Out into this Paris cauldron the fastest women in the world come. Marrit Steenbergen in lane two is the reigning world champion, admittedly beating a weakened field in Doha earlier this year, but showing the depth of this event.

They are on the blocks…

Nadal/Alcaraz 3-6, 3-5 Krajicek/Ram

All the interest in Nadal’s return to Roland Garros alongside Alcaraz, but it hasn’t quite worked today.

The Americans move to within a game of being able to put ‘Nadalcaraz’ out of the tournament.

First up, though, is the women’s 100m freestyle, which is totally stacked. Mollie O’Callaghan is seeking a 200/100 double having surged past compatriot Ariarne Titmus over four lengths in her first individual final of these Games, and it could be another Australian in Shayna Jack who proves her toughest competition here.

That said, Sarah Sjostrom is one of the greatest of all-time, even with just a single Olympic gold on her mantelpiece. Can the Swedish superstar finally be gilded at the Games in the way her talent deserves to be?

Women’s 100m freestyle final

2 Marrit Steenbergen (Netherlands)

3 Mollie O’Callaghan (Australia)

4 Siobhan Haughey (Hong Kong)

5 Shayna Jack (Australia)

7 Sarah Sjostrom (Sweden)

Leon Marchand will swim both finals tonight as he attempts to become the first swimmer to medal in both butterfly and breaststroke. It is, frankly, ludicrous to even attempt it, let alone have a genuine shot at winning both. Stopping Kristof Milak in the fly will surely be tough, but we know that home crowd will lift him.

Nadal/Alcaraz 3-6, 3*-4 Krajicek/Ram

There are 26 Grand Slam titles between Nadal and Alcaraz.

They have called the umpire over, trying to get a change of decision, but it hasn’t worked and they have been broken!

The American pair take a 4-3 lead in the second set.

From Bercy to La Defense, with the evening’s swimming action not far away at all. For those of a British persuasion, there’s no Team GB interest tonight, but an array of global stars are set to contest five (yes, five!) potentially thrilling finals.

Among those in action: Katie Ledecky, Mollie O’Callaghan, Sarah Sjostrom and Leon Marchand, who is attempting a brilliant, bonkers butterfly and breaststroke double…

Nadal/Alcaraz 3-6, 33* Krajicek/Ram

Nadal rolled back the years with a lifted forehand right into the corner of the court that got the crowd on their feet as the Spanish duo attempted to break for the first time in the second set.

But again it stays the way of the serve.

Strong finishes from both Jake Jarman and, particularly, Joe Fraser – seventh for Jarman and fifth for Fraser, beating out the defending champion. While they didn’t quite have enough to match the class of the field, Team GB’s pairing did not at all look out of place in that final group.

Nadal/Alacaraz 3-6, 2-2* Krajicek/Ram

It’s stayed the way of the serve, both pairs have held.

Will we see a breakthrough in the second set?

The crowd have been fairly quiet, a lot might be backing Nadal given his history with Roland Garros.

14.633 – it’s not enough! Shinnosuke Oka is the Olympic champion in the men’s all-around, taking the title from teammate Daiki Hashimoto.

GOLD: Shinnosuka Oka (Japan) 86.832

SILVER: Zhang Boheng (China) 86.599

BRONZE: Xiao Ruoteng (China) 86.364
