Katie Boulter vs Madison Keys start time: When is French Open match?
Katie Boulter takes on Madison Keys at the French Open as the British No 1 looks to build on her first main draw win at Roland Garros.
Boulter claimed her first victory on the Paris clay as she defeated Carole Monnet 6-7 6-1 6-1 and said it was a victory she 'would not forget'.
'Sometimes I find it really difficult on this surface,' Boulter said, 'I persevered and tried my hardest to bring some good tennis and obviously my first Roland Garros win, you never forget those ones.'
Up next for the British No 1 is a date with Australian Open champion Keys, who is a former semi-finalist at the French Open with that result coming in 2022.
It will be the first time the players have met, and the second-round match has been given top billing after it was scheduled on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
What time is Katie Boulter vs Madison Keys
The second round match has been scheduled third on Court Philippe-Chatrier, following the matches between Jessica Pegula and Ann Li and men's No 1 Jannik Sinner and retiring French favourite Richard Gasquet.
With play starting at 11am UK time, Keys and Boulter could expect to get onto court at around 3pm UK time, but it may be slightly earlier or later depending on the previous matches.
Is it on TV and how can I watch?

LTA promises equal prize money at Queen's by 2029
The LTA has pledged to introduce equal prize money at Queen's and Eastbourne by no later than total prize fund for the WTA event at Queen's Club - which begins on Monday - will be $1.415m (£1.043m), with the LTA voluntarily increasing the standard prize money by a that still comes nowhere near the amount the men will be paid for competing at the same venue the following prize money levels are set by the tours, and the ATP tournament will offer a total prize fund of 2.522m euros (£2.122m).Queen's Club is hosting a women's tournament for the first time since 1973, with Britons Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter set to compete. Both the men's and women's events are '500' category tournaments - the third-highest tier after the Grand Slams and Masters 1000 ATP event at Queen's has already sold out, while just over 80% of the tickets have so far been bought for the women's prices are lower in the WTA week, which will not yet be able to raise anything like the revenue of the long established men's spent on prize money cannot also be spent on developing grassroots tennis in the UK, and the LTA says the summer events lost a total of £4m last LTA's promise to introduce equal prize money by 2029 is four years before the deadline set by the WTA. While the WTA says major combined events should have equal prize money by 2027, standalone events - which the Queen's week technically is - have until is a combined '250' event, and will feature both men and women in the week before Wimbledon. The women's prize money is $389,000 (£286,650) - making it the highest-paying tournament of that size on the tour this year - while the men will share 756,875 euros (£637,000)."The LTA is committed to growing women's tennis, both at professional and grass-roots level and this move is an important part of that commitment," said LTA chief executive Scott Lloyd."This year fans will be able to enjoy both men's and women's tennis on the biggest stages that we can offer."We want to develop the tournaments so that the women's events deliver a path to profitability and greater visibility for the sport."

New Queen's tournament to offer equal prize money for women by 2029
The LTA has pledged to secure equal prize money for the new women's tennis tournament held at Queen's and the mixed event in Eastbourne by 2029 at the latest. Women's tennis will return to The Queen's Club in Baron's Court, London for the first time in more than 50 years next week in the form of a WTA 500 event, one week before the annual men's ATP 500 event at Queen's. The player list includes Madison Keys, Elena Rybakina, Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter. The women's prize pot will stand at US$1.415m (£843,705), the highest purse on offer at a WTA 500 event of its draw size on the tour this year. Despite the notable figure, the women's prize money is still around half of the offering for the ATP event, which currently stands at $2,882,544 (£2,124,031). At the WTA Eastbourne event, which has been downgraded to a WTA 250 event in order to make space for the new event at Queen's, the prize money will rise to $389,000 (£286,570), making it the highest paying WTA 250 event on the tour. However, the ATP event's offering of $865,000 (£637,221) is still considerably higher. The LTA has voluntarily added a total of £397,738 to its women's events this year compared to the minimum prize money required by the WTA. Grass court events are particularly expensive to run and, according to the LTA, the events it held in 2024 operated at a loss of £4m in 2024 despite the success of the ATP Queen's event. However, the organisation intends to gradually increase its prize money commitment to the WTA over time and it is hopeful that the Queen's WTA event will eventually become profitable. The WTA event in Queen's has had positive returns as the tournament nears. More than 80% of tickets have already been sold for the tournament. Part of the LTA's motivation for returning women's tennis to Queen's was for the tournament to appeal to a more diverse fanbase and 55% of ticket purchasers for the Queen's WTA 500 event have been female. 'We are making significant increases this year to the women's prize money at Queens and Eastbourne and want to achieve equal prize money as soon as possible,' said Scott Lloyd, the LTA CEO, in a statement. 'The LTA is committed to growing women's tennis, both at professional and grass-roots level and this move is an important part of that commitment.

Italians Errani and Vavassori cruise to French Open mixed doubles title
PARIS, June 5 (Reuters) - Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori of Italy swept to a 6-4 6-2 victory over Americans Taylor Townsend and Evan King on Court Philippe Chatrier to claim the French Open mixed doubles crown on Thursday. Errani and Vavassori claimed their second mixed doubles Grand Slam crown, with the first coming at the U.S. Open last year where they also defeated Townsend and her longtime former partner Donald Young. The Italian duo were tested early in the first set but saved two breakpoints to secure a tight hold at 1-1, before grabbing the decisive break and taking a 4-3 lead when Townsend sent a forehand wide. Errani and Vavassori dialled up the intensity to overwhelm their opponents, twice breaking serve in the second set before Townsend netted a volley to give the third seeds a dominant win. The American pairing looked disjointed throughout the match and racked up 25 unforced errors, almost three times as many as Errani and Vavassori's nine.
