  4. Thanks for joining us

    Hello and welcome along to BBC Sport's coverage of the third day of the French Open.

    It has been a rain-affected afternoon so far in Paris but the covers are off on the outside courts and we'll be under way again soon.

    Novak Djokovic is also going to be on Court Philippe Chatrier in the near future and there's a roof on that one so the rain won't stop us with that match.

  5. One last British hope

    It's been a horrible French Open for British players so far with none of them making it into the second round of the singles events.

    Heather Watson is our last hope and she plays her first round match this afternoon.

    Also, today, Novak Djokovic, following his temper tantrum at the US Open, is back in Grand Slam action. Line judges beware.
