ROLAND GARROS – With the loaded quarter featuring Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz sucking up most of the oxygen on the men’s side, every other day is a bit more of a challenge.

But there is a roster of quality matches as the second round of men’s singles concludes.

It was basically Scandinavia day with Norway’s Casper Ruud playing Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori, and Denmark’s Holger Rune also in action (against Henri Laaksonen – who is Swiss but whose name is Finnish all the way).

And the drama of Tsitsipas continues. But he gets through in four hours.
