Highlights of the second day at the French Open, the second grand slam tournament of the year, on Monday (all times GMT): 1307 HERBERT COMPLETES EPIC COMEBACK

France's Pierre-Hugues Herbert rallied from two sets down to stun 12th seed Daniil Medvedev 4-6 4-6 6-3 6-2 7-5 in three hours and 54 minutes. 1301 TEENAGER PARRY PLAYS IT COOL

France's Diane Parry, aged 16 years and 281 days, said that keeping a cool head helped her become the youngest player to win a main draw match at Roland Garros since 2009 and the youngest from her country since Alize Cornet in 2006. "I didn't practice differently. I tried to approach (it) as a run-of-the-mill match so as not to have too much pressure on my shoulders," Parry, who idolises Roger Federer, said after beating Vera Lapko 6-2 6-4.

"I tried to roll out my usual game ... I tried not to think about the fact that it was a big match in the French Open. I tried to be as cool and relaxed as possible." READ MORE
