Rain began in the wee hours of Wednesday morning and it continued most of the day, putting quite a hitch in the plans for quarterfinal play at Roland Garros. An umbrella was the most popular accessory.
Six of the top eight seeds are through to the French Open quarterfinals on the men's side. And the only two that are not--Stan Wawrinka and Roger Federer--have worthy replacements in the form of Gael Monfils and Ernests Gulbis. The result is a blockbuster lineup in the last eight.

Light--or lack thereof--is once again an issue at Roland Garros. As a result, we are still missing one of the eight fourth-round matchups as the season's second Grand Slam hits its second week. Safely through, however, are Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
No matter that Warren Buffett does not offer $1 billion for a perfect French Open bracket like he does for the NCAA basketball tournament. Nobody would come close. Among those in the third round are Jack Sock, Dusan Lajovic, and Donald Young.

The statistics for these two were almost eerily similar. Going into Novak Djokovic's fifth service game of the third set, each had five aces, and each had put in 65% of first serves. Djokovic had won only one more point. And Djokovic had had only one more break...
Is there some rule that says Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer can never be sound at the same time? Nadal, after a long bout of back problems, is back to defend his title at Indian Wells, but Ferrer -- who lost his opener last year -- will be unable to play; he is the top player missing.
This time, Tomas Berdych had his first serve working; he put sixty-odd percent of his first deliveries in the court. As a result, he was never broken. He's still only #7 in safe points, but he's in the soft half of the draw.
