Thursday's packed schedule at Roland-Garros
Thursday promises to be a busy day at Roland-Garros, with 52 singles matches scheduled. None of the matches on the side courts could be completed on Wednesday due to rain, and 23 of the 32 scheduled had to be postponed. The roofs of Court Philippe Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen, inaugurated this year, enabled 9 matches to be completed.
Both roofs could come in handy again on Thursday. The weather services are forecasting rain again for mid-afternoon, but this time to a lesser extent. So, overall, tennis should be back on track.
