Day five: Patten and Heliovaara through to third round
Number two seeds Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara came through their second round contest against Fabian Marozsan and Mattia Bellucci.
The two-time Grand Slam champions needed just an hour and seven minutes to see off the Hungargian Italian duo 6-1, 6-4.
Elsewhere, British pairing Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool lost out in their second round match up 6-4, 6-4 to Czech partnership Adam Pavlasek and Patrik Rikl.
Patten and Heliovaara ease thorugh second round
Patten and Heliovaara continued their quest for a third Grand Slam title with a dominant performance in Paris.
After a simple first set that saw them take six games in a row, the British Finnish duo raced to 4-1 up in the second.
The pressure hit when the Madrid Open winners missed match point opportunity and lost their next service game at 5-4. However, the second seeds dug deep and at 40-15 up were able to take back the break and secure the match on their second time of asking.
Katie Boulter hopes of reaching the third round at Roland Garros for the first time came to an end at the hands of 28th seed Anastasia Potapova on Thursday evening in Paris.
Boulter took the opening set but couldn't sustain her level, eventually losing out 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 in two hours and seven minutes.
Boulter’s loss now means there are no remaining British tennis players left in the singles draws at Roland Garros.
Boulter misses out on spot in the third round
Boulter and Potapova struggled on serve early in a topsy turvy opening set, which saw them share seven breaks between them. Despite landing just 44% of first serves, the Brit stayed aggressive on the return - winning 68% of points on Potapova’s second serve and converting four breaks.
Both players soon settled and it was Boulter who dug up the first set points at 6-5, 40-15 up - eventually converting on the second with a cross-court forehand to take the lead.
However, Potapova responded strongly after a brief break off court. The 25-year-old capitalised on some shaky serving from Boulter, who conjured up 10 doubles faults across the match, to race into a 5-1 lead. The Brit looked on her way to kick-starting the comeback after reeling off three consecutive games, but the world No.30 held firm to close out the set at the second time of asking.
While the Austrian gradually found her rhythm on serve as the match progressed, the British No.3 continues to struggle - dropping serve twice in the decider as Potapova secured her place in the third round.
It was a tough day at the office for Francesca Jones, whose career-best run at a Grand Slam came to an end in the second round.
The British No.4 fought back against world No.28 Marie Bouzkova but eventually lost out 6-0, 7-6(3) in one hour and 36 minutes.
Jones's Roland Garros run comes to an end in second round
Following her first Grand Slam win on Sunday, Jones struggled to replicate her performance against Bouzkova - who the third WTA top 30 opponent Jones had faced in her career so far.
The Brit grappled with her serve as she won just 24% (4/17) of service points in the opener, allowing Bouzkova to dictate the points and quickly take the lead.
The 25-year-old got on the scoreboard early in the second set and kept her head up despite going 4-1 down. Her fight was rewarded when a huge forehand down the line gave her a first break of the match to level the set.
Winning three breaks in a row, the Brit then created two chances to serve for the set but couldn’t get it across the line as they headed to a tie-break.
The British No.4 started strong, but the Czech star, who won her first WTA title on the clay this year, edged ahead and a double-fault from the Brit saw out the match.
It was a day of disappointment for our British tennis stars as Jacob Fearnley and Cam Norrie both exited in the opening round at Roland Garros.
Fearnley showed flourishes of brilliance in his battle against Juan Manuel Cerundolo, but couldn’t get over the line - eventually losing 6-2, 7-6(0), 7-6(7).
That brings an end to Britain's hopes in the men's singles draw. Katie Boulter and Francesca Jones are the last Brits remaining in Paris.
Fearnley falls short to Cerundolo
After reaching the third round in Paris last year, Fearnley will have been hoping to replicate that run as he faced clay specialist Cerundolo in the opening round.
The Brit responded well after dropping the first set, saving three break points at 0-40 in the sixth game to hold for 3-3 and force a second-set tie-break. However, he was unable to maintain that level, with Cerundolo racing through after winning seven consecutive points to take a two-set lead.
The British No.4 made the first move in the third set but was unable to consolidate the early break. Cerundolo struck back immediately, sprinting ahead to a 40-15 lead before recovering the deficit as Fearnley threw down a double fault under pressure.
The Argentine once again took early control in the third set tie-break, but this time Fearnley fought back to create a set point of his own. However, a loose return handed Cerundolo the advantage, and he grabbed the opportunity to secure victory in just under three hours as Fearnley sent the ball into the net.
Norrie retires against Grand Slam debutant
The opening set was closely contested, with Norrie making the stronger start in the tie-break as he raced out to a 5–1 lead. However, Vallejo - playing in his first Grand Slam main draw match - pulled the momentum into his corner and fought back to level at 6–6.
Norrie was unable to convert four set points, and the world No.71 capitalised, taking the set on his first opportunity as the Brit sent a backhand wide.
The British No.1, who reached the fourth round in Paris last year, began to show clear signs of discomfort late in the set and, after falling an early break down in the second, was unable to continue, bringing his campaign in Paris to an early close.
Katie Boulter had to overcome a testing opening round clash agains wild card Akasha Urhobo to reach the second round.
The British No.3 edged a tight contest 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to record her second win at Roland Garros.
Meanwhile, qualifier Toby Samuel's dream run at Roland Garros ended in a first round defeat to eighth seed Alex De Minaur on the second day of action in Paris.
The Brit - who was making his first Grand Slam main draw debut - put up a valiant effort against the world No.7 but eventually lost out 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 54 minutes to bring his run to an end.
Boulter battles past spirited wild card
Boulter made a fast start against American wild card Urhobo on a warm evening in Paris, racing into a 3–0 lead before her opponent fought back to level the set.
The pair traded breaks in the closing stages, but it was the British No.3 who managed to capitalise on Urhobo's unforced errors to take the opener on her third set point.
Urhobo responded strongly in the second, securing the decisive break in the seventh game to draw level and force a decider on Court 8.
However, Boulter managed to regained control with a break in the fourth game to take the reigns once more. Although she was unable to serve out the match at the first attempt, she broke again to seal victory after a hard-fought contest lasting almost two and a half hours.
In the next round, she'll take on 28th seed Anastasia Potapova in a bid to surpass her tournament best run.
Samuel misses out on Grand Slam main draw debut
Samuel had won all three of his qualifying matches to reach the main draw, and carried that form into his first round clash against De Minaur, in what was his first match against a top 100 player.
After dropping the opening set, Samuel soon began to cause the Australian some trouble when he broke to take a 2-0 lead in the second. However, the experienced eighth seed immediately recovered the deficit before going on to break the Brit once more in the seventh game to wrap up a two set lead.
The 23-year-old - who is supported by the LTA Pro Transition Programme - refused to drop his head despite trailing against the former Roland Garros quarter-finalist, but De Minaur proved too strong as he reeled off a run of five games to secure his place in the second round.
Samuel leaves Paris at a new career-high ranking of world No.159 and will look to carry that momentum into the upcoming grass court swing.
Francesca Jones got the Brits off to a winning start to beat world No.78 Beatriz Haddad Maia in her first Grand Slam main draw win.
The British No.4 dug deep to come back from a set down on Court 14, winning 1-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 in two hours and 39 minutes.
Meanwhile, desite a late fight, British No.1 Emma Raducanu lost out to Argentina's Solana Sierra 6-0, 7-6(4) in an hour and 46 minutes.
Jones through to second round on debut while Raducanu bows out
Despite some early struggles for the British No.4 against the former world No.10, Jones quickly found her rhythm on clay.
Sitting 6-1, 2-0 down in the second set, the Brit held her nerve to come back from a break down twice before eventually sending the set to a tie-break. Jones soon raced ahead to 4-1 before staying strong to level the match at 7-4.
Bringing the momentum with her into the third, the 25-year-old fought through the close opening games before storming ahead, winning five games on the bounce to go up a double break. The Brit kept her head in the final game, taking the match on her first chance on the Brazilian's serve.
Jones will face world No.28 Marie Bouzkova in the second round after she won 6-3, 6-1 against Italian qualifier Lucia Bronzetti.
Raducanu exits in opening round defeat
Raducanu, who was playing her first match on clay this season after coming back from viral illness, had a tricky opening set against the in-form Argentinian who took just 25 minutes to go ahead.
However, the former US Open champion transformed in the second set, battling back from two breaks down to level the set before her third break of serve sent the match to a tie break.
Despite pressure from the British No.1, who fought back from 5-1 to close the gap to just one point, the world No.68 was able to take the win on the first ask.
