Not such a good day for the British contingent in Paris:-

Filip Horansky d Jay Clarke, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3
Richel Hogenkamp d Samantha Murray Sharan 6-3, 6-4

Jodie Burrage (in her first ever Grand Slam match) is currently 5'7, 0'4* to Bara.

Bara d Burrage 7'5, 6'3 but at least Jodie started to fight back.

LADIES FQR:
31st Q seed Harriet Dart will play Liang En Shuo TPE WR 295 (CH 150 in 2019)
for a place in the main draw (the other seed in this section retired against Liang in QR1).

Shame for Liam. I guess he could return to the UK now and start on the grass ...

[Hawkeye]

No Brits through qualifying, as Harriet loses 6-2 6-2. Outside chance of an LL spot I suppose.
