French Open 2024 Day 4 live – Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek v Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff all in action on bumper day

The tension seems to have left Garcia’s shoulders and she hits freely, marauding to a clean hold to pose the serve-out question.

At 15-15 at 21st unforced error of the day spews off Caro’s racquet and makes life a lot simpler for Kenin.

The American can see the finish line now as she grinds out another hold to 15 to leave Garcia with it all to do.

Sofia pumps her fist as she resorts to type with some gritty, resilient baseline play to lure frustrating errors out of her opponent before slapping away a simple return winner off a tame second serve on her second break point.

Still on serve early doors in Set 4 on Lenglen with the No.9 seed’s comfortable morning turning into a far trickier afternoon. The Greek did just have a break point but Danile snuffed it out and held firm from deuce.

A loose opening from Kenin sees her cough up triple break point out of nowhere.

She saves two and looks like pressing to deuce but then arrows a forehand attempt down the line into the top of the tape.

Caro unloads clutch serves under real duress, digs out crosscourt passes on the stretch – but still it’s not enough.

Kenin digs her heels in at deuce and outlasts the Frenchwoman to snap up the first break of Set 2 with another pass down the line.

Still on sere in the early stages of Set 2, but Garcia has made some changes on the return and just made life uncomfortable for the American. However, Sofia once again produced clutch tennis under stress and nudged the board with a resilient hold from deuce.

They are going to a fourth set on Lenglen as Altmaier surges through the breaker by a 7-2 scoreline.

Tsitsipas leaks a trio of unforced errors and it’s all Altmaier in the TB. The German underdog leads 5-1 at the change of ends

Tsitsipas surges through a final hold to take the third set into a breaker. Altmaier did an excellent job leading on the board throughout that one, but can he really up the ante and force a fourth?

At times, Kenin is playing the sort of tennis that saw her win her only major in Australia back 2020.

The American World No.56 is aggressive on the return again, jumping all over a second serve to tee up a short ball that she thunders down the line via the forehand to convert on her second set point.

Kenin deploys an exquisite crosscourt drop shot to press at deuce again, but this time Garcia hangs tough to pull off a massive hold following another lengthy test.

The Frenchwoman hits back from 40-15 down to apply some rare heat on the return from deuce, but once again Kenin grits out the big points to maintain her advantage.

The German World No.83 is much-improved in this third set. He’s taking care of his serve and pushing that board. Tsitsipas hasn’t made as much inroads on the return and it’s now 5-4 to the German with Stef serving to stay in the third set.

Kenin’s ability to consistently make her opponent take on that extra shot pays dividends here as she secures the first break of the contest following a lengthy tussle from deuce.

The American then consolidates with a ruthless love hold to make the first serious moves in this first set.

It’s still on serve at 2-2 in the third set between The Greek No.9 seed and Altmaier. Remember, the former finalist leads 6-3 6-2 2-2.

Garcia lands the hefty first serve and dominates with the forehand to clinch a game to 30.

Kenin looks in charge on her service game but a fortunate, short return at 40-15 catches her out. There’s nothing lucky about Garcia’s next return though as she rasps a forehand crosscourt to make deuce.

There’s frustration for Sofia as she skews a backhand into the net to offer up a first break point of the contest, but she finds some seriously clutch serves to turn it around before sealing the hold with a lovely pass.

Caro seals an opening game to 15 with a wide ace and Sofia follows suit, dropping just the one point on her way to easing on to the board.

This is their third meeting and Kenin has won the previous two, although this is their first clash on clay.

Tsitsipas continues to shine on Lenglen and has just served his way into a two-set advantage.

The No.9 seed leads Altmaier 6-3 6-2 with just one hour and two minutes on the clock.

Former finalist and this year’s Monte Carlo champion Stefanos Tsitsipas is underway on Court Suzanne-Lenglen and he’s off to a flyer.

The Greek leads 6-3 4-1 against German World No.83 Daniel Altmaier.

The main court opens with a round two clash between French hopeful Caroline Garcia and former Grand Slam champion and runner-up here, Sofia Kenin.
