Choinski has given a walkover

Hope he's OK

But at least he won his match first

really darn - and on the cusp of the top 100 as well, one more win may have done it.

At least he is in Wimbledon as of right - fingers crossed he get's fit quickly

I only watched last game and tiebreak of first set of Fery match. Is Martinez always this SLOW? Makes Rafa look positively rapid

Also quite feisty - had quite a heated end to his last match

Very gutsy play by Felix - he deserved that second set

He's a prima donna - can't serve coz there's some twitch in a crowd on the other side of Paris

Brave performance, kept the belief, defended break points well in some long games and all despite the crowd backing Goffin. Well done Toby - a good match to watch and exciting prospect for the rest of this season.

stevemcqueen - have you tried this link?

Works for me but a bit unreliable. Often have to refresh or change which option works best - 2 has been more consistent for me this week.

Goldfish, thanmkyou for that! I figured that a VPN would be a solution to allow me to watch France TV, but spemding cash on a VPN for which I have no other use apart from this year's Roland Garros doesn't make much sense. I could just pay £35 for a single month of TNT Sport. I have been stung by monthly subscriptions not being cancelled as they should have been. I like TennisTV.com though - only £8 for a whole month, and I love watching Challengers from the ATP site.

Let us hope that we have more matches to watch this week!

So pleased for Toby - keep it going smile

He got into some contretemps with his QR1 opponent, Japanese player, that was quite unsavoury - threatening to see him in the car park etc, biggrin

Felix had a couple of match points when Molcan served at 5-6 and now into a final set tie-break (he was 4-0 up in the breaker but now 5-5).

Arthur is a break down in the third set.

That was soooooo close! After so many close matches that led to Ls, it's good to see a Brit come out on top of one.
