Novak Djokovic looked more like his old self as he dropped just seven games in beating Roberto Carballes Baena.

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina joined Iga Swiatek in the third round with straightforward wins.

And, French Open bosses banned booze to clamp down on unruly behaviour from spectators after David Goffin had chewing gum spat at him.

Here, the PA news agency looks back at day five at Roland Garros.

Picture of the day

Match of the day

For the second round running, Sebastian Ofner overturned a two-set deficit to win in five.

Shock of the day

Danielle Collins had won 20 of her last 22 matches including tournament wins in Miami and Charleston. So the American 11th seed was a surprise second-round casualty against Serbian qualifier Olga Danilovic.

Quote of the day

Non-quote of the day

Rybakina gave a series of tetchy answers to questions from reporters after her first-round win on Tuesday. The 24-year-old did not speak to the media after beating Arantxa Rus on Thursday. Not because she refused, but because not one of the 600-or so journalists in attendance asked to talk to her.

Fallen seeds

Jeļena Ostapenko (9), Danielle Collins (11), Katerina Siniakova (32).

Who’s up next?

Carlos Alcaraz continues his bid for a first Roland Garros title against American Sebastian Korda in the night session. Swiatek is back in action against Marie Bouzkova. And if the weather finally starts to behave, we may see Andy Murray and Dan Evans in doubles action.
