Kei Nishikori, who will play the winner of this match, is off to a flyer on Suzanne Lenglen – he’s taken the first set 6-3 against Russia’s Taymuraz Gabashvili.
We’ve also had confirmation, to nobody’s great surprise, that the final matches scheduled for both of the main courts have been postponed – so Safarova v Sharapova and Pennetta v Muguruza will take place tomorrow.
Also tomorrow – Rafael Nadal remains on collision course with Novak Djokovic, but will poor Rafa even get that far? Clay-loving American Jack Sock has other ideas, says Stephanie Myles.
