1017: Just before kick-off on Chatrier, the camera pans to Venus’s mum Oracene, who looks like she’d rather be anywhere but sitting in a drafty, near-empty tennis stadium in Paris. Arms folded, face glum. Venus’s outfit, by the way, is a sort of burlesque number. Black and lacy dress, with a red trim, and flesh-coloured pants. Many would not get away with it. Venus does, just about.
1012: Coming up later, Roger Federer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Caroline Wozniacki, Svetlana Kuznetsova are all in action… and then of course there’s Andy Murray up against Juan Ignacio Chela in the third match on Court One. He’s not the only Brit in action either. Elena Baltacha, Ross Hutchins, Jonny Marray, Jamie Murray all play today. First up, British women’s doubles number one Sarah Borwell partners American Raquel Kops-Jones over on Court 9, taking on Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik.
1007: Venus Williams strolls onto Court Philippe Chatrier. The in-form second seed, wearing a rather - erm - risque outfit this year, is up against Spain’s Arantxa Parra Santonja this morning. Over on Lenglen, last year’s finalist Robin Soderling takes on American Taylor Dent.
1000: Hello again. Don’t worry, you haven’t woken up a month in the future, it’s not Wimbledon yet - but I do have worrying SW19-worthy weather news from BBC Sport’s Piers Newbery,who tweets:“Torrential rain in Paris last night and woke up to threatening grey skies, but dry for now. Murray set for 1300-1400 BST-ish, fingers crossed.”
