Bruce BostwickFrench Open Rund 1 - Day 3 Results & Highlights
May 28th 2008 02:59
Maria Sharapova No. 1 seed will have to wait till Wednesday to start her run at the French Open title.
The story of day three at Roland Garros was a continuation of day two. A total of 15 matches had to be suspended on Tuesday due to the rain, including No. 2 seeded Rafael Nadal’s match. Only 13 matches were completed, eight on the women’s side and five on the men’s. Wednesday’s schedule is loaded with round 1 and round 2 matches interlaced throughout the day. There are about 60 round one matches that still need to be played including #1 Maria Sharapova, #25 Lleyton Hewitt’s matches which didn’t even get started Tuesday, as well as Rafa’s match finishing, it got to 1-1 before being suspended. The rain better let up soon or we could be looking at three weeks at Roland Garros instead of two.
The No. 4 seeds on both side managed to finish their matches, Nikolay Davydenko, and Svetlana Kuznetsova won their matches easily, without allowing their opponent to score more than three points in a set.

it is funny to think that so many female tennis players looks hot on the court.
i mean, it doesn't happen so much with the other sports.
Hmm...maybe it is because tennis players are fitter.
Oh well,
Cheers
