The Latest: Play Suspended by Rain at French Open

There is at least one person who will enjoy the first rain delay of what is expected to be a wet day at Roland Garros.

Local hope Alize Cornet was off to a bad start in her fourth-round match against 19th-seeded Elina Svitolina on center court, trailing 3-0 after dropping her serve twice when their match was suspended after 21 minutes. The rain gives her the chance to refocus in the locker room as she bids to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.

On court Suzanne Lenglen, former Roland Garros champion Ana Ivanovic was up 3-2 against Ekaterina Makarova before ground crews rolled the covers over the red clay.
