...and Dmitry Tursunov faces down all three to take us to deuce.

Stand down. For the time being anyway.

Roger Federer opens up a 0-40 lead and three set points....

Meanwhile over on Suzanne Lenglen, Novak Djokovic has chiselled another break of serve from Marin Cilic. He will serve for the set next.

"Federer just looks good. He's playing within himself. He's doing enough to stay ahead. When he's been asked the questions he's come up with the goods."

We are going deep in the second set. Roger Federer loses the opening point of the 11th game, but battles back to ensure Dmitry Tursunov will need to take the set off him via a tie-break.

Forty-five minutes on the clock for the set so far.

Over on Court One, Carla Suarez Navarro is not being put to too much trouble by American young gun Taylor Townsend.

The Spaniard leads 6-2 2-2.

Even if she goes out here it has been an impressive campaign from Townsend. Her win over France's Alize Cornet in the second round prompted Andy Murray to tweet, "How good is Taylor Townsend! #talent.''

She answered that question herself in her post second-round press conference.

"Well, I don't want to sound conceited and everything. But, I mean, I'm pretty darn good, I guess," she said.

Fair enough.

Dmitry Tursunov with 15-30 on the Roger Federer serve. Is this is his big chance to wrestle the match back into the balance? If it is, it quickly goes down the swanny.

There is a bit of frame in the forehand that loops long over the baseline from the Russian and then Federer defends stoutly to win the final point.

Novak Djokovic is taking control out on Suzanne Lenglen. The Serb takes a game against the head and Marin Cilic is a break behind.

It took some fiddling with the dials but his usual game is coming through pretty clearly now.

Dmitry Tursunov stretches Roger Federer out wide on the forehand as he grinds his way through another service game.

Mirka is looking on. She is wearing celebrity standard-issue big shades so I would be lying if I said there was a hint of concern in her eyes. But she is definitely taking a close interest.

Another Briton bowed out of the French Open as 28-year-old Dominic Inglot and his Filipino partner Treat Huey were beaten 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (8-6) by Croat Mate Pavic and 37-year-old Brazilian Andre Sa in the second round of the men's doubles competition.

"Tursunov's got firepower from the back of the court. He's got strong groundstrokes and a big serve."

I'm not sure if Roger Federer would be up for partaking of either of the first two with him, but Tursunov is doing a decent job of getting right up in the world number four's grill.

Striking the ball solidly from behind the baseline, he is giving Federer the hurry-up, denying him the chance to stroke the ball into the corners.

The second set is on serve with Tursunov serving at 3-2 down.

Job done. Novak Djokovic has put a lid on a first set that threatened to boil over. He is back on his stool and the 6-3 scoreline hides a fair bit of below-par play from the second seed.

Novak Djokovic has almost completed the turnaround on this tanker of a first set.

After building a 0-40 lead on Marin Cilic's serve, he allows him to work back to 30-40 before finally nailing the break.

He serves for the set next...

Piers Newbery

"Maybe it's the heat. After a chilly start to the tournament, the temperature has soared to a tropical 21C today and the big names clearly can't cope. Following third seed Radwanska's earlier defeat, a now familiar murmur begins to grow around the media area as attention switches to Court Suzanne Lenglen. Maybe Djokovic forgot his sunblock but he looks out of sorts so far, slipping a break down to Cilic early on. Although he's back on track now, one Cilic winner that whistles past him sees the Serb scream furiously at the sky."

Cards-on-the-table time. The French Open is as open as it has been for years in both singles draws. Who are your winners?

There is one other singles match in progress away from the main two courts.

Spanish 14th seed Carla Suarez Navarro is enjoying the best of it so far, leading American Taylor Townsend 4-0 with just 11 minutes on the clock.

Novak Djokovic has re-established parity against Marin Cilic, but the second seed is not having it all his own way by a long way.

He is currently bogged down in a right old battle on deuce on his own serve.

Dmitry Tursunov hesitates for a moment and Roger Federer swoops in steal the break and the set.

The Russian chased gamely at 15-30 down, but his defensive lob floated wide as he tried to buy time to get back in the rally. On the next point he prodded a nothing forehand a little long to prompted a clenched fist of celebration from Federer.
