- Live updates as Roland Garros begins with stars in action

- Murray fired up by battle with old-stager Wawrinka
11:00: Jannik Sinner (Ita) v (11) David Goffin (Bel), (1) Simona Halep (Rom) v Sara Sorribes Tormo (Spa), (17) Anett Kontaveit (Est) v Caroline Garcia (Fra), (16) Stan Wawrinka (Swi) v Andy Murray (GBR)
It’s a bit rainy out there – I fear that may be said a lot over the next couple of weeks – but we’re getting ready to go.
Opening up on Chatrier, we’ve got Sinner v Goffin [11], while on Lenglen, we’ve got Azarenka [10] v Kovinic. I wonder how she’s getting on after losing the US Open final from a set and a break up; on the one hand, what a brilliant fortnight she had, but on the other…
Morning all! This is a bit strange isn’t it? Strange in an awful way, but also strange in an it’s the end of September and we’re about to absorb ourselves into the maelstrom of a major magnificent way. Joy and love where you find them, mes amis.
Today we have for you – amongst other things – Johanna Konta v Coco Gauff and Stan Wawrinka v Andy Muarry, Dan Evans v Kei Nishikori – oh yes! – with David Goffin, Simona Halep, Victoria Azarenka, Alex Zverev, Venus Williams, Elise Mertens, Benoît Paire and Venus Williams also in action. Mais oui!
