That is done for today.
We will have full radio and text coverage of Andy Murray's meeting with Australian young gun Nick Kyrgios on Saturday.
Should be a cracker. See you there.
The French Open is the only Grand Slam where the television cameras can follow the players all the way back into the locker room.
You get some interesting insights. As well as Andy Murray deep in conference with Amelie Mauresmo in the wake of his win, we also get to see Serena Williams giving coach Patrick Mouratoglou a rather frosty reception after she struggled past Anna-Lena Friedsam.
The facilities at Roland Garros look more like the set of the Brittas Empire than the exclusive country club feel you might expect.
Is that an recognised tartan that Fabrice Santoro was rocking?
It looks a little more picnic rug than Black Watch to me.
Match stats you say? Go on then.
There is plenty of Mauresmo and Murray to get their teeth into there.
Murray- Sousa
Aces: 4-2
1st serve%: 57-62
% pts won on 1st serve: 82-66

"Murray leaves the court and is immediately in seemingly deep and thoughtful conversation with coach Mauresmo in the waiting area.
"Those with designs of winning Grand Slams often enjoy an early test to see exactly where they are, but facing two break points at one set all against an increasingly confident opponent might just be pushing it.
"In the end, credit to Murray for grabbing the momentum back off the Portuguese and resuming the heavy hitting that had given him early control.
"And excitement is already building for Murray v Kyrgios on Saturday, if only between the Aussie and Brit journos in close quarters in the media centre at this stage."
Andy Murray said: "I realised towards the end of the second set he raised his level and I had to tell myself to weather the storm and his level would drop.
"Amelie has helped me a lot. She has a lot of experience, an excellent player and the way she played, she played with variety, something I try do to. She is a very nice person and it is fun to work with her."
Andy Murray makes all the right noises about getting his game together and Sousa giving him a tough workout.
He might be in more serious trouble if he turns in a similar display against Nick Kyrgios in the next round though. The 20-year-old Australian beat Roger Federer on the Madrid clay earlier this month.
Murray does pay a nice tribute to coach Amelie Mauresmo as well.
"She is also a very nice person so it is fun to work with her. That is important," he concludes.

American doubles specialist Eric Butorac: "Murray will be really happy with that. It wasn't too much tennis for him, he had to deal with adversity. You don't want every match to be a comfortable coast. He dealt with enough adversity and was able to power through that. He will leave the match with a lot of confidence. He controlled the middle of the court and isn't being pushed around."
Fabrice Santoro has got the on-court interviewing gig and has decided to wear a kilt to interview Andy Murray.
The British number one looks perplexed.
"It suits you, yeah" he says, a little uncertainly.
Joao Sousa scampers forward at 15-30 down, but drags his forehand volley into the gauze.
It was makeable and his chin is glued to his chest as he trudges back towards the baseline with two match points to defend.
Murray has him on the hook and doesn't let him off...
BBC Radio 5 live sports extra
American doubles specialist Eric Butorac: "Kyrgios fears no one, although he is not as comfortable on clay, and he has that going for him if he meets Murray in the next round."
Andy Murray duffs a backhand volley at 40-0, leaping like a helium-heeled salmon but slapping his shot down on his side of the court.
No matter. A brawler of a first serve barges its way through the Sousa service box to take the Scot to within a game of the third round.

BBC Sport at Roland Garros
"Sloane Stephens wraps up a 6-2 6-4 win, which was pretty routine from her point of view. Watson fought back from a break down to level at 4-4 in the second set but, having done the hard work, then dropped serve for the fifth time, to love.
"It's a fourth second-round loss in five years for the Briton, and she now heads to the grass, where she achieved her Grand Slam best of a third round at Wimbledon.
"Making that breakthrough into the second week remains the next step for her."
Heather Watson's French Open is over as Sloane Stephens completes a 6-2 6-4 victory over the British number one.
That means out of the five Britons who started out in the main draw, only Andy Murray remains.
Joao Sousa gets some breathing space, but he is going to have to find something pretty special in the changeover to take this match into a fifth set.
The Portuguese holds serve.
Andy Murray has his foot to the floor, pedal to the metal, ears pinned back and flying goggles on.
Four points chalked off in rapidfire fashion and he is just two games away.
Bad news for a Brit
Heather Watson's fightback looked to be taking shape. From 4-2 down in the second set, she pulled it back to 4-4 with a break of serve. But then the British number one was broken back straight away and is now a game away from being knocked out.
So, the result of the vote is in and here's the headlines:
43.4% of those who voted think Andy Murray will reach the semi-finals, with 19.7% thinking he'll make the final.
It's a tough journey to get to the semis where Nadal or Djokovic potentially await.
17% think Murray will win the title on 7 June.
Crunch!
Andy Murray clambers into a backhand return, sending the ball fizzing across the chops of Joao Sousa for a clean winner.
15-40 and there are a few British-tinged voices now piping up - fresh off the Eurostar - in support of the third seed.
The second break point is the charm - Murray finding the angle to end a patter-cake exchange at the net and bury Murray a double break deep.
And a muscular hold follows the break.
Tennis' old one-two punch. Has it floored Joao Sousa?
He has to claw back Andy Murray now. We are back to Queensbury rules rather than the barfight that the Portuguese relished in the third set.
