    Another cracking day at Roland Garros is at an end - and that is left for the Parisians is to celebrate PSG's Champions League success!

    Earlier, British number one Jack Draper outclassed rising star Joao Fonseca in the fourth round.

    Cameron Norrie came out on top in the all-British battle with Jacob Fearnley and will face Novak Djokovic, who we've just seen beat Filip Misolic in straight sets, in the next round.

    Meanwhile, top seed Jannik Sinner dropped only three games in a ruthless win over Jiri Lehecka.

    And there was a nice moment earlier when Mirra Andreeva thanked a fan for gifting her a "lucky charm" before her French Open third-round victory against Yulia Putintseva.

    We'll be back tomorrow with Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka among those in action. Make sure you join us for that!

    Sixth seed Novak Djokovic, speaking via an interpreter, after beating Filip Misolic: "First match for me on the night session. Obviously different, I spent all day with anticipation.

    "I remember the last time I was playing here at night, the one that finished at 3am – I was hoping this one wouldn’t finish at 3am.

    "I was solid during the big moments in all three sets. Filip had nothing to lose, he’s a good friend, we trained together. I’m really happy for him, I’m glad he played so well tonight. He deserves another round of applause.

    "I’m just hoping to carry on. Every time I step onto this court I’m playing for history. It’s incredible, this sport that has given me everything in my life. I want to give back the love I experience when I’m playing."

    Novak Djokovic is in a hurry.

    He fights back from 0-40 to earn another break point courtesy of some enormous forehands.

    Filip Misolic has done brilliantly to ward off break points in this match but not this time. Djokovic has the double break and will serve for a place in the fourth round.

    Novak Djokovic pummels away with a succession of forehands before a misjudgement sees him let a forehand from Filip Misolic go... only for the ball to land comfortably inside the baseline.

    What should have been 40-15 is suddenly 30-30. Is this Misolic's chance?

    Not this time... A 27-shot rally follows but it's the Austrian who drags the ball wide. Djokovic isn't happy either and the umpire asks for quiet from the crowd during points.

    Some of that noise is fireworks going off to celebrate Paris St-Germain's Champions League success, though, so there's not much that can be done about that!

    Djokovic holds regardless and is two games from victory.

    Meanwhile, another Paris St-Germain goal in Munich means it is party time in the French capital. Those at Roland Garros might just have to wait a little while longer to join in.

    There's a delay before Novak Djokovic's service game as the umpire tries to settle the crowd down.

    What a rally!

    The crowd are on their feet on Court Philippe Chatrier. Incredible shot-making, balls just barely clipping the baseline and some incredible athleticism from both players.

    Filip Misolic eventually goes long after dashing in to reach a drop shot but that doesn't prevent him holding to get up and running in this third set.

    We've just seen pictures of the Eiffel Tower being lit up in the blue and red of Paris St-Germain.

    They've gone early there because while, like Novak Djokovic here, they're in a very good position, it's not won yet.

    The Serb quickly moves up 0-30 on the Filip Misolic serve to start the third set. Perhaps he wants to catch the end of that Champions League final...

    Fantastic again from Novak Djokovic.

    With Filip Misolic pushing again at 30-30, Djokovic finds an angle with the forehand that just did not look on.

    Ever since Filip Misolic brought up that break point a couple of games back, Novak Djokovic has upped his game.

    The Serb reaches a drop shot and whips it cross-court to bring up two break points.

    He can't convert either, though, and Misolic holds to ensure it stays at just a one break difference in the set.
