The French Open got off to its traditional Sunday start, but a plethora of entertainment has been left for Monday and Tuesday as the first round heats up.

Death, taxes, and Spanish tennis players dominating on clay. Those may be the three certainties of life, and so far 2014 has done nothing to suggest otherwise.
