Murray will face David Ferrer in quarter-finals
Serena Williams beats Sloane Stephens 1-6 7-5 6-3
Lucie Safarova beats 2014 champion Maria Sharapova
And Jeremy Chardy is back in the room.
Andy Murray get the lucky side of a thick net cord with Chardy 15-30 up. All apologies from the British number one, but that could be big.
No matter for Chardy. The Frenchman comes to the net and forces Murray wide for a break point at 30-40.
Tremendous forehand pings eventually stretch Murray out of shape in a high-class exchange and Chardy has parity.

Ninth plays seventh, just as planned, with US Open champion Marin Cilic and David Ferrer - a man who loves clay like Swayze and Moore in Ghost - competing to play either Murray or Chardy.
The atmosphere streams out of a patchily-populated Philippe Chatrier as Jeremy Chardy coughs up successive double-faults to allow Andy Murray a break in the very first game of the match.
Early in the day, big point anti-climaxes, that was the anti-Monfils.
Right, quick smart we spin our office chair to face the court of Suzanne Lenglen.
Andy Murray and Jeremy Chardy are under way. Chardy to tee us off...

A very winnable quarter-final - against Garbine Muguruza - awaits as well.
Image source, AFPUnbelievable scenes of tension on Philippe Chatrier.
Defending champ Maria Sharapova, match point down at 5-4 in the second against Lucie Safarova, defends for her life and just about clings on.
But here comes a second match point. First serve missed...

BBC tennis correspondent on Radio 5 live sports extra
"Murray has a very good record of beating home players at home Grand Slams. If Murray is at or close to his best he should win but Chardy is a good player. He is not the type of player who usually troubles Murray though."

A crueller man than me might suggest that Jeremy Chardy is straight out of that fourth-round fodder mould that the French seem to specialise in.
Promising junior career, not fully realised in the senior ranks, lovely deft touch at the net, dangerous on his day, matinee looks, gossip-column regular. You know the drill.
Chardy is aiming to make the quarter-finals for the first time in nine campaigns at his home Grand Slam.

"We're back on Court Suzanne Lenglen, which is where Murray has played most of his tennis at Roland Garros over the last couple of years.
"The liveliest of the show courts usually has an extra edge when there's a Frenchman involved, and today it's the quietly-spoken Chardy who must rouse his compatriots. He might find it hard going against Murray, who relishes any sort of support, be it with or against him."

Garbine Muguruza serves out without a hint of nerves to knock out Italy's Flavia Pennetta 6-3 6-4.
She will play whoever emerges from the wreckage of Maria Sharapova and Lucie Safarova's match on Philippe Chatrier next.
Next up for us is Andy Murray v Jeremy Chardy. The stage is set, we just await the leading men...

"You know something is up when the clicking of camera shutters becomes a constant buzz, and Sharapova's troubles have attracted a swarm of photographers to Chatrier.
"The Russian's coach, Sven Groeneveld, has been urging his charge on from the stands but Safarova has had too much for her so far, making Sharapova look like the flat-footed hard-courter who first arrived in Paris a decade ago. The fighting spirit is always evident though and this one could have a fair way to go yet."
Image source, AP"One second please. This is getting slightly irritating...."
Defending Maria Sharapova was outgunned 7-3 in an opening-set tie-break by Czech Lucie Safarova and was a break down in the second.
Sharapova has pulled on the knuckle-dusters to get the set back on serve, but she is in a right old scrap out there.
Three-two Safarova with Sharapova serving. And griping about line calls.

In the match before their's on Suzanne Lenglen, Spaniard Garbine Muguruza is about to serve for the match against 28th seed Flavia Pennetta at 6-3 5-4.
But meanwhile there is something rather tasty brewing over on Philippe Chatrier....

The Auld Alliance was a 13th century French-Scottish understanding based on mutual hatred of the English and love of fine wine.
Happy days.
Andy Murray has been testing those Franco-Celtic relations to the limit in more recent times.
In his last 22 Grand Slam meetings with French opposition, he has not allowed them a single victory.
Jeremy Chardy and the vast majority of spectators on Suzanne Lenglen will be trying to even things up a little this afternoon.
