    "Allez!" shouts Arthur Rinderknech as he wins the first game of the fourth set in front of a French crowd fired up after the perceived injustice at the end of the third.

    The umpire is having to ask for quiet before just about every point but Taylor Fritz is keeping his cool. The ninth seed holds with ease.

  16. Game and third set Fritzpublished at 21:18 British Summer Time 1 June 2023

    *Rinderknech 6-2 4-6 3-6 Fritz

    Arthur Rinderknech is calling for more noise from the crowd after another hold to love - and they respond!

    The cheers turn to boos when a line call goes against Rinderknech to start Taylor Fritz's service game. The line judge called it out, the umpire overruled and Fritz sent his shot long.

    But when the umpire goes to check, she indicates there isn't a mark and the original 'out' call stands! That goes down about as well as you would imagine.

    Fritz is unfazed, though, and a thumping forehand winner gives him a two sets to one lead. Cue more boos.
