  2. Monday's action

    So, what can we look forward to tomorrow?

    We'll be back to take you through the action as the in-form Cameron Norrie - who has the third highest number of ATP match wins this year - faces American qualifier Bjorn Fratangelo.

    That's followed by British number one Johanna Konta's opening match.

    Seeded 19th, Konta has the chance to avenge her US Open second-round defeat by Romania's Sorana Cirstea after the pair were drawn against each other again.

    British number two Heather Watson - the nation's only other representative in the women's draw - faces Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan.

  3. In the women's draw, Japanese second seed Naomi Osaka beat Romania's Patricia Maria Tig 6-4 7-6 (7-4).

    Petra Kvitova overcame Belgian Greet Minnen in three sets, but Angelique Kerber is out after a 6-2 6-4 defeat by Anhelina Kalinina.

    Meanwhile, world number 22 Elena Rybakina progressed in straight sets against Elsa Jacquemot.

  4. Today's results

    Elsewhere in the men's draw, world number 11 Roberto Bautista Agut progressed in straight sets against compatriot Mario Vilella Martinez, 6-4 6-4 6-2.

    Italian Fabio Fognini is also safely through following a 6-4 6-1 6-4 win over Gregoire Barrere.

    There were also straight-set wins for Karen Khachanov against Jiri Vesely, and Guido Pella against Daniel Elahi Galan.

  5. Andujar pulls set back v Thiem

    Andujar 4-6 5-7 6-3 Thiem

    Good perseverance from Pablo Andujar sees him rewarded in the shape of the third set against fourth seed Dominic Thiem.

    He broke Thiem's serve late on, taking the set at the first opportunity.

    Game on.

  7. From promise to bitter disappointment

    Russell Fuller
    BBC tennis correspondent on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The clay-court season which started with such promise in Monte Carlo has ended with more bitter disappointment at Roland Garros.

    For once, Dan Evans losing at Roland Garros does come as a surprise, given how well he's played in the clay-court season.

  8. Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 6-4 Evans

    Huge disappointment for Dan Evans, who is unable end his wait for a second-round appearance at Roland Garros.

    It was a really impressive turnaround by the 21-year-old Miomir Kecmanovic.

    He'll face either Corentin Moutet or Laslo Dere in the next round.

  9. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Kecmanovic

    Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 6-4 Evans

    Another match point for Kecmanovic. Evans is hanging on by his finger tips...

    He can't save it this time!

    The British number one is out.

  10. Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-4 Evans*

    Evans saves it, and produces an ace to give himself advantage.

    But Kecmanovic takes control of the rally before bringing things back to deuce with a drop shot.

  11. Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-4 Evans*

    Is the occasion getting to Kecmanovic?

    Nope. Evans works the Serb around the court before picking out a backhand winner for 30-0, but Kecmanovic battles back admirably.

    Match point.

  12. Evans is still in this match

    Russell Fuller
    BBC tennis correspondent on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Very tight from Kecmanovic, and good returning from Evans, and he knows where his corner of support is seated.

    He celebrates with them and he's still in this match. We're back on serve.

  13. Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-4 Evans*

    Four straight points. Evans is back in this!!

  14. Kecmanovic* 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-3 Evans

    He's not going quietly. Break point Evans!

  15. Kecmanovic* 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-3 Evans

    Kecmanovic is almost there, but Evans produces a fine backhand to get on the board at 30-15.

    The Serb goes long and Evans has a chance here.

    30-30.

  16. Kecmanovic* 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-3 Evans

    Job done, efficiently, by Evans.

    He concedes just one point on his serve to move 5-3 behind.

    Kecmanovic to serve for the match...

  17. Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-2 Evans*

    This will hurt Evans if he does go out here. He's shown some great form so far in 2021 and would have really fancied his chances today.

    The 21-year-old Kecmanovic, who has lost his last four matches, has been superb since a poor opening first set.

  18. Kecmanovic 1-6 6-3 6-3 5-2 Evans*

    Kecmanovic overpowers Evans from the baseline for a 40-30 lead, before coolly seeing out his service game and move within one game of an excellent victory.

  19. 'A lot going on'

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There's a lot going on here from Dan, at one point the racquet's gone, complaining about strings.

    He could do with thinking about what he wants to do before stepping up to the line.

  20. Kecmanovic* 1-6 6-3 6-3 4-2 Evans

    Kecmanovic, two games from victory, to serve.

    Can Evans somehow rescue this?
