French Open play delayed due to rain

Rain halts French Open play

Today's French Open action has been forced back by an hour due to wet weather conditions.

The remaining first-round matches were due to get underway at 10am UK time, but rain has caused officials to call off play before 12.15pm.

World number one Novak Djokovic will begin his campaign at Roland Garros with a clash against 22-year-old David Goffin, while Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka is also in action.

Meanwhile, British hopeful Heather Watson could make it onto the clay court to take on Stefanie Voegele in her first match since having time off for glandular fever.
