LIVE – Updated at 18:36
Day Two of the French Open features an all-star line-up with Emma Raducanu making her senior debut on clay as she faces Czech qualifier Linda Noskova on Court Simonne Mathieu in Paris. The 19-year-old is seeded 12th and follows British men’s No 1 Cameron Norrie who made it safely through to the second round with a straight sets victory over Manuel Guinard.
Rafael Nadal showed no signs of pain as the 13-time champion marched into the second round with clinical 6-2 6-2 6-2 demolition of Australian Jordan Thompson. The Spaniard, who has been hampered by a rib injury and a chronic foot problem, cruised through to the second round as he chases a 22nd grand slam title. “It’s incredible for me to play here again on Chatrier. I’m happy with this win. First round is always special,” said Nadal.
Earlier in the day, women’s No 1 Iga Swiatek put on a commanding display against Ukrainian qualifier Lesia Tsurenko with a 6-2 6-0 opening victory, but Naomi Osaka and Barbora Krejcikova both suffered shock exits. Afterwards, Osaka admitted she may not play at Wimbledon this summer after the tournament was stripped of its ranking status due to its ban on Russian and Belarusian players.

Chance! Noskova overplays a drop shot and puts it out of play then follows up with a double fault. Is the pressure beginning to tell on the 17-year-old?
Maybe not as she wins the next point. 15-30.
What a cross court forehand! At a nervous point in her service game Emma Raducanu is forced wide only to drill her return right into the back corner to win the point. She holds and Noskova has to serve to stay in the set.
Can Raducanu break one more time?
