21:05 CET - Over in the United States, we have a grass-court competition into its second day and there have been mixed results for the seeded players with eighth seed Rinky Hijikata (23) crashing out, but it was a better contest for Arthur Rinderknech (28), who did advance.

20:28 CET - Stan Wawrinka (39) has been knocked out at the first hurdle in a home tournament for him in Gstaad by Slovakia's Lukas Klein (26) 7-6, 2-6, 7-5.

17:56 CET - Rafael Nadal (38) has returned to singles action in style, beating Leo Borg (21) - son of the legendary Bjorn Borg - 6-3, 6-4 in just 86 minutes in Bastad. An encouraging display for the Spaniard.

12:23 CET - Clay competition continues around Europe with just nine days to go until the Olympic Games, giving those players taking part a way to prepare after the grass-court swing.
