Brit out
Jack Draper was the first British player to depart this year’s French Open after his worst-ever major result by ranking.
The British No.2 dropped the F-bombs as he was eliminated 7-5 6-4 6-7 3-6 6-3 in more than four hours by unknown Dutch debutant Jesper de Jong, who has no previous form or history at this level of the sport.
Draper, 23, had to withdraw suddenly from this tournament 12 months ago due to an arm injury sustained after just one set of tennis.
Though there were no signs of physical setbacks, the Sutton southpaw did not fare much better on this occasion out on Court 12, gifting his opponent a shocking NINE double faults.
Had he progressed as he was favourite to do so, then he would have likely booked a second-round date with reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz.

More on Nadal's future
French Open tournament chief Amelie Mauresmo says the bunting and montage videos will be kept in storage for now.
The 2006 Wimbledon champion said: “We had something planned for him.
“But he told us that because he doesn’t know if it’s going to be his last Roland Garros, he wants to leave the door open for him maybe to come back next year as a player.
“So we’re not going to push him obviously to do anything.
“It’s his decision when he wants to have a proper ceremony or proper goodbye and proper farewell.
“So we’re not going to do it this year. That’s his wish.
“Even though we’re ready to push the button and something happens, we are obviously going to respect what he wants.
“And make sure we’re ready whenever he feels he wants to do it. Later this year, next year, anytime he wants. We’ll see what happens.”

Djokovic embarrassment
Novak Djokovic has revealed his embarrassment at his low expectation in winning the French Open this year.
Low expectations and high hopes," Djokovic's said when asked how he felt before Roland-Garros this year.
"It's tough to talk about. It's very subjective. I almost feel a bit embarrassed to say what my expectations are.
"Anything but a title for me is not satisfactory, it's always been like that. I know it might sound arrogant to a lot of people, but I think I have the career that backs it up.
"It's various things that were happening in the last couple of months, but I don't want to get into it. I hope you understand that. It's just I don't want to open Pandora's Box and talk about things."

STAN'S THE MAN Murray is beaten in straight sets by old foe in his final French Open matchCopied

Murray's reaction to defeat
I’m disappointed. It was always going to be a tough match.
“Stan, over the years, has played brilliant tennis on that court. He gave me very few opportunities. I didn’t have high expectations. I would have liked to have done better.
“Did the change of racquet play any factor? I don’t think so.
“In the last few years, I haven’t played a lot of clay-court tennis, I haven’t won a lot of matches.
“I don’t think it had much of a factor but it will also take a wee bit of time to get used to it. It’s different. There are positives to it. We will keep working on it.
“I told him well done for winning. We had a chat at the net. We have played and known each other for a long time.”

Wawrinka reaction to Murray win
My first words were respect for a great champion.
“I’ve loved watching Andy play, loved fighting against him. We’ve had a lot of fights over the last 15 years.
“We aren’t very young so we did all we could and remembered all these moments.
“I love to work in front of a crowd like this. I’ve shared a lot of emotion with this crowd and they gave me a lot of energy to fight. In my head I’m still a young guy, still a kid.
“It was emotional at the end. It was amazing to be playing on the night session. This was my best match of the year.
“Andy’s an amazing guy, an amazing player, such a big fighter. We have a lot of respect for each other.”

Murray 2-6 Wawrinka (0-3)
And that's it!
Wawrinka has defeated Andy Murray, who might just be appearing in his last ever French Open.
Murray got lucky early in the game, when a shot clipped the top of the net but dropped on Wawrinka's side.
That only riled Wawrinka up, who loves showing off that booming backhand down the line.
And of course, how does he finish the match? It's that brilliant back hand again down the line.

Murray 2-5 Wawrinka (0-2)
Fairplay. Murray has served the aces well and hits another one there.
It sets him up nicely to go 30-0 up. But Wawrinka hits a miracle shot, that might've sliced of the racket to clip the line with a bit of fortune.
Still, Murray is gritty. He wins that game to make Wawrinka serve for it.

But he quickly put it right with a monster serve to follow that up for the advantage.
Then he finishes it off with a powerful forehand through the middle of the court, with Murray second guessing it's placement.

Murray 3-5 Wawrinka (0-1)
Really good serving from Wawrinka.
He races to 40-0... however, just as we say that Stan fires his first double fault.
Commentators curse, eh?
Murray's perfect with another drop shot, which he's going to more and more. To be fair, he's got no chance on the baseline exchanges with Wawrinka.
Still, it wasn't to be. Wawrinka is a game away from a two set lead.

Murray 3-4 Wawrinka (0-1)
The crowd is in raptures after a brilliant rally.
It was befitting of an exhibition match, not the first round of Roland-Garros.
Murray's point to go 30-0 up. Wawrinka isn't playing like a man who's had two knee ops. He's after Murray, he's relentless, and it's 30-30.
Poor return from Wawrinka though gifts Murray the opportunity to win the game, which he does with a super smooth disguised drop shot.
