The Spaniard's quest for a 14th Roland Garros title is up and running.
Watson leads by a break in second setpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 23 May 2022
* Watson 3-6 2-1 Jacquemot
Now - will Heather Watson's experience start to show here? She starts well enough, eventually taking a fifth break point to take the lead at the start of the first set.
Watson has been playing a lot more purposefully at the net than we have seen of late - less waiting for a mistake and more looking for the opportunity to kill off the point.

Raducanu 2-0 Noskova*
Again, Noskova kills the point with a pin-point drop shot for a fourth consecutive point.
One more for the game... Nope, that's a cracking return from Raducanu.

Raducanu 2-0 Noskova*
That's a lovely backhand drop shot from Noskova to save the first break point, and Raducanu can't manage to take her next two opportunities for a double break either. Deuce.

Thompson 2-6 2-6 2-5 Nadal*
Another break for Rafael Nadal and the writing is very much on the wall for an increasingly disgruntled Jordan Thompson.
The Spaniard is serving for a straight-set win.

Raducanu 2-0 Noskova*
A double fault for Noskova, a second in as many service games now.
The Czech teenager misses the baseline - before some heavy, accurate hitting from Raducanu tees up three break points!

Raducanu 2-0 Noskova*
Boom! That's a huge backhand from Noskova, attacking the Raducanu serve early on.
Raducanu finds her first serve, though, and eases clear to consolidate her early break.

*Evans 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 3-2 Cerundolo
Another mini-fightback from Francisco Cerundolo as the Argentine reclaims one of Dan Evans' breaks before holding serve.
Can Cerundolo take this one to a fourth set?

* Raducanu 1-0 Noskova
Naomi Cavaday
BBC Sport tennis commentatorA lot is expected of Noskova in her future. She has been flying up the rankings, came through qualifying - and another Czech to add to the list.

*Raducanu 1-0 Noskova
A purposeful start from Raducanu, who settles in nicely with a backhand winner.
Noskova delivers on the forehand as she pulls level at 30-30, but Raducanu will have a chance to make an early breakthrough here...
Oh dear, a double fault! A perfect start for Britain's Raducanu.

Raducanu 0-0 Noskova*
It's a first Roland Garros main draw appearance for both 19-year-old Emma Raducanu and Czech 17-year-old Linda Noskova.
And it'll be qualifier Noskova, ranked 184th, to serve first against Raducanu, the 10th seed and world number 12.
Play!
Nadal breaks Thompsonpublished at 16:48 British Summer Time 23 May 2022
Thompson 2-6 2-6 2-3 Nadal*
Woah! Rafael Nadal comes out on top at the end of a bruising 32-shot rally and it prompts Jordan Thompson to slam his racquet down in anger.
He's not the first to have felt that way against the Spaniard at Roland Garros.
Nadal can't convert the break point, however, nor the second...but third time's the charm and he goes a break up in the third.

Watson 6-3 Jacquemot *
Naomi Cavaday
BBC Sport tennis commentatorWatson is a pretty effective counterpuncher on her day, but she is a player who can get overwhelmed when her opponent is finding her level.

Watson 6-3 Jacquemot *
After starting very slowly, Watson made a decent fist of fighting her way back into the match but left herself a bit of a mountain to climb - the 2020 Junior French Open champion started brilliantly and she takes the first set.

One the most heartwarming things about Emma Raducanu - away from her stunning on-court rise - is her ability to affectionate engage with the legions of young fans she now has.
At the end of her practice on an outside court at Roland Garros yesterday, the US Open champion made the days of many who waited courtside for her autograph.
Just look at the smiles of Emily, Aoibhin and Isabella Tennant!
The three sisters, aged 10, five and 12, are from Dublin and are in Paris with their parents and grandparents.
Why? To meet Raducanu. They all stayed up late to watch her win the US Open and want to follow in her footsteps.
So the family came to Roland Garros for the first time together, hoping the girls would be able to meet their idol.
"We had to find her, we've been checking where she would practice," said Emily. "She's a really good player and she is so inspiring."

*Evans 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 3-0 Cerundolo
Dan Evans goes two breaks up in the third!
Barring a catastrophic collapse, he's going to seal his first French Open win today.
Not a bad way to mark his 32nd birthday.

*Thompson 2-6 2-6 2-2 Nadal
No danger for Rafa as he holds to love. Six unforced errors from Jordan Thompson in this third set.
He's being comprehensively outplayed out there, but there's no shame in that of course when you're facing a 13-time champion.

Raducanu v Noskova
British number one and US Open champion Emma Raducanu makes her senior French Open debut today, with the 19-year-old facing 17-year-old Czech qualifier Linda Noskova over on Simonne-Mathieu.
Raducanu has been hampered by a back injury in recent weeks but says she has been working hard in the gym ahead of her meeting with Noskova, who won the junior title in Paris last year.
"It is something I really wanted to play, it is a Grand Slam and you don't want to miss it," Raducanu said.
"I have been doing more in the gym to try and fire up those muscles, keep the stability, and do some rehab.
"This week I have been training pretty good and I'm looking forward to getting started."
