Roland Garros 2010 Day 5 Open Thread

Rain falls on the court cover of  the central court after rain  prevented matches from starting in the French Open tennis championship  at the Roland Garros stadium, on May 27, 2010, in Paris. French Open  organisers were under siege on Thursday after allowing a match to be  played in darkness, while also confronting a second day of rain  interruptions.

After nearly a five-hour rain delay, live tennis is underway. American Andy Roddick is playing clay court tennis against Blaz Kavcic, a Slovenian clay court challenger who dismissed Argentinean clay court player Edwardo Schwank in the first round and became the first Slovenian male to ever win a Slam match. As per John McEnroe.

Because of the delay, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal, both scheduled last on their respective courts, have already been sent home.

Later the Gael Monfils, Fabio Fognini debacle from last night's darkness will commence after Jelena Jankovic cleans the dirt with her opponent. One would think, after all the wait, they would have put them first up. But that would have been too much like right.

Here's hoping the feisty one can send the clownish one home.
