A classic return from Novak Djokovic, taking the ball early and sending it down the line for a winner - how many times have we seen that over the years?

A long rally results in Valentin Royer losing patience and firing a forehand long - it's set point Djokovic.

But the Frenchman does well to dodge the danger and then sends a beautiful backhand down the line to hold.

A brilliant contest by the end of it. Jones could have easily been out of it 6-0 6-1 and that's the way it was heading but she did an unbelievable job to take it to a tie-break and almost very nearly took the second set.

She got a little tight herself when she was trying to take that second set under her belt but she certainly caused enough problems for Bouzkova.

You have to admire Jones' attitude on the court - she has a plucky spirit, she fights, she scraps and has a beautiful slice backhand. Bouzkova was certainly made to earn that victory.

Francesca Jones' exit leaves Katie Boulter as the only British player remaining in the singles competitions at Roland Garros.

Boulter takes on 28th seed Anastasia Potapova tomorrow.

For Jones, achieving a first ever win at a Grand Slam means this will remain a memorable tournament, especially after the struggles she has had this year following her freak gym accident.

Novak Djokovic is ahead but doesn't seem to be enjoying the conditions hugely. Serving into the sun, he aborts a couple of ball tosses and mutters at his box.

Yet it's another routine game for the Serb, who holds to love, and is now just one game from taking the opening set.

Elena Rybakina might have won the first set, but she's struggling out on Court Suzanne Lenglen at the minute.

The reigning Australian Open champion has hit 28 unforced errors and is playing way below her best level.

Yuliia Starodubtseva has won five of the last six games and gone a break up early in the second set.

A wild forehand approach shot by Valentin Royer hands Novak Djokovic three break points.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion needs just one, using all the stretchiness of his elastic body to defend before launching an attack, which results in him passing Royer and earning the first break of the match.

Marie Bouzkova arrives at match points after sticking away another winner.

Both of these girls have been able to respond to each other's slice shots. Some players can't do that but both of these players have the ability to knife it back.

Marie Bouzkova celebrates a mis-hit by Francesca Jones, as the Czech recovers from 3-1 down to lead the tie-break with a third successive point.

Make that four. A lengthy rally is ended when Bouzkova swats a cross-court forehand out of Jones' reach.

No sign of Valentin Royer being overawed by the occasion.

The Frenchman gets to deuce on the Novak Djokovic serve but the three-time Roland Garros champion slams the door on danger.

A miss from Marie Bouzkova gives Francesca Jones the early advantage in the tie-break, but the Briton's big swing at a forehand from the baseline doesn't pay off and the players head for the change of ends all square.

Francesca Jones keeps the tie-break on serve by soaking up some pressure before burying an impressive forehand into the back of the court.

What a topsy-turvy set this is!

Marie Bouzkova dusts herself down again to deny Francesca Jones and reach a tie-break, breaking to 15.

Who comes out on top here is anyone's guess...

Valentin Royer comes under a bit of pressure on his serve, with Novak Djokovic taking him to deuce.

However, the Frenchman keeps the third seed at bay and we remain on serve in the first set.

Francesca Jones can't take her first break point - but Marie Bouzkova presents another one to the Briton with yet another double fault.

And that's long from the Czech!

A fourth break of serve in the past five games leaves Jones once again serving for a third set showdown.

Elena Rybakina raced into a 5-1 lead in the opening set of her match and although she was broken with her first attempt to serve out the set, she gets it done at the second time of asking.

The second seed had to save a couple of break points in that decisive game, though.

Novak Djokovic looks comfortable as he edges ahead in the opening stages of the match.

It's a decent crowd in Philippe-Chatrier, and so far there seems to be a fairly even spread of support - some for the 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, others for local boy Valentin Royer, who comes from Paris.

Frustration for Marie Bouzkova, who double-faults on game point.

And that could prove very costly, too, as Francesca Jones forces her way to a break point...

Valentin Royer is playing only his second Roland Garros and his opening-round win was his first-ever victory at the French Open.

Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, is looking for his 103rd win here.

But it's an impressive first service game from 24-year-old Royer, who drops just one point as he holds.
