Saturday saw rain fall steadily at Roland Garros but the sun is now out and everyone is happy to be enjoying their tennis fix.
The crowds are large and bustling, and there is a real sense of anticipation in the air - and perhaps also a whiff of emotion to it, certainly for the Scots among the spectators.
Those lucky enough to be in attendance on Suzanne Lenglen court when Andy Murray and Dan Evans face Japan pair Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel could be witnessing a moment in history and possibly the end of an era.
Murray has confirmed this will be his last competition, and a defeat in the French sunshine would bring the curtain down on a remarkable career.
The Scot has won Grand Slam titles, Olympic golds and multiple other titles - as well as defying the odds to overcome a hip injury that would have defeated mere mortals.
Should Sunday evening represent the final chapter, there will be a few people wiping the tears away as the sport says goodbye to one of its finest ambassadors.
