Rafael Nadal was beating Bolelli 6-4, 6-3, 0-3 before bad weather forced them off the court just before 7pm BST. The players were unable to return to court that night, with the match
rescheduled to start again no earlier than 12pm this afternoon. They will have to wait until Marin Cilic’s match against James Duckworth is finished on Court Philippe-Chartrier. But could
they face a further delay to the action? According to the current weather forecast for Paris it states there is a strong chance for light rain this morning with heavier showers and possible
thunderstorms later this afternoon. The current forecast is for light rain to continue for at least the next two hours, just as Nadal will be due on court. The Spaniard is seeking an 11th
French Open title and a 17th career Grand Slam victory this summer. And he enters the tournament as huge favourite with no Roger Federer to compete with while Novak Djokovic - the only man
in the field to have beaten him at Roland Garros - is still making his way back from a rough injury. Alexander Zverev is the No 2 seed and made light work of his first round match against
Ricardas Berankis, winning 6-1, 6-1, 6-2. The German will now face Dusan Lajovic in the next round with the game scheduled to take place tomorrow, weather permitting.
