PARIS — The French Open had its first rainout in three years on Wednesday, with daylong showers at Roland Garros forcing the postponement of the four scheduled quarterfinals in men’s and women’s singles before they began.
This figures to be one of the last complete rainouts in Grand Slam history. Starting next year, Roland Garros will have a retractable roof over the main Philippe Chatrier Court, making it the last of the four Grand Slam events to have at least one weatherproof stadium to allow matches to continue in any weather.
