Rain delay RG

[nocturnal012]

According to the weather channel it's going to rain in paris throughout the week. As far as I know they still haven't installed retractable roofs.. So what's going to happen with the games? Surely they can't postpone most of the games til next week if it really does rain out for the rest of the week? Do they play the matches even though it's light rain? One thing I hate about betting is getting my money tied up.

Matches will be postponed. Can't be playing in the rain it's too dangerous.
On the plus side, clay is the best surface for taking a bit of drizzle. They will likely play on if its very light.
Not so much at Roland Garros I don't think but at lesser tournaments they often water the court between sets. So there's the potential for a quick turnaround, whereas on a hard court they would be straight off and it would take hours for the court to dry.

Here comes the rain

[Demonata]

damn itttttttttttttttt

[GoBlue77]

god damn it, fukking rain. ok who gives a shit about the smaller BS tournaments but these majors need to have COVER.

Do you hear me US OPEN???

[Bet10Heinekens]

I hate it when this happen,
the player I bet on is kicking ass and all a sudden they have to stop play, hope its doesn't phuck up his mojo when they start playing again

[Demonata]

wonder how long the delay will be.

[Wilfred]

Hopefully Kuznetsov can get his head out of the gutter during this delay

Matches cancelled today (from Twitter):

[Demonata]

Cancel the bitches but finish the mens.

[Bet10Heinekens]

Play about to resume

[EaglesPhan36]

One covered court wouldn't make a huge difference. I think the Australian Open is the only tournament that has TWO courts with roofs. One court with a roof means that the "Center Court" matches would get played - the dozens of others on the smaller courts would still be delayed as they would at any other tournament.

well, having at least 1 covered court make the difference starting with the QF or SF, because they can move matches from the other courts to the covered one

[EaglesPhan36]

Obviously a big deal to have ONE at least for those later rounds, but these early ones would be getting pushed back mostly any how. Trust me, I can't believe these assholes have held out this long for getting LIGHTS - never mind covered courts ... LIGHTS.

[MUHerd37]

Supposed to rain as well.

Also, wish the community would stop hampering Roland Garros from renovating and upgrading.

French pippolzzz like tradition. Tradition disapproves of electric lighting and homos. It apparently approves of Naked Konga though...

The French and British with their obsessive need to uphold "tradition" as if basic modern upgrades in their sports would ruin their lives...sheesh...

[Bet10Heinekens]

They should get some matches in on Wednesday, but Thursday looks to be a wash out according to the forecast

Some say it's gonna be the new hell, well some say, it's still too early to tell, and some say, there really ain't no myth at all...

[MUHerd37]

Chance of rain is just 20% all day. They shouldn't have any problems.

[randygershom]

Yanina Wickmayer + Shuai Peng + Santiago Gonzalez/Scott Lipsky .... what do you think ...stake $50

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah unless something changes, don't expect much if any tennis on Thursday. After that though, looks good through the weekend with solid conditions.
