Novak Djokovic navigated a feisty French Open match against Valentin Royer, winning 6-3 6-2 6-7 (7-9) 6-3 despite crowd interference. The 39-year-old Serbian reacted to hostile supporters with finger-to-lips gestures and celebrated with his signature violin-playing racket move after advancing to face either Joao Fonseca or Dino Prizmic next.

World No 3 Iga Swiatek progressed despite 38 unforced errors, defeating Sara Bejlek 6-2 6-3. However, Elena Rybakina suffered a stunning second-round exit to Yuliia Starodubtseva 3-6 6-1 7-6 (7-4), despite rallying from 3-0 down in the final set. British player Fran Jones also fell in the second round to Marie Bouzkova.

Andrey Rublev survived a three-hour battle in Paris heat to advance, while Belinda Bencic became the first woman to reach the third round. Katie Boulter now stands as Britain's last remaining singles player after Jones' elimination, with the tournament continuing amid sweltering conditions at Roland-Garros.
