Of course, right after launch Zverev breaks back to love while on Lenglen the score sits at 2-2 in the fourth. Carreno Busta leads two sets to one and stays close to Jodar who fires a backhand cross-court. When the ball returns he angles a forehand winner and fires up the crowd with two break points now available. He converts the first as the veteran nets and the match edges toward a deciding set.

Oh yes! Down 3-0 at 40-30 Zverev fails to close game point with two volleys as the third sails long and the contest turns compelling. The hold arrives quickly afterward yet De Jong continues to press with speed around the court and willingness to approach the net.

Action begins at Wembley. Join Earl Rob Smyth for coverage there.

Carreno Busta restores shoulder movement for now and holds to reach 2-1 1-0. Jodar strikes the cleaner shots however and the outcome remains open.

Trailing 30-40 in his opening service game Zverev who defeated De Jong here last year blasts an unreturnable serve down the middle. On advantage though he drags a backhand wide and the underdog leads 2-0.

Carreno Busta summons the physio for his right shoulder while on Chatrier De Jong aged 26 today holds to lead Zverev 1-0. He understands Zverev faces immense pressure after a heavy loss to Sinner in the 2025 Australian Open final. With the top seeds eliminated including Djokovic a rare chance appears yet nerves run high.

Jodar serves out to love and after dropping nine straight games has captured five in succession. Carreno Busta leads 6-4 6-4 1-6. Tension builds.

Jodar surges through the third set and serves for it at 5-1. Carreno Busta shows signs of fatigue as expected for a seasoned player unable to maintain peak intensity throughout.

Correction: the De Jong versus Zverev match listed not before 3.30 is in CET not BST so the players emerge onto Chatrier.

Attention now. Jodar reaches 15-40 Carreno Busta sends a backhand long and the break arrives. He trails 2-0 yet leads 3-1 overall in the set.

Back on Lenglen Carreno Busta leads Jodar 6-4 6-4 1-1. A down-the-line pass brings deuce but Jodar serves out for 2-1 in the third. Beyond the nine-game skid he has performed solidly and that resilience was unexpected given his serve and mindset.

During the interval TNT airs Swiatek press conference. She stresses her deep care for the event and explains she tried every approach yet could not manage the situation. She vows to learn and improve. Observers wonder how she might relax since the drive that elevated her now seems to hinder her. Mats suggests she must reclaim her playing identity by easing power and adding spin as she appears uncertain of her current style.

Next on Chatrier: Jesper de Jong versus Alexander Zverev (2). Scheduled no earlier than 3.30pm CET so roughly an hour remains.

Fabrice Santoro sends happy Mother Day wishes to Svitolina his mother and all mothers. Svitolina includes Bencic noting the wonder of facing childhood rivals now as parents. She stayed focused on tactics and fighting spirit entering with a positive mindset and remaining mentally sharp through tough moments. Regarding Kostyuk she predicts an exciting Ukrainian showdown with last-four spots assured. The achievement inspires amid challenges following the invasion with many strong players rising in the top 100.

Carreno Busta serves out to lead Jodar 6-4 6-4. After mostly competing on Challengers this year he eyes a third Roland-Garros quarter-final.

Elina Svitolina (7) defeats Belinda Bencic (11) 4-6 6-4 6-0

Svitolina avoided panic after the early deficit increased aggression and watched her opponent fade. She next faces Marta Kostyuk. A promising matchup awaits.

At 30-15 Carreno Busta nets a backhand while Bencic fades further and on advantage faces match point.

Jodar holds forcing Carreno Busta to serve for the second set at 6-4 5-4. Svitolina also holds forcing Bencic to serve to stay in the match at 6-4 4-6 5-0.

Bencic has faded once more as she has often done. Svitolina breaks again to lead 4-0 in the third and the match nears its end.
