Bouzkova's a little bit rattled and it's funny isn't it because one or two points and you get into the head of your opponent.

She's started to think a little more about things so she's trying to stay calm but Fran Jones is making some progress here.

Francesca Jones reaches her first break points after Marie Bouzkova makes an unforced error with her forehand this time.

She absolutely has to take this chance.

Is this the opportunity for Francesca Jones?

A rare mistake on the backhand from Marie Bouzkova hands her 0-30 on the Czech's so far impenetrable serve.

Bouzkova is always in the right place. She's totally in command of this match and it's proving quite difficult for Fran Jones to make her feel uncomfortable out there.

The one thing you want to do is take away the strengths of an opponent but also get into their heads psychologically to make them doubt themselves a bit.

Just one hold of serve from five attempts so far from Francesca Jones, but she really must get another here if she is to have any chance of extending this match.

And she manages to do just that, as she follows up a big first serve with a forehand to get over the line.

Jones is being rushed again and it just feels like she's up against it. It's very hard to see gaps down the other end of the court.

It's taking such a lot for her to get on top of a point or really impose her game on Bouzkova.

Marie Bouzkova is everywhere - and rarely missing.

The Czech has made just five unforced errors across the 11 games in this contest, compared to 19 winners, as she holds to love for a 4-1 lead in the second set.

Francesca Jones has just not been allowed to get going at all here.

Francesca Jones hammers in a backhand winner to rescue the first break point, but hits long on the second.

Jones, one of only two British players still remaining in the singles competitions at this year's Roland Garros, is really up against it now.

The backhand has been an issue for Francesca Jones today, but it's a couple of misses off the forehand which leave her in trouble on serve at 0-30.

Jones then nets a backhand and Marie Bouzkova will have two break points.

Elena Rybakina has had a very good past few months, winning the end-of-year WTA Finals in 2025 and then winning the first major of 2026 - the Australian Open.

Rybakina is the second seed at Roland Garros but has never gone beyond the quarter-finals at the French Open.

Her second-round match against Ukraine's Yuliia Starodubtseva, the world number 55, is about to get under way on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

It's outstanding movement by Bouzkova and that's the hardest thing about playing against her.

It's not just the balls she gets back into play and the way she defends, but her ability to track down balls.

Oh, shot! Francesca Jones appears to be in charge of a rally but Marie Bouzkova is at full-stretch to knock a stunning forehand past her opponent.

The Czech is full of confidence here and, even as Jones' level begins to rise, the Briton can't match her opponent as Bouzkova slices a wonderful drop shot over on her way to a latest hold of serve.

Marie Bouzkova opts for a racquet change after Francesca Jones slams in a forehand winner to make a positive start on serve.

Bouzkova fires back with a fizzing backhand - but Jones lets out a huge roar a few points later as she finally gets on the scoreboard eight games in. Relief.

Marie Bouzkova follows up her serving glitch with a powerful, angled forehand winner as she battles back.

The Czech is alert to Francesca Jones' drop shot on the following point, and makes it four successive points to avoid any trouble here.

In the context of this match, that was a decent opportunity for the Briton.

Francesca Jones has spoken about her mentality, and how she will not be out-worked, so we know she is going to give this her best until the end of this match.

Marie Bouzkova has been excellent so far, but the Czech double-faults to give Jones a rare opportunity at 0-30 at the start of set two...

There's not a lot Jones could have done to be honest. Bouzkova's played a near-perfect set in this match.

The ball-striking is a little bit of a difference in what damage her ball's doing - she's pushing Jones into the corners and behind the baseline and she can't really play her game back there.

Jones isn't really getting a say.

Francesca Jones digs her heels in to save a first set point on her serve after Marie Bouzkova thumps in a forehand winner.

But this is relentless stuff from the clinical Czech, who quickly sets up another opportunity - and, this time, Jones misses.

Karen Khachanov has just come through a real marathon on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

The 13th seed finally got the better of Argentine Marco Trungelliti in four sets after a battle lasting three hours and 45 minutes.

The match should have finished half an hour earlier when Khachanov had match point at 5-4 up in the fourth set.

He just had to put away a simple smash at the net but shanked the ball, which came off the frame and flew up in the air in a way every recreational player will recognise.

Khachanov went on to win the tie-break at the end of the set but it meant another sweaty half-hour under the sweltering Paris sun.
