Complete Washout At Roland Garros

Rain causes total washout for first time since 2000

Rain has cancelled all play on Monday at Roland Garros. It’s the first complete washout in Paris since exactly 16 years ago – 30 May 2000.

Play was due to begin at 11:00 a.m. local time, but tournament organisers were forced to call off play at 1:45 p.m. local time.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, a three-time runner-up at Roland Garros, had been due to play No. 14 seed Roberto Bautista Agut for a place in the quarter-finals. Seventh seed Tomas Berdych was scheduled to play 2013 runner-up David Ferrer, No. 12 seed David Goffin was set to challenge Ernests Gulbis and No. 13 seed Dominic Thiem was slated to meet Marcel Granollers.
