Preamble
Tim Henman says between sets that he thinks it would be smart if Draper took 10% off his shots, didn’t take as many chances and made Monfils work harder for the points. Draper starts the third set off with a delicate touch, dispatching a winning drop shot. But he butchers a backhand, after the ball flies off the line and catches him off-guard. And a double fault gives Monfils deuce. The crowd are ooohing and aaahing as Monfils scampers from side to side; the running proves to be in vain. Advantage Draper. Jeu Draper for 6-3, 4-6, 1-0.
For all the criticism of the French Open having scheduled only men’s matches in the evening slot this year (and last year too), and it’s very, very valid, I doubt any of the crowd are complaining right now. They’re screaming when Monfils takes the first point for 15-0, and they’re encouraging their man just as loudly when he concedes the second point for 15-all. A classy volley from Monfils makes it 30-15. And a netted Draper return gives the Frenchman two set points. Draper hoiks a forehand into the tramlines and it’s game on! It’s Draper 6-3, 4-6 Monfils.
Thanks Taha. This is more like the Draper of the first set, and he continues in that vein by charging to 30-0 on serve. And then 40-15. He’s left scrambling in the red clay when his forehand misses by a mile, but takes the game to 30. Monfils will now get a second chance to serve this second set out at 5-4.
Monfils is up to the net for a forehand smash but Draper slams the return before breaking back in rapid style. Monfils still leads 5-3 and Katy is back in the chair.
Monfils holds to go 4-2 up before turning back the clock with the first point of the next game, sliding from side to side to win a long ol’ rally, his final forehand too powerful for Draper, who is up by the net. The next point is delicious too as he manoeuvres his opponent around before the killer volley. Monfils has two chances to break again – the first sees him net a forehand. But he takes the second and goes 5-2 up in the second set, just one hold away from claiming it.
Monfils launches a powerful forehand down the line and Draper nets the return. The 38-year-old has a chance to break but Draper thunders his own down-the-line effort to force deuce. But Monfils finally breaks as Draper goes long – the former leads the second set 3-2.
Monfils holds and gets the fist-pumps going. Draper leads 6-3, 2-2.
Draper, 1-1 in the second set, begins the game with a delicious drop shot that Monfils recognises is a lost cause. Monfils is not in a baseline mood as he thunders to the net but Draper is in control and he sprints through to make it 2-1.
Draper takes the first set 6-3 against Monfils, the Frenchman’s advance to the net going all wrong as he dinks the ball long.
Evening all. Monfils has a chance to break but Draper resists at the net when the local hero appeared in control – we go to deuce. Then comes a double fault from Draper but he recovers brilliantly, the next three points seized in quick-time. Draper leads 5-3.
Monfils holds from deuce, but he was made to work for it, and the sweat is dripping from his face as he sits down at the changeover. I’m off to grab some food, so Taha will take you through the next stages …
If you’re just tuning in, there have been wins today for Sinner against the retiring Gasquet, Zverev, Gauff, Rublev, Pegula, Mirra Andreeva and the wonderful Fils, but defeats for De Minaur, Mensik and Krejkicova, the Wimbledon champion. From a British perspective, Norrie and now Fearnley are through, to face each other, but out have gone Boulter and Kartal.
Kenin is edging closer to round three, leading Azarenka 7-6, 4-3, having just held. And Draper is sprinting through the first set, holding to 15 for 4-2, with some brutal hitting. “Monfils looks like a 38-year-old who played five sets two nights ago,” says John McEnroe on the commentary.
With all that going on, there’s not been time to talk about Draper and Monfils, but the Brit has an early break, 3-1 up, with Monfils serving at 30-all. Monfils moves to game point, and they’re going at each other in the next rally, and Draper drags high and wide. Draper leads 3-2 with the break.
Fearnley advances as Humbert retires
Humbert is back, with his lower right leg heavily strapped, but for how long I’m not sure. He doesn’t look at all happy, and with Fearnley leading 6-3, 4-4, the Frenchman shakes his head and decides to call it quits. Humbert retires and we’ll have an all-British meeting in the third round between Fearnley and Norrie.
Djokovic beats Moutet 6-3, 6-2, 7-6
Djokovic is turning it on in the breaker, surging into a 4-0 lead, which quickly becomes 5-1. A wild return from Moutet hands Djokovic five match points. And a wayward first serve puts the pressure on the Frenchman… who lands his second, but Djokovic is always in control of the point, and an easy putaway at the end completes the win. Moutet had his chances in each set, but will be kicking himself for not taking them. Next up for Djoko: the winner of Shapovalov v Misolic, with Misolic, the Austrian qualifier, currently two sets to love up against the 27th seed.
I think it’s may be Humbert’s ankle rather than calf. He’s absolutely covered in clay after his fall and has to be helped up. Unsurprisingly, he’s taking a medical timeout.
Djokovic misses his first serve, then bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounces the ball before his second, and Moutet goes on to net in the rally! Deuce. Advantage Djokovic. Game Djokovic. We’ve got ourselves a third-set tie-break, with Djokovic up 6-3, 6-2, 6-6.
Well, well. Set point Moutet at his advantage on Djokovic’s serve. Just as Humbert slumps to the clay clutching his right calf. This doesn’t look good; I’m not sure if he’ll be able to continue …
Draper has form on his side – having reached his first clay-court final, at the Madrid Open, and then the quarter-finals in Rome – but Monfils will have the crowd on his. Not that I think that’ll put Draper off; he’s such a tough competitor these days, with his career-high ranking of No 5 reward for the progress he’s made since a first-round defeat at Roland Garros last year.
Here come Draper and Monfils. It could be a cracker – if the 38-year-old Monfils’s body holds up. It’s taken a battering during the Frenchman’s career – and did again on Tuesday night when he crashed into the advertising boards and needed treatment to his hand, knee and back during his comeback from two sets to love down against Hugo Dellien.
Props to Ethan Quinn, the young American qualifier and 2023 NCAA singles champion, who has come through a five-set arm wrestle against Kazakhstan’s Alexander Shevchenko, prevailing 7-5 in the decider.
Clutch point for Fearnley, leading 6-3, 3-2, 30-40 on Humbert’s serve. The Brit can’t take it. An important point, too, for Djokovic at 6-3, 6-2, 4-5, 30-all, with Moutet pushing for a break, and Djokovic holds. And a set point for Kenin, which she takes, to claim the first-set tie-break against Azarenka 7-5.
The evening patrons on Chatrier, meanwhile, are waiting for the arrival of Jack Draper and Gael Monfils.
Djokovic holds for 6-3, 6-2, 4-4. Fearnley, meanwhile, is 2-2 in the second set with Humbert, having taken the first 6-3. And Azarenka and Kenin are into a first-set tie-break.
Stef. What a gentleman. Probably a good thing he carried Badosa’s racket bag given her dodgy back.
Beware a wounded Djokovic though … the Serb comes straight back for 0-15, 0-30, 0-40, three break-back points. Djokovic gets the job done at the first time of asking and Moutet is giving himself a stern talking to. They’re back on serve in the third set and Djokovic is 6-3, 6-2, 3-4 ahead.
Djokovic is in a bit of discomfort, it looks as if he may have blisters, and he’s getting his left foot taped by the trainer. When he resumes he still doesn’t look happy, and drops 15-30 down on serve. He does lead 6-3, 6-2, 2-3, though. A second double fault of the match from Djokovic and it’s 30-40. Moutet broke Djokovic in the opening game but hasn’t done so since … but he does here with a winning drop shot! A smart tactic against an ailing opponent.
Kenin holds, which leaves Azarenka serving for the opening set at 5-3 … and Azarenka slides 0-40 down. Kenin breaks back to 15.
Fearnley is a game away from the first set against Humbert, leading 5-3, as is Azarenka against Kenin, leading 5-2. Fearnley doesn’t fancy waiting to serve it out; instead he’s got a set point on Humbert’s serve at 30-40. But the Brit can’t take it. Deuce. But Humbert coughs up two consecutive doubles! A second set point. Which Fearnley takes by painting the line with a forehand! Fearnley takes the first set 6-3.
