Ahhh……Paris in the springtime…
by bahamaderek on May.26, 2009, under Roland Garros
Rain struck early on day three of the French Open at Roland Garros.
Heavy overnight rain had taken away the hot temperatures in Paris, but clouds were still present as play began on time at 1000 BST.
However, it was no surprise to see play halted after less then half an hour’s play.
At that stage, women’s seeds Jelena Jankovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova had already taken control of their first-round matches.
Jankovic was 4-1 up on Petra Cetkovska, while Kuznetsova led Claire Feuerstein 5-1.
Men’s fifth seed Juan Martin Del Potro was also up on Michael Llodra, leading 3-1.
Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams are among the players due in action later today.
