There is some top action on day six of the French Open, here are the headlines so far:
* Murray ‘relatively positive’ about fitness
* Berdych battles back to beat Anderson
* Ivanovic is knocked out by Errani

* Stephens reaches fourth round of grand slam for first time
8.39pmNovak Djokovic extended his Grand Slam win streak to 24 matches by beating Nicolas Devilder of France 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in the third round. Djokovic has won the last three Grand Slam titles, and he needs four more victories at Roland Garros to become the third player to hold all four major titles at the same time. Rod Laver was the last to do it, in 1969. The 25-year-old Serb can also complete a career Grand Slam by winning the French Open. Last year, he lost to Roger Federer in the semifinals.

5.42pm Match update Nicolas Mahut takes a break and makes it count to draw level in his third-round tie against Roger Federer. It is the first time the world No 3 has dropped a set against the Frenchman. What must Mahut’s wife be going through as her tennis loyalties are spluit down the middle today?
5.37pm Sloane Stephens, the only teenager left in the women’s draw, will face Sam Stosur for a place in the quarter-finals. The reigning US Open champion slugged her way into the last 16 as she beat Nadia Petrova in a baseline battle.
“I knew what I wanted to do, I stuck to the plan and was able to...execute it very well,” Stosur said of her 6-3, 6-3 win. “I thought today was very, very solid and a good match.”
5.32pm Match update Roger Federer might have taken the first set against Nicolas Mahut but the world No 3 has failed to force the breakthrough in the second set. Will a tie-break be required or will Federer take a two-set lead or will Mahut draw level? I wonder what Mahut’s wife, Minette, is thinking about this keenly-fought battle.

5.18pm Svetlana Kuznetsova, the world No 28, has been reacting to her 6-1, 6-2 third-round win over Agnieszka Radwanska, the third seed.
“It was very important to dictate, and I think I have done it well,” the 2009 French Open champion said. “I fought for every ball against her.
“When you look at her when she plays, she doesn’t have some great shots, like overpower. She moves well, she reads the game unbelievably, and she plays on the counterattack very well.”
5.02pm Sloane Stephens’ mother, Sybil Smith, has been talking about what she thinks is her 19-year-old daughter’s biggest strength following her win over Mathilde Johnassen.
“Probably her mental fortitude. She’s a really happy-go-lucky kind of person, and she doesn’t let things get her down. She’s resilient. She’s incredibly resilient,” Smith said of Stephens, who has reduced her sugar intake from fizzy drinks and sweets.
Here’s what Brad Gilbert reckons on Twitter: “fedfan having a pretty easy time of it with Marathon man Mahut , he has had very routine draw for the 1st 3 matches.”
4.57pm Match update Roger Federer takes the first set against Nicolas Mahut 6-3.
Here’s what Brad Gilbert reckons on Twitter after Gilles Simon seals the third set against Stanislas Wawrinka 7-6: “Great effort from Simon Sez to come back after dropping that 1st set to tough the next 2 sets, fitness will come in to play in this battle ?”
4.52pm Match update Gilles Simon, the No 11 seed, is taking on Stanislas Wawrinka, the No 18 seed, on Suzanne Lenglen in the third round where the score is 5-7, 7-6, 6-6. David Goffin from Spain has just taken the first set against Poland’s Lukasz Kubo 7-6.
4.42pm Match update Will Nicolas Mahut’s wife be smiling? Her husband, Nicolas, trails Roger Federer, her favourite tennis player, 2-5 in the first set. Meanwhile, on Court 1 Juan Martin Del Potro, the No 9 seed, leads Marin Cilic, the No 21 seed, 6-3, 1-1 while over on Court 2, Andreas Seppi is in danger of being pegged back by Fernando Verdassco, the No 14 seed. The Italian leads 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 2-4.
4.38pm Tomas Berdych has said that he was not suprised to have been given a stern examination by Kevin Anderson as the Czech recorded his first five-set win at Roland Garros.
“Today I was expecting a really, really tough one because he’s coming up. He’s playing well. It was a really, really close game today.”
Berdych has also said that he wants to work with Ivan Lendl, a fellow Czech and the coach of Andy Murray. “It would be an honour. But it’s not only just for me to say if I want him or not. But definitely if we could be together then, of course, it could be nice,” the No 7 seed said.
4.25pm Roger Federer and Nicolas Mahut are out on court. I wonder if Mrs Mahut has been persuaded to support her husband, along with the Roland Garros partisan crowd, rather than her usual favourite tennis player, Federer.

4.18pm In addition to asking whether you prefer to use Facebook or Twitter whern it comes to social media, Maria Sharpova has been talking about her chances of finally winning the Roland Garros title with Serena Williams falling to Virginie Razzano in the first round.
“If you get to the quarter-finals, no matter who you play, you have to play at a high level,” Sharapova said after her 6-1, 6-1 second-round win over Ayumi Morita of Japan. “You can’t worry about if it’s Serena or somebody else across the net. You have to beat them.”
@neilharmantimes: “Tony Godsick’s departure from IMG comes in week agency is commissioned by ITF to ask 4 players views on Davis/Fed Cups. http://thetim.es/KXYtzg.”
4.10pm A composed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga gave his home crowd plenty to cheer as he dispatched Fabio Fognini, the flamboyant Italian, 7-5 6-4 6-4. on Phillipe Chatrier. At one stage, the world number 45 berated the umpire and the partisan crowd, but Tsonga remained clam and focused to seal a last-16 meeting with either Gilles Simon, a fellow Frenchman, or Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka.

3.30pm Svetlana Kuznetsova rolled back the years to defeat Agnieszka Radwanska, the No 3 seed, who admitted that the 2009 champion had been the better player.
“She was just playing very aggressive on both sides,” Radwanska said . “She just had [an] answer for everything I was trying to do.
“It’s always disappointing when losing in the first week of a Grand Slam, that’s for sure. Today I didn’t play bad, she was just playing unbelievable.”
3.15pm Maria Sharapova put the question out there and Sloane Stephens is clear about her social media preference. The 19-year-old American said after she defeated Mathilde Johansson of France 6-3, 6-2: “I’m excited because now I’m going to have more Twitter followers.”
Stephens added: “It’s always good to be noticed and recognised for sport. I think being up there with Venus and Serena, that’s awesome. I’m happy that I’m improving.”
3.00pm Ana Ivanovic has been reflecting on her defeat at the hands of Sara Errani: “I was really pleased the way I started. I was really aggressive and I created a lot of opportunities for myself. Then I felt in the second and third sets she started raising her level a lot and putting a lot more on the ball.
“Also on my serve, I felt I had a great rhythm on it, but I just wasn’t making enough. My serve percentage was so poor. I think that was something that determined a little bit the tone for the last two sets.”

1.52pm Sara Errani has revealed that secret behind her shock win over Ana Ivanovic. She said that was told by her coach to play to her opponent’s backhand as much as possible.
“It is one of my best,” Errani said. “She is not top 10 now but she has always been among the top players, so I am very happy.”
1.48pm Maria Sharapova reaches the third round of the French Open after cruising to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Japan’s Ayumi Morita. The Russian’s bid to claim the one grand slam title that has eluded her to date remains on course.
1.30pm Some reaction from the big shock of the day so far with Ana Ivanovic suffering a shock 6-1, 5-7, 3-6 defeat at the hands of Sara Errani. The 2008 champion has taken full responsibility for failing to beat the Italian claycour specialist.
“I was making some unforced errors when I was too flat-footed,” Ivanovic said. “Some double faults really came out of nowhere. Maybe I wasn’t using my legs enough.”
@rolandgarros has tweeted the picture British tennis fans have been waiting to see after Andy Murray suffered injury problems following a back spasm during his remarkable 1-6 6-4 6-1 6-2 win over Jarkko Nieminen yesterday.
Let’s hope the world No 4 will be fit to face Santiago Giraldo of Colombia in the third round tomorrow.
@neilharmantimes: Andy Murray currently hitting and feelings are that he is “relatively positive” about his chances of playing tomorrow.

@neilharmantimes: Malek Jaziri, smashing guy from Tunisia we met in Bolton couple of years ago, about to serve for match in 5th v. Granollers
12.53pm: Kuznetsova will be a bit annoyed with herself there: she had three break points but failed to take them and it’s back to 3-1. Would still expect her to see this through though.
Here’s what Brad Gilbert reckons on Twitter: “Wow Kuzy is all over A shell skocked Aggi Rad this is the best i have seen her look since 2009 French.”
12.48pm: Radwanska is getting a pasting from Kuznetsova, to be frank. SK is already a set up and now a break to the good in the second set, cruising along at 3-0 up. Radwanska does not look anything like the third seed here.
@neilharmantimes: The Berd is going to have to go to five to stay in @rolandgarros. Anderson takes the 3rd on a TB.
12.35pm Match update Marcel Granollers leads Malek Jaziri 7-6, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 3-2 in the second round on Court 3, while Dominika Cibulkova, the 15th seed, leads Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez on Court 7 6-2, 1-0 in round three.

12.22pm Match update Svetlana Kuznetsova, the 2009 winner, is got off to a blistering start against Agnieszka Radwanska by winning the opening four games.
12.15pm Match update Tomas Berdych is far from having things all his own way on Court 1, it is all square at 4-4 in the third set despite Kevin Anderson looking to take contro with a couple of breaks.
12.12pm Sloane Stephens, the only teenager to reach the third round at Roland Garros this year, will take on either Sam Stosur or Nadia Petrova of Russia for a place in the quarter-finals in Paris.

12.08pm Match update Ana Ivanovic has crashed out of the French Open. The 2008 champion has been beaten by Sara Errani. The No 21 seed from Italy came from behind to beat one of the darlings of the Roland Garros crowd 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 inside two hours on Suzanne Lenglen.
@neilharmantimes: 11.57am Fine win for Sloane Stephens over Johansson. The American is one to watch, nice effortless style.

11.20am At least one woman at Roland Garros will have divided loyalties when Roger Federer faces a local favourite Nicolas Mahut later in one of the highlights on day six. Minette Mahut, the Frenchman’s is a Federer fan, but will she be putting her husband first whe he does battle with the world number 3 for a place in the last 16?
“I have a problem because my wife is a fan of Roger. My whole family is,” a smiling Mahut told reporters. “So I will need to make sure they will be in the right players’ box watching the match.”
Quite a dilemma, I’m sure you will agree.
11.13am Match update Sara Errani is fighting back in the second set but Ivanovic is showing resistance, cancelling out the 2008 French Open champion’s opponent’s second break of serve to restore parity at 4-4. Ivanovic took the first set 6-1 against the Italian.
11.05am Match update Sloane Stephens, the American prospect who is playing at Roland Garros for the second time, has taken the first set against Mathilde Johansson 6-3. Neither player has previously reached the third round of a grand slam tournament.

10.26am Celebrations and Roland Garros go hand in hand for Rafael Nadal. But the world no 2 says he will not but painting Paris red - well not too much that is - on his 26th birthday on June 3 as he only has his mind set on one thing, a record seventh French Open men’s singles title.
“Difficult to celebrate ... when you are in the middle of the tournament, but sure, I’m going to go for dinner with the team,” Nadal said.
@neilharmantimes: 10.22am Just re-seen incredible rally between Richard Gasquet and Grigor Dimitrov, former throwing up, latter cramping. Truly naked tennis.
10.20am Tomas Berydch, the number 7 seed from Czech Republic, has just started his third-round clash with South Africa’s Kevin Anderson, the number 31 seed, on Court 1.
10.18am Andy Murray has hit back at Virgina Wade after she labelled him a “drama queen” as he beat Jarkko Nieminen yesterday. The world No 4 looked set to retire through injury having awoken with a back spasm before turning the match around to claim a remarkable 1-6 6-4 6-1 6-2 win.
“I don’t really see what the point would be in play-acting, going down 6-1, 4-2. I don’t really see what the point would be in putting yourself in a position where you’re about to lose, and stop the match, and then somehow manage to turn it around,” Murray said.
You can read Neil Harman’s take in The Times here.
10.10am: Ana Ivanovic, the No 13 seed coached by Nigel Sears, is off to a good start against Sara Errani, the No 21 seed, winning the opening game. Ivanovic is wearing the same green dress that she wore in her second round match - for hygiene reasons we hope she has washed it, or that it’s a new one.
09.45am: Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the sixth day of the French Open. The big guns are out in force again with the top seeds from the men’s and women’s draws both in action. Novak Djokovic plays Nicolas Devilder, of France and will be followed onto the Suzanne Lenglen Court by Victoria Azarenka, who meets Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada. Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Agnieszka Radwanska bolster a strong cast of seeds at Roland Garros today.
