In the marquee matchup of the day, Stan Wawrinka has defeated Andy Murray in straight sets, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.

Elsewhere, French native Corentin Moutet has upset 16th-ranked Nicolas Jarry 6-2, 6-1, 3-6, 6-0, much to the delight of the home fans at Roland Garros. And American Sebastian Korda has beaten Harold Mayot 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4, while Kei Nishikori has eliminated Gabriel Diallo in five sets after surrendering a 2-0 lead.

Finally, American qualifier Katie Volynets has just closed out a straight-sets victory over Aleksandra Krunic.

As for live scores:

• Jule Niemeier is leading Wang Xiyu 4-1 in their decisive third set
• Daniel Altmaier is leading Laslo Djere two sets to one but is trailing in the fourth set 3-1
• Terence Atmane is similarly leading Sebastian Ofner two sets to one but trailing in the fourth set 5-1

Corentin Moutet, we love you — but you aren't exactly known for your mental fortitude. Until now?

Nicolas Jarry took the third set on a rollicking Simonne-Mathieu, and it looked as if Moutet's momentum might stall.

It wasn't to be. Moutet broke with some stunning tennis to take a 2-0 lead, and even a highly contentious line call in his following service game didn't distract him.

He moves 3-0 ahead in the fourth set, and is three games away from what would be a typically flamboyant — but strong — victory

He's two sets down to old rival Stan Wawrinka. You can follow live coverage of Wawrinka vs Murray from The Athletic at our dedicated blog.

World No 26 Barbora Krejcikova is out in the first round, going down to Viktorija Golubic, who is ranked 48 places below her at No 74.

World No 88 Martina Trevisan is also in danger of suffering a defeat to a lower-ranked player, down a set and a break to world No 125 Olga Danilović.

Elsewhere, Nicolas Jarry is one game away from taking the third set against Corentin Moutet, and Kei Nishikori quickly dropped two sets to Gabriel Diallo, with that match going to a fifth. Nishikori has the best win percentage of any player on the ATP tour in five-set matches, but he's struggling physically and may not be able to endure another.

0-3, 40-40 is not the time most players would pull out an underarm serve, but most players aren't Corentin Moutet.

He stops the rot to go 1-3, though Nicolas Jarry then hits one of the most remarkable overhead blind-fluke shots I have ever seen to go 15-0 up in the next game

You can't take your eyes off this one.

Nicolas Jarry is already having a bad day. He doesn't need a ballkid running into him at full pelt and knocking him to the dirt, coating his back in red brick dust and leaving him in a heap.

Well, sorry Nicolas: that's exactly what has happened.

After two sets, it looked as though highly rated Sebastian Korda would stroll past Harold Mayot of France.

Well, Mayot said "non." and has taken the third set to 4-4.

Elsewhere, Gabriel Diallo has nicked a set off Kei Nishikori, Daniel Altamaier is a set and a break up on Laslo Djere, and Terence Atmane leads Sebastian Ofner.

In the women's draw, Tamara Zidansek leads Alison van Uytvanck; Barbora Krejcikova is a set up on Viktorija Golubic; and Olga Danilović leads Martina Trevisan 4-1.

Moutet? He's broken Jarry again to lead 4-1.

We told you to expect fireworks, and boy, they are exploding. Underarm serves, a hostile crowd, a sunken court — Corentin Moutet vs Nicolas Jarry was always going to be spectacular, and Moutet is absolutely feeding off it. He's up 6-2 and the crowd are more than playing their part.

Jarry, dare I say it, looks completely rattled.

Two matches have completed in past half hour:

• Chloe Paquet clinched a home victory over Russian Diana Shnaider, 6-3, 6-1.
• Denmark's Clara Tauson beat Germany's Tatjana Maria 6-2, 6-3.

Simonne-Mathieu is perhaps the most idyllic court at Roland Garros, sunken behind a greenhouse that snakes around the perimeter.

It can also be a bear pit, and that's what Chile's Nicolas Jarry probably has to expect tonight against Corentin Moutet.

This encounter is already likely to be combustible: Jarry reached the final in Rome with a seriously impressive run, while Moutet has already been part of the wildest match of 2024 so far.

But when they played on Jarry's turf in Santiago in March, the fans were on Moutet's case — too much, according to his coach, Petar Popovic. Popovic has discussed that meeting in the run-up to this one, and, well, he isn't exactly calming things down. Speaking to Sasa Ozmo at Tennis Majors, he said:

"All in all – Sunday, he (Jarry) is fu**ed! He made his own bed. We won that match in Santiago, but we were so disgusted with everything that we even had a conversation: ’When he comes to Paris, there will be hell waiting’. And I really hope that the hell will await, so that Jarry grows sick of tennis at least for a few weeks."

Woof.

After 33 games, the 34th sees a first break of serve, and Richard Gasquet moves in to the second round at his home Grand Slam.

As gruelling a straight-sets victory as they come, but he, and the crowd on Suzanne Lenglen, aren't going to mind one bit.

With Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka soon to face off in the night session on Philippe Chatrier, let's take a look around the courts in Paris. Don't forget that The Athletic has live coverage dedicated to that first-round barnstomer...

• After 32 games, Court Suzanne Lenglen still hasn't seen a break of serve, but they won't mind: home favourite Richard Gasquet is up two sets and 4-4 against Borna Coric of Croatia.
• Kei Nishikori leads Gabriel Diallo 7-5, 3-3 with proceedings on serve in the second.
• In-form Chilean Alejandro Tabilo is serving for a two-set lead over Belgium's Zizou Bergs.
• American Sebastian Korda is rather spoiling things against Frenchman Harold Mayot, up a double break with a 4-1 lead.
• Fabian Marozsan of Hungary leads Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin with their first set ending 6-2.
• Wang Xiyu and Bai Zhuoxuan of China are in a tight battle, with the former leading by a set but currently serving to stay in the second.
• Chloe Paquet is closing in on a home victory over Russian Diana Shnaider, leading 6-3, 5-1.
• Clara Tauson is similarly close to victory, with the Dane leading Germany's Tatjana Maria 6-2, 4-3.

Three-time Roland Garros quarter-finalist Kei Nishikori is here, and he's made a good start against Canada's world No 129 Gabriel Diallo, to move up 7-5 and take a one-set lead.

For a while there, it looked as if smiling assassin Eva Lys was going to wreck Philippe Chatrier's world and take out their woman, Caroline Garcia.

She won the first set with a display of controlled aggression, and pushed Garcia's serve hard in the second, aided by some flashing misses from the French player, but eventually the gulf in class told.

Garcia wins 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, and moves on to face Sofia Kenin in a pretty heavyweight clash for a second-round contest.

Alexandre Muller, who raced to the first set, 6-4 against Luca Nardi of Italy, is 5-1 up in the second too.

Alejandro Tabilo, the Chilean, is 6-3, 2-1 up on the magnificently named Belgian Zizou Bergs, with Kei Nishikori and Gabriel Diallo locked at deuce at 5-4 to Diallo on serve in the first set.

In the women's singles, French favourite Caroline Garcia is a break up on Eva Lys in the decider, with Lys serving to make it 3-4. Katerina Siniakova beat Dalma Galfi 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) earlier.

Four games have started recently:

• Chloe Paquet 3-2 Diana Shnaider
• Rebecca Sramkova 6-7, 4-5 Amanda Anisimova
• Wang Xiyu 6-5 Zhuoxian Bai
• Tatjana Maria 2-3 Clara Tauson

Not so much to smile about for Borna Coric, who has just gone two sets down against home favourite Richard Gasquet (that's Ree-shard Gass-kay).

Gasquet took the second set, like the first, in a tie-break, 7-2 after 7-5 in the first.

Officially, the French Open started today. Fans streamed through the gates, packing Roland Garros, lining up for crepes and champagne and Aperol spritzes.

Grand slam champions played — Alcaraz, Osaka, Ostapenko — and came away with victories, even Osaka, who nearly gave away her match twice, squandering a 4-0 lead in the third set before beating Lucia Bronzetti 6-1, 4-6, 7-5. The defending champion, Novak Djokovic arrived.

And yet it all felt like a prelude, a kind of overture before the real business of the competition takes place,. Yesterday afternoon, the lines were 40-deep to get into Court Suzanne Lenglen , before the tournament had begun in earnest.

Why? Because Rafael Nadal was practising there. Below, Matthew Futterman previews his first-round match against Alexander Zverev. Don't miss it.

The 23-year-old from Haarlem in the Netherlands has beaten the Brit!

A superb winner, Draper can do nothing about it, and he's into the second round. His prize: A clash with Carlos Alcaraz.

De Jong drops to his back in sheer relief and exhaustion.

Fair play, he's been really good. Jack Draper slinks off court frustratedly.

Caroline Garcia finally makes it count against Eva Lys, having been broken at 5-4 when serving for the second set.

We're going the distance here.
