23:11 CET - In a contest full of some spectacular shotmaking, Carlos Alcaraz (21) defeated Sebastian Korda (23) 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-3 to progress through to the round of 16. Frenchman Corentin Moutet (25) also delighted the home crowd, battling back to beat Sebastian Ofner (28) 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 in an utterly electric atmosphere.

20:08 CET - Ninth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas (25) was in no mood to hang about today, sweeping aside Zhizhen Zhang (27) 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 in just 94 minutes. 

18:41 CET - World number one and hot favourite for the French Open title Iga Swiatek (23) has cruised into the last 16 with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Marie Bouzkova (25).

17:43 CET - As play is back underway on the outside courts, women's matches are coming to a close. Clara Tauson (21) has just booked her place in the fourth round with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Sofia Kenin (25).

17:40 CET - Fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova (24) was in fine form this afternoon as she dispatched Chloe Paquet (29) 6-1, 6-3 to knock the French player out of her home tournament.
