Player of the day: A man who knows a thing or two about career-threatening injuries, Juan Martin Del Potro earned a standing ovation after he consoled Nicolas Almagro when the Spaniard was forced to retire from their second-round clash. In a touching moment, the 2009 US Open winner also packed Almagro's bag after helping him back to his bench.
Quote of the day: "After my grandpa passing, I just lost a lot of motivation to do anything, really." - Nick Kyrgios explains how emotional torment spoiled his French Open campaign.
Stat of the day: Kyrgios's rare four straight aces in one love service hold was not enough to save Australia's last man standing from reaching the third round for the third straight year.
Upset alert: Thirteenth seed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic was sent packing in straight sets by unheralded Russian Karen Khachanov.
How the Aussie fared: Kyrgios's demise leaves 2010 finalist Samantha Stosur as the last Australian hope in Paris yet again.
How the seeds fared: Only Kyrgios, Berdych and David Ferrer fell on the men's side. Marin Cilic, Stan Wawrinka, Gael Monfils and world No.1 Andy Murray all made it through. In the women's draw Karolina Pliskova, Simona Halep, Elena Vesnina, Agnieszka Radwanska and Elina Svitolina all marched on.
