Play Resumes On All Courts After Rain At Roland Garros

Play has resumed on all courts at Roland Garros after rain had halted action on Monday at 1:02 p.m. local time.

The action continued throughout the two-hour, eight-minute delay on Court Philippe Chatrier, where Spaniard Rafael Nadal and World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will be starting their title quests on Philippe Chatrier later, following the completion of two WTA singles matches.

The 13-time champion Nadal will open against Australian Jordan Thompson, while reigning titlist Djokovic will start the defence of his crown against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka not before 8:45 p.m. in the first night match of the tournament.

Despite the early rain, there was still time for Filip Krajinovic to notch the first victory of the day, as the Serbian upset 17th seed Reilly Opelka with a 7-6(5), 6-2, 6-3 win.

American Taylor Fritz is in a tight battle with Argentine qualifier Santiago Rodriguez Taverna. The Indian Wells champion Fritz resumes with a 7-6(2), 3-6, 3-1 lead.

Former World No. 3 Stan Wawrinka will get his campaign underway against French wild card Corentin Moutet on Court Suzanne Lenglen, while 10th seed Cameron Norrie begins against French wild card Manuel Guinard on Court Simonne Mathieu.
