It’s over for Pliskova as a star is born – Roland-Garros, day five

Great Britain Dan Evans was sent into a tailspin in the second round after a four-set loss to Mikael Ymer.

Meanwhile, a new star was born after a French 227-ranked wildcard beat world number eight.

Here, the PA press agency looks back on the fifth day of Roland-Garros.

Shock of the day

No competition. French joker Leolia Jeanjean, ranked 227th in the world and playing her first Grand Slam at the age of 26 after giving up tennis for nearly five years, stunned eighth seed Karolina Pliskova 6-2 6-2. “Even I don’t have an explanation,” she said.

Statistics of the day

Jeanjean is the lowest-ranked woman to win a match against a top-10 player at Roland Garros since Conchita Martinez beat Lori McNeil in 1988.
