PARIS (AP) -- The Latest from the French Open:

9:55 p.m.

Nine more seeded players have been sent packing on Day 5 at the French Open.

Five of them were in the men's draw - No. 16 John Isner, No. 18 Tommy Robredo, No. 22 Philipp Kohlschreiber, No. 27 Bernard Tomic and No. 31 Viktor Troicki.

Among the women, fifth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark was the highest of the four seeds to go, losing 6-4, 7-6 (4) to Julia Goerges of Germany.

Two-time Grand Slam winner Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia, seeded 18th, lost 6-7 (11), 7-5, 10-8 to Francesca Schiavone of Italy.

Serena Williams looked in some danger, too, but the top-ranked American steadied herself to beat 105th-ranked Anna-Lena Friedsam of Germany 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.

9:20 p.m.

Home fans stayed out late in the hope that 20th-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet could beat Carlos Berlocq of Argentina.

He couldn't quite finish it Thursday.

After losing the first set, Gasquet won the next two to take control.

But as the light faded, so did Gasquet's momentum, and Berlocq evened the match at 6-3, 3-6, 1-6, 6-4 after 2 hours, 50 minutes.

As the clock reached 9:20 p.m., Berlocq threw his bag over his shoulder and gave a friendly wave to the fans as the weary players finally went off Suzanne Lenglen court, with their match to resume Friday.

Jack Sock is into the third round at Roland Garros for the second straight year.

Another American, 16th-seeded John Isner, failed to join him.

The 37th-ranked Sock got past Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain 6-7 (2), 7-6 (4), 6-1, 7-6 (4), while Isner was beaten by Jeremy Chardy of France 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

''I could have beaten a lot of people out there today,'' Isner said, ''and he wasn't one of them.''

Sock, who is 22, next faces 18-year-old Borna Coric of Croatia, who defeated 18th-seeded Tommy Robredo of Spain.

Andy Murray is also weighing in on the FIFA bribery and corruption scandal, as Rafael Nadal did earlier.

''I wouldn't say that many people were surprised by it,'' the No. 3-ranked Murray said. ''It's good for sport in a way when that stuff happens, because people have kind of talked about it for a long time.''

Murray added: ''People have suggested that there was some corruption going on there. So, yeah, now they are going to do a proper investigation into it and see what happens after that.''

After going 4-13 in the first round of the French Open, American women went 4-0 in the second round.

That top-seeded Serena Williams would advance was not surprising, although she had her share of problems while getting past 105th-ranked Anna-Lena Friedsam of Germany in three sets.

There were reasons to believe the other three U.S. women in action might not stick around.

But they all did.

Madison Keys, seeded 16th, had never reached the third round at Roland Garros, yet breezed past Belinda Bencic of Switzerland 6-0, 6-3.

Irina Falconi hadn't been to the third round at any Grand Slam tournament since the 2011 U.S. Open until defeating Sesil Karatantcheva of Bulgaria 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.

And Sloane Stephens was 0-4 against Heather Watson of Britain before eliminating her 6-2, 6-4.

Andy Murray was more stumped by the kilt that his post-match interviewer wore than he was by his second-round opponent at the French Open.

''I really don't know what to say,'' the third-seeded Murray said when former player Fabrice Santoro appeared in full Scottish attire - kilt, long black socks, black shoes and sporran - to quiz the Scotsman about his 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory against Joao Sousa.

But Murray had plenty to say about his coach Amelie Mauresmo, a former No. 1 who won Wimbledon and the Australian Open but never got beyond the quarterfinals at the French, her home Grand Slam.

''She played with a lot of variety, something that I try to do on the court. I felt like she could help me with that. And she's a very nice person. So it's fun to work with her. That's important,'' he said. They've been together a year.

''So far, so good,'' Murray said.

The 2013 Wimbledon and 2012 U.S. Open champion, a two-time semifinalist at the French, plays 29th-seeded Nick Kyrgios in the third round.

Venturing into soccer politics, Rafael Nadal says the cleaning out of apparent deep-rooted corruption in the sport's governing body, FIFA, is ''great news.''
