    Really pleased for Petra Kvitova, winning her first match back after that horrendous hand injury

    Dan Evans is on ITV4 (Channel 120 on Sky) against Robredo.

    Just broke Robredo's serve for a 6-5 lead in the first set.

    Robredo wins the second set. One each now.

    Evans breaks back from 3-1 down. On serve in the third. Evans is more Henman than Murray as my other half said...

    For god's sake they're both playing like 6 year old girls.

    Ridiculous scheduling Nadal and Djokovic to play at the same time.

    My new favourite lady tennis player is Kristina Mladenovic. She is not a bad tennis player either.

    It's her doubles partner Caroline Garcia for me.

    Let's see if AM can do better than his last few performances.

    Disappointing. Clay isn't her best surface, but you'd have hoped her overall form and experience would be enough to get a decent run in a very open French open

    Andy struggling in 2nd set again. He should be rolling over these guys.

    Painful to watch. One set all against a very poor opponent

    Murray cruises through, winning 4th set 6-0

    I really like Murray but he don't half wind me up

    Murray has being hitting the ball like a girl all year. So many of his standard forehand shots are landing tamely around the service line. Watching Edmunds at the moment and he hits rockets with his forehand. I get the sense that most of the top players are hitting the ball significantly harder than Murray these days.

    Can't see him winning anything in this kind of form.

    Saying that, he went two sets down against Stepanek in round 1 last year and took five sets to beat a French WC in round 2. Then he played himself into some form and won 13 sets out of 15 on a run into the final. Ended up being the catalyst to his Wimbledon win.

    I'm hoping he can do something similar this year.

    He had an elbow injury earlier in the year.

    Can't help but think he may not have fully recovered from it which could account for his comparative lack of power.

    Kyle Edmund is through in straight sets. Will probably play Tsonga in the next round.
