20:40And that leaves just two more finals to be played here in Paris on the last day of the tournament on Sunday. The women's doubles final is on Chatrier at 11.30am followed by the men's singles final at 2.30pm when Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will battle for the Coupes des Mousquetaires. We are guaranteed a brand new champion in Paris. We'll be here from 11am and look forward to your company then...
20:32Before we say goodbye for the evening we'll leave you with one more highlights package - the best moments from an emotional victory for Croatia's Mate Pavic and El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo, who took home the men's doubles trophy today.
19:58Dutch superstar Diede de Groot has secured a second title today with victory in the women’s wheelchair doubles alongside compatriot Aniek van Koot.
The pair beat defending champions and No.1 seeds Yui Kamiji and Kgothatso Montjane 6-7(6), 7-6(2), (10-4)
19:50Women's singles runner-up Jasmine Paolini has been talking to the media following her defeat in this afternoon's singles final.
"I have to be happy with my two weeks and my new ranking," said the 28-year-old, who becomes the world No.7 on Monday.
"It's a happy moment for me, not a sad moment."
Watch the press conference below.
19:12No.9 seeds El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo and Croatia’s Mate Pavic have taken the men’s doubles title on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
They needed two match points to get past the all-Italian pairing of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, 7-5, 6-3.
Pavic becomes the sixth player in the Open era to win all four majors and an Olympic gold in men's doubles. Arevalo has claimed his second Roland-Garros title having won it in 2022 with Jean-Julien Rojer of the Netherlands.

18:37Iga Swiatek might need both hands to count her Roland-Garros trophies before too long...
18:25Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo survive a close first set on Chatrier, stealing a break at just the right time to grab the opener off Italians Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori 7-5.
The Croatia-El Salvador pair had to see off four break points before converting their first of the match on the Vavassori serve.
18:20There are two finals taking place on Sunday, the 15th and final day of Roland-Garros 2024, with the Chatrier order of play starting at 11.30am.
First up, Italians Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani team up to take on Coco Gauff and Katerina Siniakova in the women's doubles showpiece at 11.30am.
At 2.30pm it's the men's final when Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev meet with both going for a maiden Roland-Garros trophy.
18:10Sam Schroder has made up for defeat to Guy Sasson in the quad singles earlier today with victory in the doubles alongside partner Niels Vink.
The Dutch pair beat Andy Lapthorne and Sasson 7-6(9), 6-1 on Court 13.
17:50If you missed today's women's singles final you're in luck because the highlights have just dropped. Enjoy the best moments from yet another dominant Iga Swiatek Roland-Garros display...
17:25We have one more final on Chatrier today and we're a couple of minutes away from the four men's doubles finalists making their way on to Paris' famous court.
Italians Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori team up to take on Mate Pavic from Croatia and his partner from El Salvador Marcelo Arevalo.
16:57Tereza Valentova picked up her second title of the day at Roland-Garros with victory in the girls’ doubles alongside Slovenia's Renata Jamrichova.
They beat the USA pairing of Tyra Caterina Grant and Iva Jovic 6-4, 6-4 on Court Simonne-Mathieu.
16:50No.1 seeds Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid took their fifth consecutive Roland-Garros title with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over the Japanese pairing of Takuya Miki and Tokita Oda in the men’s wheelchair doubles.
This is the second Grand Slam title of the year for the British pair following their victory at the Australian Open in January, and it's their 20th major title together.
16:50 16:46 16:40We're into the trophy presentations and the Italian is the first to speak.
Jasmine Paolini gets a warm reception from the Chatrier crowd who have loved watching her brand of tennis over the last two weeks. The Italian will break into the top 10 on Monday at No.7 in the world.
“I’ve been here 10 or 15 days and they’ve been the best days of my life,” Paolini tells a packed Chatrier.
“I’m really proud of myself. Merci beaucoup – you were cheering for me and that was really unbelievable.”
16:25 16:21Iga Swiatek claims her fourth Roland-Garros singles title and her third in three years with a dominant 6-2, 6-1 victory over Italy’s Jasmine Paolini.
It is the Polish world No.1’s fifth Grand Slam trophy overall and she maintains her 100 percent record in major finals having now won the first five of her career at the age of 23.
Swiatek extends her Roland-Garros win streak to 21 matches.
16:00The world No.1 is starting to put on a clay-court masterclass and she’s hardly put a foot wrong since going down that early break in the first set. Swiatek picks up where she left off at the end of the opener to hold, break and hold again for a three-game cushion. She’s closing in on a fourth title…
15:50In the perfect draw, the No.1 seeds beat the No.2 seeds in the boys’ doubles final.
The Norwegian/Austrian pairing of Nicolai Budkov Kjaer and Joel Schwaerzler beat Italy’s Federicao Cin and Rei Sakamoto of Japan 6-4, 7-6(3) to take the title.
15:45From 1-2 and down a break, Iga Swiatek blazes through five games in a row to take the first set 6-2 after 34 minutes. The Polish world No.1 is one set away from the Paris ‘three-peat’.
15:43Swiatek breaks again as her quality starts to show on Chatrier. Going down 2-1 seems to have shocked the Pole into action and she’s starting to dominate now as she holds to win a fourth successive game to move into a 5-2 lead. This match is being played at an incredibly fast pace. It’s like they were both plugged into the mains before walking onto court.
15:34Paolini's advantage doesn't last long as Swiatek takes her tennis up a notch to break straight back then race through a service game to edge ahead. It's been more competitive than many predicted so far. Big game coming up for the Italian...
15:27Iga looks full of energy as the match gets under way and holds to 30 for a 1-0 lead. A first service game in a big final is always a good indicator of how a player is feeling and it was an eventful hold for Paolini in the second game. The Italian was up 40-0, then had to save break point but finally holds for 1-1 when a Swiatek groundstroke drops just long.
Swiatek then plays a surprisingly loose game to drop serve to 15 and Paolini has her nose in front.
15:19USA lefty Kaylan Bigun came into this final on an 11-match winning streak and made it 12 with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Poland’s Tomasz Berkieta in the boys’ singles final.
Eighteen-year-old Bigun is the third American player to win a Roland-Garros boys’ singles title after Bjorn Fratangelo in 2011 and Tommy Paul in 2015.
15:00The players are out on to Court Philippe-Chatrier, a sell-out crowd is ready and the sun is shining. It’s a third meeting between Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini, but this one is big.
Swiatek takes a 2-0 head-to-head lead into the women’s final looking for her fifth major at the age of 23, a fourth title in Paris, her third in a row and hoping to make it 21 successive wins at the clay court major. The last time she lost here was to Maria Sakkari in the quarter-finals in 2021.
Paolini is the 12th seed playing her first major final and, whatever happens, the 28-year-old is already guaranteed a debut inside the world’s top 10. She’ll also be back tomorrow to play in the doubles final with Sara Errani.

14:45Not long to wait until Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini take to Court Philippe-Chatrier.
14:15The Italian tennis federation - FITP - has produced this piece of artwork to support their Roland-Garros finalists this weekend.
Jasmine Paolini plays Iga Swiatek in the women's final. She will team up with Sara Errani in the women's doubles final on Sunday and later today Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori go for the men's doubles title.
It's 45 minutes until Swiatek and Paolini walk on court at 3pm Paris time...
14:06Six-time Grand Slam singles champion Sam Schroder was denied another title as Guy Sasson took a 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(10-7) victory in the quad singles final in a match that kept the fans on Court 13 guessing.
Schroder has made the final at Roland-Garros for the last three years, but it is the one Grand Slam that eludes him.
It was a rematch of the pair’s Australian Open final in January. Sasson lost out on that occasion and today wins his first Grand Slam singles title.

It could be a historic afternoon for Chinese tennis as Zhu would become only the second Chinese player ever to win a Grand Slam singles title outside juniors after Li Na’s Australian Open and Roland-Garros crowns.
In the girls’ final Tereza Valentova is up in the battle of the Czechs against Laura Samson. She’s ahead by a set and 3-2.

Alex Sharp chatted to Paolini’s doubles partner Sara Errani about why the 28-year-old is having so much success here, and what makes them work as a pair. They’ll be on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Sunday to go for the women’s doubles trophy.
And Alex also met the Italy Billie Jean King Cup captain Tathiana Garbin to discover just why the nation is having so much success - across men’s, women’s, doubles and junior draws.
“I tell [the players] this isn't Amazon,” Garbin says, “you can't click and order wins and Grand Slams. You have to push every single day.”
11:00It’s the penultimate day of tennis at Roland-Garros 2024 when 12 finals will be played over the next few hours.
At 3pm on Court Philippe-Chatrier Polish world No.1 Iga Świątek will aim to win her fourth Roland-Garros title - and third in a row - when she takes on Italian 12th seed Jasmine Paolini in the women’s final.
Before that at 11am Diede de Groot will go for her 14th successive Grand Slam singles title in the women’s wheelchair final on Chatrier.
Later the men’s doubles final will be played on the same court when more Italians - Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori - take on Croatia’s Mate Pavic and El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo.
Elsewhere, there are another five wheelchair finals taking place including the men’s singles and Quad singles finals.
