1800: Anyways, it's been an honour and a pleasure to text-commentate for you today, as always, but I must go. UK users, continue to watch the video stream of Maria Sharapova v Ksenia Pervak to your heart's content. See you tomorrow...

1755: Tomorrow's order of play is in and it looks like this... Chatrier: Venus, Federer, Monfils, Dementieva. Lenglen: Soderling, Tsonga, Rezai, Wozniacki. Court 1: Mayer-Benneteau, Kuznetsova, MURRAY, Li. So in a similar scenario to Monday, we estimate Murray will be on not before 1300 BST and probably later.

From anon via text: "Looks like the fluro's working for Rafa. Maybe he can borrow Agassi's pink dayglo cycling shorts from back in the day."

From Callum, Swindon via text: "Caroline, I'm 18 and re 1702: we don't say that. We would say he was a pretty nang player though!"

1749: Next up for Rafa Nadal: Argentine Horacio Zeballos, who came through an epic against Martin Fischer 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (8-10) 1-6 6-4 8-6. I'm tempted to ask whether it was really worth all the effort when the reward is to face the overwhelming title favourite... but hey-ho.

1746: Rafael Nadal - incredibly - hits his first winner of the set, a trademark whippy forehand onto the sideline, to bring up two match points. He takes the second when Mina's forehand lob drifts long. Nadal comes through 6-2 6-2 6-2.

1742: Gianni Mina a ras du bol (is fed up). It looks like his French Open debut is almost at an end as he drops serve to leave Rafa Nadal leading 5-2 in the third set. He shouldn't be fed up though. He's done himself the world of good out here this afternoon.

1733: Gianni Mina needs some treatment on a back problem now. He is down a break at 3-2 in the third set against Rafa Nadal. It's been a long match, considering the scoreline, and this is the 18-year-old's first Grand Slam match and only his second at this level - the first being in Nice last week.

From anon via text: "If Gianni Mina was playing against anyone else besides Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, he would have been in the second round."

1720: Oh yes, Nadal is wearing the watch. For those of you out of the loop, it's a limited edition Richard Mille timepiece, designed especially for the world number two. It is apparently worth £365,000 and weighs less than 20 grams. So there. Presumably, it's resistant to tennis balls and clay dust.

From ovoorigo on Twitter: "On another important fashion note - is Nadal wearing 'the watch'?"

1709: Starting to get blustery out there, and the BBC's Jonathan Overend is reporting rain on the way. They are pondering moving the French Open from Paris. Can I suggest Shepherds Bush? It's still glorious here.

Dinara Safina after her first-round exit: "I'll not give up. I'll have to swallow this loss and keep moving. I've been in worse situations. That's life. After the rain, the sun always shines."

1702: Rafael Nadal leads 6-2 6-2 against Gianni Mina after an hour and 39 minutes, which should go to show how close this match actually is. The Frenchman, as the young people say, has got game.

1658: Rafael Nadal now serving for a two-set lead, so it's probably safe to start looking ahead to his second-round match. That'll be against either Horacio Zeballos of Argentina or Austrian Martin Fischer. They're just kicking off a fifth set, which is very much not the way you want to warm up for a match against the world's best clay-court player.

1652: Gianni Mina threads another magnificent backhand down the line. Rafa would have been proud of that one. Nadal gets to it - but only just, and Mina can sweep the winner into the open court. The teenager trails 5-1 in the second set, which is very unfair, but that's Rafa for you.

1648: American Sam Querrey is another player not in the best of moods (although I imagine it's nothing compared to Dinara Safina's). The 18th seed lost to compatriot Robby Ginepri and said afterwards: "When I lost the second set tiebreaker and got broken in the first game, I was done. I wanted to be off the court. I started thinking about leaving and pulling out of the doubles and how much I wanted to go home, how much I wasn't enjoying... I've not been a professional the last, you know, on and off for the last few months. You're out there facing one opponent. I don't want to face the opponent and myself."

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery tweeting from Roland Garros: "Just been to Safina's presser. On her new coach: 'I don't care if he is doubles player, swimmer, ballet dancer... just understand tennis.'"

1638: You'll remember that Fernando Verdasco was an easy winner much earlier on today. In fact, the hardest part of his day might have been the news conference afterwards when he was grilled about his outburst in Nice on Saturday. The Spaniard was booed by the partisan crowd as he played Richard Gasquet in the final, and responded by swearing at them and then waving at them sarcastically. He got an OK reception in Paris today and said later: "No problem for me today. Of course you expect the worst all the time. If it's worst you're not going to be disappointed, not badly surprised." When asked about it again, he muttered: "Other question." He faces Frenchman Florent Serra in the next round... Good luck with that Nando.

1635: Don't forget to fire over your questions for BBC Red Button team Jonathan Overend and Sam Smith. Text 81111 or tweet me and I'll pass it on. You can ask anything (I can't guarantee that they'll answer everything though). Nadal takes the second of three break points when Mina mis-hits to lead 2-1 in the second set.

1627: Fabrice Santoro is part of Gianni Mina's support camp. It's about time he came out of retirement (again) isn't it? Another game goes to deuce, and this time Mina wins it to hold serve at the start of the second set.

1617: Gianni Mina has played an excellent first set here, and lost it 6-2. Welcome to Rafa's world. The 18-year-old has had break points in every Nadal service game, but the world number two has proved too tough a nut to crack. Entertaining stuff though. Good news also for Nadal's fellow Spaniard Dave Ferrer, who leads France's Dave Guez 6-1 6-3 on Court 2. Court Phillipe Chatrier are being treated to a masterclass by 13th seed Marion Bartoli, leading 6-2 1-0 against Maria Elena Camerin.

1612: Encouraging round of applause greets Gianni Mina's hold of serve which forces Nadal to serve out the set. Nadal's shirt is now getting a lot of love on the texts. "BRIGHT COLOURS ARE IN THIS SEASON," shouts Precious in Wolverhampton, rather unnecessarily.

From Andershow8 on Twitter: "Re 1549: All Slovenia is proud TODAY!"

1601: A fifth break point for Gianni Mina, but still he can't quite close it out, and Nadal now leads 5-1.

1559: Rafa's shirt is dividing the nation. I quite like it. That's my verdict. Gianni Mina continues to entertain with some explosive hitting, but Rafa Nadal continues to win the important points and now leads 4-1.

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery at Roland Garros: "Nadal getting some serious action (that means spin) on the ball early on, but not in total control. He might actually think he's playing Monfils."

From Debs via text: "Re 1537: Thanks Cheese! Was eagerly waiting for a reference to the fashions - need to be with the trends when I hit the courts. Is there anything to note with the spectators? Need to start preparing my Wimbledon wardrobe."
Queen's coming to Wimbledon this year. It's dresses and hats/fascinators all round

1549: Some more brutal hitting from Gianni Mina earns him two more break points, but clutch serving from Nadal makes it 3-1. Hold on, I've lost track of Eddy Schwank... Noooo... The late 70s/early 80s refugee (see 1433) has had to retire from his match against Slovenia's Blaz Kavcic. Still, what a day for Slovenia: two men into the second round of a Grand Slam, when they'd never had one before today.

From niannah on Twitter: "I think Rafa mail-ordered that shirt from 1988."

1542: Another huge cheer as Gianni Mina gets on the scoreboard, holding from deuce to trail 2-1 against Nadal. Super impressed by the teenager so far. Jonathan Overend, who has joined the BBC Red Button team this afternoon, points out that Mina's ranking of 655 makes him the French number 52. That world ranking would make him the British number 19.

1537: On to the more important matters: Rafa's clothing. Gone is the hot pink which proved such terrible luck last year. He's got white shorts, white socks, white trainers - and a multi-coloured blue/green T-shirt, topped off with a green bandana. Gianni Min wears a bright yellow sleeveless shirt and black shorts, making him look not unlike his fellow Frenchman Gael Monfils. Similar physique too.

1536: Gianni Mina has got a big bag of potential. He's managing to out-hit Nadal on occasions, his backhand a particular strength. The Spaniard is having to draw on those famous fighting qualities already, and he does so, saving three break-back points to open up a 2-0 lead.

Veteran tennis journalist Bud Collins on Twitter: "Dinara Safina's 16 double faults is two shy of Roland Garros women's record of 18."

1526: Gianni Mina gets a huge roar from the French fans as he threads a backhand pass up the line, but it's the only point he wins in his opening service game. Nadal with a break already at 1-0.

1523: Four-time champion Rafa Nadal is just getting under way against Gianni Mina, an 18-year-old making his French Open debut. I'd call this a tough draw for the Frenchman...

1518: Andy Roddick toughs it out against Jarkko Nieminen, coming through 6-2 4-6 4-6 7-6 6-3. The match ends on a disappointing note with a double fault from the Finn. Roddick simply looks up at his coach and raises a clenched fist. Good effort by the sixth seed in his first match since March.

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery at Roland Garros: "Nadal finally arrives on court, at 4.11pm on day three, to a huge reception on Lenglen. I don't get it. Didn't he lose last year?"

WTA Tour in Twitter: "WTA Trivia: Today Kimiko Date Krumm became the 2nd oldest player in the Open Era to win a match at Roland Garros since Virginia Wade in 1985."

Sports Illustrated writer Jon Wertheim on Twitter: "What weird candor from Sam Querrey. 'I wanted to be off the court.'...'I just tanked some points.'...'Mentally not there'."

1506: 39! That's how old Kimiko Date-Krumm is. Well done to her. She made her Roland Garros debut in 1989, when Dinara Safina was three. I can't help but feel a bit sad about Safina. That's all really. I hope she takes a break now.

1501: Ninth seed Dinara Safina goes out of the French Open in the first round, having reached the final the last two years. The Russian goes down 3-6 6-4 7-5 to Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm.

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery at Roland Garros: "I must say, Safina has an impressive knowledge of Spanish swear words. Do feel sorry for her though, she's better than this, but back trouble..."

1459: Andy Roddick breaks! The American runs around a second serve and unleashes a huge forehand return to make it 15-40, then a clever squash-shot forces Nieminen to net. He leads 3-2. Dinara Safina again serving to stay in it against Kimiko Date-Krumm.

1456: Dinara Safina makes it 5-5 against Kimiko Date-Krumm. Andy Roddick saves a break point to level it at 2-2 against Jarkko Nieminen.

From Milanou on Twitter: "Can you give a shout out to Grega Zemlja, who became the first Slovene to win a match at a Slam by beating 26th seed Juan Monaco?"

1450: Andy Roddick trying out a bit of sarcasm on a French ballboy there as he tries to get his drinks order in. Bit harsh. It's 1-1 in the fifth set there. Dinara Safina now serving to stay in the match against Date-Krumm... I fear there will be tears in that one.

1446: Venus and Serena Williams are having a relaxing day off from singles. They're spending it making thorough mincemeat of Kirsten Flipkens and Tamarine Tanasugarn, leading 6-0 4-1. Dinara Safina has been pegged back to 4-4 in the third set by Kimiko Date-Krumm. I bet the crowd who flocked to see Rafa Nadal in the next match on Lenglen are absolutely loving that drama.

1441: A reminder that you can get your questions to Red Button commentators Mark Petchey and John Lloyd via text on 81111 or just drop me a tweet and I'll pass it on.

1437: Andy Roddick comes through the tie-break 7-4 and takes Jarkko Nieminen into a fifth set. Dinara Safina leads Kimiko Date-Krumm 4-2 in the third, Nadal to follow that one.

The Schwank

1433: I think Eduardo Schwank is one of those people who has a million doppelgangers. Danny from Fame is definitely one of them. I've also heard mention of CHiPs. Basically, any TV programme from the late 70s/early 80s - and Gigi Fernandez. Ambitious forehand from Roddick goes out, but he leads this vital tie-break 5-4.

1428: Andy Roddick sees a set point come and go against Jarkko Nieminen and into a tie-break they go. Roddick must win this, or he's out.

From Jo, Manchester, via text: "I like Eduardo Schwank but don't you think he looks like Gigi Fernandez?!"

British number two Katie O'Brien on Twitter: "Gutted :-("

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery at Roland Garros: "I was about 20ft from a Safina scream just then - terrifying. Lenglen filling up fast now, not sure it's for a third set of this."

1415: Hello, where's Rafa then? Kicking his heels in the locker room, that's where. The return to form of Dinara Safina... is over. Kimiko Date-Krumm takes the second set 6-4 and they're into a decider on Lenglen. Sorry, Rafa fans. At least we get to see the name Date-Krumm for a while longer though.

1410: What a pleasure that has been. The Cheese is back. Replenished, the spring is back in her step and she's here. For you. Au revoir. (That's "See you later, I need some food" in French)

1356: Roddick keeps his eye in with another useful service game. 2-2 but 2-1 down in sets. A quick update on the Schwank-meister. The Argentine is serving to stay in the second set. Ms Cheese is fascinated with this boy and I can confirm - he is a fine looking man. Am I allowed to say that? The hair, the smile, the dark eyes. I'm thinking Chips - you know - the two US cops on bikes, 1970s. Cracking. He's got his work cut-out right now.

1352: Nadal may have to get his slippers back on. Safina's 4-4 after letting slip an early break in the second set. And now she's 4-5 down. Krumm is on it.

1349: Better news for the Americans - Robby Ginepri beats 18th seed Sam Querrey. Although both players are Americans so that would have been an even bigger upset if an American hadn't come through that one. Still a shock though. Ginepri comes through after losing the first set.

1344: The Finnish flags are flapping briskly in the Parisian breeze. Nieminen booms down an ace and wins the third set in 37 minutes. The sixth seed is looking a little shaky and has it all to do.

1340: A very sweaty A-Rod is fighting hard. 0-30 down and 3-5 down in the third set and his serve gets him out of trouble. On the subject of lookalikes, Nieminen's got a touch of the Bradley Wiggins about him. Just a thought. And Roddick saves it. He's still a break down though and Nieminen's now serving for the third set. Crunch time for the American.

1336: Is there anybody out there who attended the non-alcoholic cocktail party near the Eiffel tower yesterday? Looked a useful occasion. If a little low-key.

1332: Right, let's have a little sweep-up of the other courts. Roddick's a break down in the third set and trails 3-4 to Nieminen. And what about Melzer eh? The 22nd seed is two sets up over Israel's Sela and it's 3-3 in the third. I'll give myself a score of 7.5/10 for that quick round-up.

1329: For everybody wondering who "I" am, you had better ask my mother for a full breakdown but I'm Mark Ashenden. I'm not Caroline Cheese. Ummmm - that's about it really. Fear not, full Cheese coverage to return shortly. In the mean time, Safina is a break up in the second set at 2-1. (Rafa's up afterwards as you may know)

1322: Afternoon. Yep - it's true. While Ms Cheese strolls off for a potato du jacket (that's French for jacket spud - probably) I'm filling the hotseat for a few moments. What's going on then?....

1317: Ninth seed Dinara Safina is well on her way at 6-3 2-0 against Kimiko Date-Krumm on Lenglen, which means Rafa-time is imminent. I'm off for a quick sandwich. I shall try not to drop any krumms. Mark Ashenden is flexing his fingers... Ooh, Eduardo Schwank pockets the first set against Blaz Kavcic.

1307: Andy Roddick drops the second set against a much-improved Jarkko Nieminen, much to the disappointment of four bare-chested boys with A-N-D-Y painted on their chests. Let's hope they didn't hear Roddick's potty-mouthed outburst as he sat down at the changeover.

1259: Away from Schwank-world, things have gone a bit awry for Andy Roddick, who is a break down at 5-3 in the second set against Jarkko Nieminen. Kimiko Date-Krumm fighting back against against Dinana Safina and has pegged the Russian back to 5-3.

1252: Funny you should ask, Laura, funny you should ask. Eddy Schwank, whose ATP profile picture makes him look like one of the Kids from Fame, has just started his Paris campaign against Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia. We'll keep an eye on the Argentine, don't you worry.

From Laura in Blackpool via text: "Caroline, I know I always ask this, but any sign of Eduardo Schwank at Roland Garros this year?"

1243: I'd imagine you some of you might have been looking at Dinara Safina-Kimiko Date Krumm and smelling an upset. Safina, the former world number one, is still troubled by a back injury and has generally been in fairly dreadful form - but she has opened up an impressive 5-0 lead over the wonderfully-named Japanese veteran over on Lenglen. On serve in the second set between Nieminen and Roddick at 3-3.

From FluffyMrKittyKitty on 606: "Verdasco was pretty impressive but he has a tough draw. He'll probably make it through far enough to go down to Rafa in straight sets."

BBC 5 live's Jonathan Overend tweeting from Roland Garros: "Katie O'Brien whacked her racquet bag pretty fiercely at the end. She let the momentum swing back to her opponent after a decent second."

1228: Great pick-up from Andy Roddick, chasing a drop shot and flicking it away for a winner. That earns him the first set 6-2. Surprisingly easy for a player who doesn't like clay and is playing his first match since March. Jarkko Nieminen hasn't been in good form of late, and that doesn't look like changing today. The Finn has only won seven matches at ATP level this year.

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery tweeting from Roland Garros: "O'Brien loses 6-0 4-6 6-2, and 34 forehand errors do for her. Craybas is super fit for a woman of, er, advanced tennis years. Could play on."

From Ben in Carlisle, trying to work out if the County Council has a statutory duty to respond to National Park consultation, via text: "Re text below 1215: What does Sylvia sell?"
Dunno, but no point rushing down there. The discount's off...

1217: Over to you then, Andy. British number two Katie O'Brien loses 6-0 4-6 6-2 to wily American Jill Craybas. At least she'll have bragging right over Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong, having won a set in Paris. All three will be hoping for a lot better on the green, green grass of home.

1215: Seventh seed Fernando Verdasco strolls into the second round with a 6-4 6-2 6-2 win over Russian Igor Kunitsyn, a scoreline that should please fans of equal numbers. All going very nicely for Andy Roddick, who has opened up a 4-1 lead in no time at all. The end, I'm afraid, is nigh for Katie O'Brien, who trails Jill Craybas 5-2 in the third set.

From Sylvia in Alnwick via text: "Working in sales at work today. We must be the only people not supporting Katie as we've offered 5% discount to customers who order within an hour of a British victory. Could be a costly afternoon..."

1211: Now to celebrate the arrival of Andy Roddick and Jarkko Nieminen on Chatrier, there's been a substitution in the BBC commentary box. The magnificent John Lloyd has joined Mark Petchey. Get your questions to 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (worldwide) or just tweet me and I'll pass it on.

BBC Sport's Piers Newbery tweeting from Roland Garros: "Right old battle out here on Court 4, O'Brien hanging in. Both players in the back fence to deal with spin, Nadal couldn't play on here."

1203: Katie O'Brien is a break down in the third set against Jill Craybas. Don't give up, Brit fans. KOB is a fighter. Dudi Sela really will be moody. He's already a break down against Austrian 22nd seed Jurgen Melzer.

From George in Bradford, via text: "Stuck in music trying to keep up with today's scores. Come on A-Rod!"
Actually stuck in music? What sort of music you stuck in? Hope it's not experimental jazz

1149: Anyway, Daft Punk fades out as Andy Roddick and Jarkko Nieminen take to Court Philippe Chatrier. Roddick played precisely no matches on clay as he built up to his least favourite Grand Slam of the year. Indeed, the American, who has only once got past the third round in Paris, hasn't played since winning the Miami Masters in March.

1146: Last year, the BBC Red Button team went for Air as their between-match music. This year, it's Daft Punk. I'm willing to bet that it'll be Justice in 2011. Or Johnny Hallyday.

1139: Justine Henin comes through 6-4 6-3 against Tsvetana Pironkova. That was a perfect work-out for the former champion against a very capable opponent. Over on Lenglen, seventh seed Fernando Verdasco is cruising at 6-4 6-2 against Igor Kunitsyn. Meanwhile, 'Moody' Dudi Sela, a favourite of here at BBC Sport, is just starting his opening match against Jurgen Melzer.

From Andrew in Newcastle, via text: "You have to feel that Gasquet yesterday after the break back in the third set was probably thinking to himself les carrottes sont cuites."
English equivalent: goose is cooked, the game is up? Something like that

1132: Take that, Katie O'Brien doubters... The British number two has levelled the match at one set all against Jill Craybas, breaking for a second time to take the second set 6-4 after losing the first 6-0, and she now has a much better chance of ending up du bon côté du manche (on the winning side).

1126: An "allez" and a "come on" in the same breath from Henin as she saves three break points to make it 3-3 against Pironkova. Gloomy news from Court 4 where Katie O'Brien has let her break advantage slip and now leads 5-4 in the second set.

1118: Hmmm... Bit of a surprise on Chatrier as Pironkova breaks back. The Bulgarian isn't going away just yet and she leads 3-2 in the second set. Katie O'Brien now 5-2 up in the second against Jill Craybas, one game away from taking the old lady into a third set. Nice 6-1 6-1 win for Daniela Hantuchova over Tamarine Tanasugarn.

1111: Katie O'Brien breaks in the second set against Jill Craybas in the second set and leads 4-2. Craybas is a frankly ancient 35 years old and is playing her 14th season as a pro. She surely won't last three sets...

InfostradaLive on Twitter: "Henin has not lost a set in her last 17 matches at Roland Garros."

1105: Incroyable. A mystery person has just emailed me some French tennis phrases, which I shall try to share with you as we go on. I'm suddenly hoping that someone, somewhere, at Roland Garros is going to have other fish to fry. Henin already 2-0 up in the second set against Pironkova. Next up on this court: Andy Roddick against Jarkko Nieminen.

1057: Still far from easy for four-time champion Justine Henin, but she's on her way now, closing out the first set 6-4 after a couple of deuces. She hasn't lost a set at Roland Garros since 2005. Elsewhere, Fernando Verdasco is serving for the first set against Russian Igor Kunitsyn. And GOOD NEWS from Court 4 where Katie O'Brien leads Jill Craybas 2-1 in the second set after a bagel first.

1049: In answer to Matt's text earlier: morning Matt, the BBC Bouton Rouge plans for today are Henin-Pironkova, Mina-Nadal, Roddick-Nieminen. I knew I'd find some more French words from somewhere (mainly the fella opposite me who turns out to be fluent).

From anon via text: "Katie O'Brien: 24 unforced errors in six games. Just not good enough unfortunately."

1045: The latecomers at Roland Garros are missing some fine tennis on Court Philippe Chatrier. Pironkova is still fighting, and showing off a very classy backhand - although clearly nothing on the one the other side of the net. Henin leads 5-3. Katie O'Brien fans, look away now. The British number two drops the opening set against Jill Craybas 6-0.

From Matt via text: "Morning Cheesy, could you be so kind as to inform as to which matches the BBC will be covering?"

1036: Sam Smith and Mark Petchey are currently worrying about the state of Tsvetana Pironkova's second serve. It ain't great. Henin gets to 0-40 and three break points, Pironkova does well to peg her back, but the Belgian isn't to be denied and now leads 4-3 with a break. Over on Court 4, lots of games going to deuce but Katie O'Brien can't seem to win any of them and trails Jill Craybas 5-0.

1030: Wanna have your name read out on the telly? Here's one way to do it: send a question or comment for the BBC Red Button team (Sam Smith and Mark Petchey at the moment) to 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666, or tweet me and I'll pass it on.

1024: Henin swats away a winning smash to level it at 2-2 against Pironkova, who is the daughter of a former canoe champion and a former swimming champion. Not great news for Katie O'Brien over on Court 4, who is already 3-0 down against Jill Craybas.

1016: Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova is Justine Henin's opponent on Court Phillippe Chatrier and the world number 81 makes a decent start too, holding her opening service game, but Henin hits back with a hold to 30 - featuring two "allez"s.

1010: The Daily Mail appear to have learned more French than me. Yes indeed. Here's how they describe yesterday's drama on Court Suzanne Lenglen: "Andy Murray spent four hours and four minutes on Monday trying to haunt Richard Gasquet with that most felicitous French phrase: deja vu." The Daily Telegraph suggest that "perhaps next time Murray should just leave the locker room imagining that he is two sets down", while the Times compares Murray to a tree: "The transformation of Murray from a teenage sapling with a tendency to wilt in the breeze to sturdy professional oak was further demonstrated... yesterday." Fair enough. And while the Sun fret about Murray "putting his fans through the wringer" when it's not even Wimbledon yet, the Guardian calls the match "the Battle of Wounded Knees" in which "Murray's right ultimately proved to be in better shape than Gasquet's left". More on Murray's wonky knee later.

1004: And here is Justine Henin and she receives a rapturous reception on her long-awaited return to Roland Garros from the 23 people who have managed to show up on time at Court Philippe Chatrier.

1000: Ah bonjour to you. I'm already starting to fear I will run out of French words before week one is out. Oh, hang on, I already have. Tant pis! Anyway, top-drawer start to the day in Paris where we'll see Justine Henin play her first match at Roland Garros since winning the title three years ago, while on Court 4, Britain's last remaining female participant (in singles) Katie O'Brien is up against veteran American Jill Craybas.
