Earlier on Friday, Jannik Sinner continued his bid for a second straight Grand Slam title with a no-fuss win against Russia's Pavel Kotov.

The Australian Open winner won 6-4 6-4 6-4 to reach the fourth round.

Sinner, who has never gone beyond that stage in Paris, struggled with a hip injury in the build-up to the French Open, withdrawing in Madrid and missing his home tournament in Rome.

The 22-year-old Italian was patient against the world number 56, relying on a single break in each of the three sets and getting through his own service games without needing to raise his level.

He will face Corentin Moutet in the fourth round after the Frenchman beat Sebastian Ofner of Austria 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-1.

Sinner will become world number one should defending champion Novak Djokovic fail to reach the semi-final stage.

Elsewhere, sixth seed Andrey Rublev lost in straight sets to Matteo Arnaldi of Italy and later said he was disappointed by his behaviour during his 7-6 (8-6) 6-2 6-4 defeat.

World number 35 Arnaldi will next face Greek ninth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, who beat China's Zhang Zhizhen 6-3 6-3 6-1.

Meanwhile, another rain-affected day meant 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov's match with Belgian Zizou Berg was suspended with the Bulgarian leading 6-3 2-1.

Eighth seed Hubert Hurkacz's match with Canadian Denis Shapovalov was also paused with the Polish player leading 6-3 7-6 (7-0) 2-1.

Those ties are set to be completed on Saturday.
