland-Garros 2026 junior draws have been released and appropriately enough - after Joao Fonseca’s heroics yesterday - there’s a young Brazilian as No.1 seed in the boys’ singles.
Seventeen-year-old Guto Miguel leads the field and goes up against Japan’s Hyu Kawanishi in the first round. Miguel made his ATP debut as a wildcard at the Rio ATP 500 event in February.
The girls’ draw has French teenager Ksenia Efremova as the top seed. Also 17, she won this year's Australian Open junior title and played the main draw of the women’s singles and doubles here, losing to Sorana Cirstea in the first round 6-3, 6-1.
➡️ Boys’ singles draw
➡️ Girls’ singles draw
➡️ Boys’ doubles draw
➡️ Girls’ doubles draw

17:05Parry beats sixth seed
French world No.92 Diane Parry is carried over the finish line by a 15,000-strong Chatrier crowd as she beats No.6 seed Amanda Anisimova for the biggest win of her career 6-3, 4-6, 7-6[10-3].
The 23-year-old from Nice has earned a great opportunity to go further in Paris as her next opponent is Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska in the last 16. It's the first time she's reached the fourth round at a Grand Slam.
Equally huge cheers are coming from Lenglen where Paris teenager Moise Koaume is under way against Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo. The 17-year-old is serving for the first set.
16:63Deciding tiebreak on Chatrier
The volume rises inside the main stadium as French hope Diane Parry forces a deciding tiebreak against American No.6 seed Amanda Anisimova. French fans hold their breath... follow it live below.
16:40Kalinskaya finishes strong
No.22 seed Anna Kalinskaya stays in the conversation in the women’s draw as she hits back from losing the second set 6-0 to beat Colombia’s Camila Osorio 6-3, 0-6, 6-2. The 27-year-old reaches the last 16 at a major for the third time where she will play Coco Gauff or Anastasia Potapova.
15:53A century for Sabalenka 💯
With her 6-0, 7-5 win over Daria Kasatkina, Aryna Sabalenka has claimed her 100th win as world No.1 - and is only the ninth player to reach this number since the WTA rankings were published.
"That gives me goosebumps," the No.1 seed said, about making the milestone.
Sabalenka will now face Naomi Osaka in the last 16.
15:25Football flavour
If you’re watching the RG coverage and you notice loads of the locals in the stands wearing football shirts today that’s because the big team here in the French capital - Paris Saint-Germain - are in action in the final of the Champions League tonight. PSG are our neighbours here - their Parc des Princes stadium is a five-minute walk from the tennis courts. They face Arsenal tonight at 6pm local time in Budapest. Paris teenager Moise Kouame (he plays Alejandro Tabilo later) was on trend during practice earlier.
15:00Parry causing problems
There are five singles matches on court at the moment. The locals are getting very excited as Diane Parry takes the first set off No.6 seed Amanda Anisimova 6-3 on Chatrier. There's an upset brewing over there.
Aryna Sabalenka's bagel factory is open for business as she wins the first set 6-0 against Daria Kasatkina. Matteo Berrettini leads Francisco Comesana by a set and the Kalinskaya-Osorio and Juan Manuel Cerundolo-Landaluce contests are in the early stages on courts 14 and 7 respectively. Listen with the radio team and keep an eye on live scores...
14:35No stopping Svajda
American Zach Svajda is another player having a memorable and significant stay in the French capital and is the latest surprise name into the second week. The 23-year-old world No.85 from California won the first five-set match of his career on Saturday when he recovered to beat Argentina’s Fran Cerundolo 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3 on Court 14. It’s Svajda’s RG debut and his best Grand Slam run so far. He plays No.10 seed Flavio Cobolli on Monday. After three wins on the red clay Svajda will go to a new career-high ranking inside the top 60.
14:14Osaka outlasts Jovic
Japan’s 16th seed Naomi Osaka wins an incredible battle with American 18-year-old Iva Jovic on Lenglen 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-4. The former world No.1 scrambles home in just under three hours to make the fourth round in Paris for the first time. She could play top seed Aryna Sabalenka on Monday.
14:09Shnaider another into second week
Diana Shnaider is the next player into the fourth round after a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Ukraine’s Oleksandra Oliynykova on Court 7. She gets Victoria Mboko or Madison Keys in the last 16.
14:07Cobolli into last 16
Italy's Flavio Cobolli is through the second week at Roland-Garros for the first time after a dominant, and swift, encounter on Court Philippe-Chatrier where he dispatched the USA's Learner Tien in straight sets in just one hour and 46 minutes.
Cobolli will now face either No.25 seed Francisco Cerundolo or the USA's Zach Svajda, who are into a fifth set over on Court 14.
13:30Qualifier Chwalinska beats Sakkari
Poland’s world No.114 Maja Chwalinska hits back to beat Greek former semifinalist Maria Sakkari 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 on Simonne-Mathieu to book a spot in the last 16.
It’s the first time since 2020 there are two qualifiers in the fourth round of the women’s singles as Chwalinska joins China's Wang Xiyu who won yesterday.
Chwalinska is only the third Polish woman to reach this stage in Paris, joining Iga Siwatek and Agnieszka Radwanska in the record books. She plays Diane Parry or Amanda Anisimova on Monday.
"I don’t know what’s going on to be honest," she said on court. "I’m very overwhelmed. It didn’t look good after the first set but I didn’t want to leave without fighting."

13:07Sunday schedule is out
Talking of Iga Swiatek and Jill Teichmann, both are on the Day 8 order of play which has just been released. There are eight singles matches tomorrow - four men's and four women's - as the fourth round gets under way.
It's Joao Fonseca and Casper Ruud who get the Sunday night slot on Chatrier. Iga opens the main court against Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk with Elina Svitolina vs Belinda Bencic and then the Alexander Zverev-Jesper de Jong meetings filling the day session. It's expected to be much cooler tomorrow as the heat wave breaks.
12:57Getting ready for round four
Up in my favourite corner of RG (I call it the top end of the ’cheese wedge’ of the grounds here) four-time champ Iga Swiatek and next door Jill Teichmann are putting in some work ahead of fourth round matches on Sunday on practice courts 15 and 16. Iga is fine-tuning her lateral movement while JT is pummelling forehands, the shot that was so effective yesterday when she shocked No.10 seed Karolina Muchova in straight sets. Weaving my way back to Blog HQ I pass Swedish three-time RG champion Mats Wilander emerging from the TV compound into bright sunshine. Famous faces everywhere here in Paris.
12:37Chatrier is in play and Cobolli is on fire 🔥
No.10 seed Flavio Cobolli has just taken the first set on Court Philippe-Chatrier against eighteenth seeded Learner Tien after just 28 minutes.
The Italian, who made the quarterfinals at Wimbledon last year, is bidding for a first trip to the second week at Roland-Garros.
12:31First set to Osaka
After more than an hour, the first set is resolved on Court Suzanne-Lenglen as Naomi Osaka takes it with a tiebreak, her third of RG2026 - the most of anyone in the women's singles draw.
Eighteen-year-old Iva Jovic, a quarterfinalist in Melbourne this year, had never reached the third round in any of the other three Grand Slams before this year's RG.
12:12Another fantastic Friday at Roland-Garros
There was drama, there were surprises and there was a lot of action around the grounds on Friday. Here are some of the stories we brought to you from Day 6.
Dan Imhoff was in for a lengthy spell as young Spaniard Rafael Jodar weathered the heat over five sets on Court Simonne-Mathieu to dispatch the USA’s Alex Michelsen. Dan then wrote this profile of American teenager Iva Jovic, who has taken inspiration from her idol Novak Djokovic, and is currently on court against Naomi Osaka.
Chris Oddo watched on Chatrier as Iga Swiatek moved through her third round all-Polish clash against Magda Linette. Alex Sharp then replaced Chris on the main show court as last year’s quarterfinalist Mirra Andreeva got the better of Marie Bouzkova. Alex then handed his seat back to Chris and headed to Suzanne-Lenglen, where Casper Ruud battled back from the brink to beat Tommy Paul in a dramatic four hours and 43 minutes.
Back on Chatrier, Chris settled in for what was always going to be a treat. Teenager Joao Fonseca took on 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic - and it didn’t disappoint.
Victoria Chiesa escaped momentarily from her night-match duties and wrote this piece looking at how Ukraine’s women have been an a roll at RG this year - in often very difficult circumstances. She then watched as Alexander Zverev moved past France’s Quentin Halys under the lights in the evening session.
Lee Goodall wrapped it all up in the small hours of Saturday - that bed in Blog HQ is looking more and more like a good idea.
11:51Speedy start
The USA's Zachary Svajda, playing in his first Roland-Garros main draw, has taken the first set 6-3 on Court 14 against No.25 seed Francisco Cerundolo.
Over on Court Simonne-Mathieu, Maria Sakkari isn't hanging around either and has notched up the first set 6-1 against Poland's Maja Chwalinksa.
➡️ Live scores
11:15Naomi's on court
Style icon Naomi Osaka walks on to Court Suzanne-Lenglen to meet 18-year-old Iva Jovic. No.16 seed and four-time Grand Slam winner Osaka is aiming to get to the fourth round of Roland-Garros for the first time in her career.
11:00It’s le weekend!
And it's the last day of the first week here at Roland-Garros. The third round concludes today and we’ll know the line-up for the last-16 matches in the men’s and women’s draw.
Among the women fighting for those places are No.1 seed Aryna Sabalenka, who is up second on Suzanne-Lenglen facing Daria Kasatkina. They follow Naomi Osaka and Iva Jovic who get that court started at 11:00.
Among the men on court today are both Cerundolo brothers. No.25 seed Francisco opens on Court 14 against the USA’s Zachary Svajda, while the younger Juan Manuel, who came from two sets down to defeat a struggling Jannik Sinner on Thursday now meets Martin Landaluce, who has come through two five setters already - they’re on Court 7.
➡️ Live scores
Chatrier gets underway at 12:00 as tenth seeded Flavio Cobolli meets the young American Learner Tien, seeded 18. Other Chatrier appearances include Coco Gauff, who meets Anastasia Potapova, before the night session, where two North Americans face off: Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime meets the USA’s Brandon Nakashima to secure that last place in the second week.
Other players in action include Australian Open champion Madison Keys, who meets Victoria Mboko, and exciting French teenager Moise Kouame, who came through the longest match of the tournament so far on Thursday and now faces Chile's Alejandro Tabilo.
