Rain delay at Roland Garros

Well, looks like a lot of matches got suspended until Friday due to rain. Including Martina's second round match. And I thought rain delays like these only happened at Wimbledon lol.

Darn it I was so looking forward to it because it was going to be on at a decent time.

Instead of 5am EST. Kim Clijsters match, Dementieva's and Kuznetsova's match were also cancelled. But of course since Justine Henin was one of the first matches out on court she's already through.

Yesterday Venus Williams made it into her 3rd round match as well.

So now Martina is going to have a full plate, since she was going to play mixed doubles tomorrow.

Now she'll have to play mixed doubles plus second round singles. And it gets worse, because of the rain delay she has no day off and plays on Saturday (3rd round match) and Sunday (fourth round match).

That's gonna be quite exhausting, I hope she's able to dispose of her opponents quickly so she can get some rest in between each match.

It'll be a challenge but I wish her all the best, hopefully since she's one of the fittest players on the tour she'll make it through.
