Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem continued their smooth progress through the draw at Roland Garros but the day belonged to 20-year-old Frenchman Hugo Gaston.

The wild card, ranked 239th, began the tournament without a tour-level win but is through to the fourth round after a 2-6 6-3 6-3 4-6 6-0 victory over former champion Stan Wawrinka.
