A solid start for Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in his quarter-final match against American Tommy Paul. The French Open champion is currently level at 2-2.

Paul will dust himself off after this clash and get ready to take on British duo Andy Murray and Dan Evans alongside Taylor Fritz.

Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne and Becky Wilde have been speaking to BBC Sport after winning bronze medals in the women's double sculls.

Hodgkins-Byrne: "Quite surreal to be honest. I knew we could do it beforehand, but knowing you can do it is very different to actually being able to do it. Like all the races here, we knew anything could happen. I said to Tom before 'all I had to do is stay in the boat and if I can do that, I can get the best out of us' and that is what my aim is.

"Becky never knows where we are during the race, only at the end where I said we got bronze and she waited for the scoreboard at the end to check we did. We just want to say thank you for everyone who plays the National Lottery for all of the funding and support it's given us, we're really grateful.

"I had Freddie (my son) just over two years ago and I've already seen him. We got selected in March, and were given the challenge of possibly not being able to qualify. So we were determined to do that and secretly to ourselves, we tried to make the podium which we have done."

Wilde: "I have no idea. I've just had the support of so many people behind me, Mathilda has been such a great woman to have in the bow, I have learned so much. I just knew that if I did my job and pushed as hard as I can, we'd get over the line.

"I just went off what Mathilda was saying. She said New Zealand were with us and I kept pushing as hard as I can through the middle."

All over at the Yves-du-Manoir stadium and, for the third match in a row, GB have come from behind to get a result.

They were 1-0 down but have beaten France 2-1, thanks to Zach Wallace’s earlier strike and James Albery picking an excellent time to score his first senior goal.

That puts them up to second in the group, with the top four going through to the quarter-finals. Excellent grit on show, especially in front of a very, very loud, partisan crowd.

It wasn't to be for Great Britain in the women's doubles as Katie Boulter and Heather Watson were beaten by Italian third seeds Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini.

Let's hope men's duo Andy Murray and Dan Evans have better luck later on.

The news of Jake Wightman's withdrawal from the men's 800m after failing to recover from a hamstring injury is just the latest bit of wretched news to befall the Scottish contingent amid Team GB.

From double gold medal-hunting cyclist Katie Archibald being ruled out of the Games after falling over a step in her garden, to world number one Seonaid McIntosh failing to make the final of the 50m rifle three positions, to Wightman's woes, it's been a grim few days.

Add in a few missed medal opportunities here and there, and any pre-Olympic hopes of matching the record haul of 14 in Tokyo three years ago seems shot.

European champions James Peters and Fynn Sterritt will hope to keep the men's skiff title in British hands after Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell took the gold in this event in Tokyo.

The skiff, named after its hull length of 4.99 metres, is known for its demanding nature, requiring the crew to have strong technical skills and physical fitness.

The two sailors onboard take different roles; the helm - Peters - generally makes the tactical decisions and steers the boat, while the crew - Sterritt - undertakes more of the physical work and controls the sails.

Peters and Sterritt were seventh after the opening series so will need to put in a big performance to secure a medal.

In the opening series, the teams competed in 12 races with competitors earning points equivalent to where they finished: the winner of a race is awarded one point, while second place gets two points, and so on.

Points are carried over from the opening series and it is double points in the medal race, which starts at 13:43 BST.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is through to the quarter-finals of the women's 66kg at the Olympics after her opponent, Italy's Angela Carini, abandoned their bout inside 46 seconds.

Khelif is one of two athletes who have been cleared to compete in the women's boxing in Paris, having been disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships for failing to meet eligibility criteria.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) - which did not organise the World Championships but is running the boxing at Paris 2024 - said welterweight Khelif was disqualified in India because of elevated levels of testosterone.

Having received a bye in the first round, the 25-year-old - who also competed at the Tokyo Olympics - entered Arena Paris Nord on Thursday to much applause from the many Algerians in the crowd.

After taking a punch to the face inside 30 seconds, Carini went to the corner for her coach to fix her headgear but after briefly resuming, returned to her corner once more and stopped the fight.

She was in tears as she faced the media after the bout.

It comes a day after Algeria's Olympic Committee condemned "baseless" attacks on Khelif.

Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, who was stripped of a bronze medal at last year's World Championships after failing a gender eligibility test, fights in Paris on Friday.

The IOC said all boxers in Paris "comply with the competition's eligibility and entry regulations".

It's devastating, any athlete that misses out on the Olympic games, when they think they should be there is hard going but to do it so close to the event. Jake Wightman, understandably, will be absolutely devastated.

I spoke to his father Jeff who coaches him and he said he felt some tightness in his hamstrings at the end of a 400m session on Tuesday and a scan has revealed that he has a tear in his hamstring.

So gutting for Jake after being put in the team, controversially with the big decisions the selectors had to make between himself and Elliot Giles in the 800m event.

The action doesn't stop there at Roland Garros with Spain's Carlos Alcaraz close to entering the Philippe Chatrier court.

The French Open champion will take on American Tommy Paul for a spot in the semi-finals.

I think he gets a touch behind the goalie. [France goalkeeper] Thieffry looks to the sky. It's a defensive touch from Charlet in front of him. Thieffry has been such a wall at times today.

Great Britain lead for the first time in the match with a little under six minutes left!

James Albery is credited with the goal but after a mistake from the France keeper.

Team GB move a step closer to qualification from the pool.

The medal hopes of Katie Boulter and Heather Watson are over.

Watson threatens to chuck her racquet after putting a volley into the net to set up match point.

There’s nothing she or Boulter can do about the match-winning shot.

It’s a beauty of a cross-court backhand winner from Paolini which sums up the quality of their opponents.

Boulter and Watson both mask their disappointment with broad smiles before sharing a warm hug.

A fun and productive week for the pair is ended by the Italian party poopers.

Great Britain's Ben Maher on BBC One following his clear run to help Team GB qualify for the final of the team jumping event and his late change in horses from Point Break to Dallas Vegas Batilly: "She was incredible today. It's a hot day here, a packed crowd, focussed on what we're doing but it's hard to ignore. My job is to use my experience to boost the team a little bit to get through qualifying today and it's a pretty big test.

"That was my job. I tend to go first these days, that's what the team manager likes. My horse gave me a great feeling though, she was with me today. She seems to be in good spirits, I can tell a lot about here, she's a very sensitive horse and we have a long way to go this week, but we have a good start."

On the horse change: "I'm in a very, very fortunate position with a strong team of horses that I've had growing up for many years and Dallas Vegas lost form sort of April/May time and Point Break is very talented so we pushed him along, but she was a direct reserve replacement for me, I think there was some question as to why a reserve came in but she was always a direct replacement and I felt the experience and the form that she hit in recent weeks would carry me forward this week."

On his clear run: "It's very hard to do one time around and then sometimes, when you don't realise how you did it, it's hard to come back and try again. I know what it takes, I believe in my horse and right now, we're focussed on the team competition, it will give them a boost for the day."

In the show jumping at Chateau de Versailles, Great Britain have qualified for the final of the team jumping event after an excellent run in qualifying.

The top 10 finishing nations booking their place into the final on Friday and with Great Britain (8) finishing behind only Germany (zero) and the United States (6).

The experienced Ben Maher, riding Dallas Vegas Batilly who was a late replacement for Point Break, started Great Britain's run with a perfect round.

Following him were Harry Charles and Scott Brash, who picked up just four penalty points each riding Romeo 88 and Jefferson respectively.

Maher has also been speaking on BBC One...

Japan's Hideki Matsuyama now holds a two-stroke lead at Le Golf National, reaching eight under par through 16 holes in a so far blemish-free round.

World number one Scottie Scheffler and Ireland's Rory McIlroy are at three under.

Blimey! Iga Swiatek has lost at Roland Garros.

That’s a sentence which we have not written since 2021.

The Polish world number one has won the past three French Opens here, meaning Zheng Qinwen has ended her opponent’s 25-match winning streak.

Queen Wen dethrones the Queen of Clay.

Great Britain have been pushing and pushing and they are finally level - much to the joy of the British fans in the crowd.

It was Zach Wallace who finally found the net, converting a penalty stroke that not even the superb French keeper Arthur Thieffry could stop.

Could be a tense final 15...
