Things got a bit hairy towards the end for Coco Gauff but she eventually seals GAME, SET AND MATCH to advance to the fourth round of the French Open! Even in that final game, Yastremska thundered a couple of unreturnable winners down the line to reach 15-40 but Gauff battled back to deuce and then shook off a double fault to take victory with her first match point.

The third seed will face 23-year-old Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto – who is having a career-best grand slam tournament this week – in round four.

The rain is pitter-pattering down here at Roland Garros and Yastremska does her bit by holding serve, so Gauff will have a second attempt to serve out the match. She’ll be desperate to get it done before the rain gets any heavier

Here’s how Gauff initially moved a game away from victory, by the way.

An absolutely epic eighth game of this second set but Dayana Yastremska eventually breaks Coco Gauff to stay alive in this match! The Ukrainian squanders a mammoth five break points before it’s sixth time lucky and narrows the gap to 5-3.

Gauff saw a match point slip by but she still has a break of serve in hand. Yastremska will now try to ensure that Coco at least has to serve the match out by holding here

As Gauff looks to seal the win on Chatrier, a quick whizz around the courts for you.

Men’s sixth seed Andrey Rublev is just about underway on Lenglen in his third-round encounter with Matteo Arnaldi of Italy, while Olga Danilovic has broken back against Donna Vekic in their deciding set, so it’s 3-3 there.

A couple of Brits in men’s doubles action as Lloyd Glasspool, alongside Dutch partner Jean-Julien Rojer, is approaching a first-set tiebreak against Argentine eighth seeds Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni, while Henry Patten, with Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara, could be authoring an upset against fifth seeds Santiago Gonzalez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin as they lead by a set and it’s on serve in the second. Third seeds – Britain’s Joe Salisbury and USA’s Rajeev Ram – came through their first-round clash in straight sets earlier.

In the women’s doubles GB’s Olivia Nicholls has just started a deciding set alongside Brazil’s Ingrid Gamarra Martins against second seeds Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez, while Maia Lumsden came through her first-round clash alongside China’s Yafan Wang.

Gauff is motoring again now and closing in on victory on Court Philippe-Chatrier as she breaks Yastremska in the fifth game of the set to 30 and consolidates the hold. The American is just two games away

No sooner has Gauff broken her Ukrainian opponent than she is broken back. The young American throws in a double fault at 15-30 and Yastremska gobbles up the opportunity with a brilliant return to break to 15. Back on serve in set two.

Gauff breaks immediately in the second set, and the 20-year-old American is in an even stronger position now.

An interesting turnaround on Court Simonne-Mathieu, where Olga Danilovic has bounced back from a crushing 6-0 first-set loss to win the second set 7-5, and force Donna Vekic into a decider.

However, Vekic has broken instantly in the third and consolidated with a hold.

Coco Gauff survives a break point against her to serve out the set, which is clinched with another unforced error by Yastremska, crashing a forehand into the net.

Solid stuff by Gauff, and she’s halfway to the fourth round.

On Philippe-Chatrier, Coco Gauff has earned the first break of the match and consolidated it with two service holds since. It’s not Gauff at her free-flowing best, yet, but she’s taking advantage of a misfiring opponent right now.
