Friday's schedule at Roland-Garros: start of the 3rd round and no rain
After a long day on Thursday, marked by a 55-match jam on the Roland-Garros courts, and punctuated by multiple rain interruptions, things should calm down a little on Friday with the start of the 3rd round. At least as far as the sequence of matches is concerned, since only 16 singles matches (men's and women's) are scheduled on the Paris clay court.
As for the weather forecast, the rain should leave players, organizers and spectators in peace. Apart from a few drops in the late afternoon, the whole day should be dry, according to Météo France.
