1435 SINNER BEATS KOTOV

Australian Open champion and Italian second seed Jannik Sinner beat Russia's Pavel Kotov 6-4 6-4 6-4 to reach the fourth round, as matches on the outer courts and Court Simonne-Mathieu resumed after rain subsided.

1345 RAGING RUBLEV FALLS TO ARNALDI

Sixth seed Andrey Rublev suffered a 7-6(6) 6-2 6-4 third-round defeat to Italy's Matteo Arnaldi with the frustrated Russian slamming his racket to the ground, kicking his bench and shouting at himself during an error-filled performance.

Rublev is the second seeded player to lose to the 23-year-old Italian, with Arnaldi knocking out 29th seed Arthur Fils in the first round.

1255 RAIN INTERRUPTS PLAY

Matches on Court Simonne-Mathieu and the outer courts have been suspended due to rain.

The next scheduled match on Court Simonne-Mathieu is the third round clash between Czech fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova and French wildcard Chloe Paquet.

1217 DANILOVIC STUNS VEKIC WITH DRAMATIC TIEBREAK VICTORY

Serbian qualifier Olga Danilovic overcame a first-set bagel to defeat Croat Donna Vekic 0-6 7-5 7-6(8) in a nail-biting encounter that lasted three hours and eight minutes to advance to the last 16.

Vekic served for the match twice in the final set, but Danilovic's resilience led to a thrilling tiebreak triumph.

"I don't know what to say I have no word thank you for supporting me in this match," Danilovic said. "I am enjoying my time here but I don't even know how I won this match I was down so many times."

"There have been so many rain delays but the folks that come to watch, merci beaucoup... I love clay I love Paris, going through (for the first time) means the world to me."
