We're well into the swing of things at the French Open with the second round beginning today, and some huge names are being pitted against each other already.

23:59 CET - That'll be all from the Tennis Tracker today. Stanislas Wawrinka (39) is still currently on court, trailing two sets to one against Pavel Kotov (25). Tune back in tomorrow to find out the result!

23:57 CET - Jannik Sinner (22) has ended the hopes of home favourite Richard Gasquet (37), defeating his opponent 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in just over two hours.

20:33 CET - Defending champion Iga Swiatek (22) has somehow overcome Naomi Osaka (26) in a French Open classic, winning 7-6(1), 1-6, 7-5 in exactly three hours. Swiatek trailed 2-5, 0-30 in the final set, but somehow found a way to fight back and claim a thrilling win against a player who has notoriously struggled on clay, but put in a stunning performance. However, her game seemingly fell away in the final 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, Coco Gauff (20) also progressed, beating Tamara Zidansek (26) 6-3, 6-4.

18:48 CET - Sixth seed Andrey Rublev (26) is through to the next round thanks to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 win over Pedro Martinez (27).

18:20 CET - Rain continues to pour down at Roland Garros, so much so that all of the matches not taking place in one of the two roof-equipped stadiums have been cancelled for the day. 

As a result, there are 23 singles matches that will need to be rescheduled, and with tomorrow's weather forecast not looking good, things could get tricky...

17:11 CET - Despite a minor hiccup in the third set, Carlos Alcaraz (21) has beaten Jesper De Jong (23) 6-3, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to advance to the third round.

The Spanish third seed was the heavy favourite going into the match but the Dutchman, ranked 176 in the world, made Alcaraz work for the win.

12:10 CET - Rain in Paris has been wreaking havoc all week and that's already the case again today, with play currently suspended on all outside courts due to wet weather. 

10:55 CET - The second round of the French Open is about to get started, with Stefanos Tsitsipas (25) and Marketa Vondrousova (24) among those taking to the court as we speak. 

Things will only get better after that, with the clashes below all to come this afternoon and evening.
