Rain hampers play on Day 3 at French Open
PARIS — Play began Tuesday at the French Open after a rain delay of 2½ hours that left center-court spectators longing for the tournament's planned retractable roof.
About 90 minutes after it started, the rain, and the delays, returned.
There were some completed matches before the second stoppage of play: Sam Stosur of Australia defeated Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan 6-0, 6-2. Qualifier Mariana Duque-Marino beat Kristyna Pliskova 6-2, 6-0. In men's play, No. 26 Grigor Dimitrov advanced when Alejandro Falla retired with indigestion trailing 6-4, 1-0.
The schedule, barring more rain, included the two champions from the Australian Open in January, No. 1-seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Victoria Azarenka.
Tournament officials began cancelling matches, mostly the fourth scheduled match up on each court, which included Azarenka.
Monday's TV schedule (times Eastern):
•5-10 a.m., ESPN2
