Djokovic, Murray And Nadal On Deck For Tuesday At Roland Garros

Rain on the first two days of play at Roland Garros is resulting in an action-packed Day Three, with Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal all scheduled for play on Tuesday.

Murray and qualifier Radek Stepanek are the second the match of the day on Court Philippe Chatrier, as they resume their encounter from Monday. Play was called off due to darkness with Stepanek leading 6-3, 6-3, 0-6, 2-4.

Immediately following that match is No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic, who begins his quest for the career Grand Slam against Yen-Hsun Lu. No. 6 seed and local favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will finish out play for the men on Court Philippe Chatrier when he takes on qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany.
