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.

Before Ernests Gulbis took to court Suzanne Lenglen for quarterfinal action at the French Open on Tuesday, the last eight players who had knocked out Roger Federer in a Grand Slam had lost in the very next round. Not since Novak Djokovic at the 2011 U.S. Open had a player taken out Federer before winning his next match.
Eugenie Bouchard (Westmount, QC) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) tried to continue writing history on Tuesday at Roland-Garros as two Canadians were playing in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time.
For someone who swears she felt like a cow on ice each time she was competing on red clay only a few years ago, Maria Sharapova has made herself right at home on the surface, having won six of her last eight titles on terre battue. It has become her friend and a good friend indeed.
Perhaps it's just as well this country took a sabbatical at the French Open this year.

Francis Tiafoe of the United States, the No. 1 seed in the junior boys singles event at the French Open, crashed out in the second round on Monday with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 loss to Jan Choinski of Germany. Tiafoe comes in at No. 4 in the ITF junior rankings, while Choinski is 31st.
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.
The final Monday of Roland Garros arrived and all of the Americans were gone. There are no US players in the mix at Roland Garros anywhere; not in the singles and not in any of the vast combinations of doubles. The three who remained Monday morning have bombed out.
