First rain delay of 2025 French Open as players forced off court

The first rain delay is here at the 2025 French Open with players forced off court on Sunday afternoon.

Zheng Qinwen is in the early stages of her opener against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and is currently 3-0 up on the Russian but it won’t be affected due to it being on a show court.

It was thought perhaps that it would hit earlier with Eva Lys managing to dodge it to win through against Peyton Stearns. While Aryna Sabalenka albeit with a roof if needed thrashed Kamilla Rakhimova.

Reilly Opelka, Tommy Paul among others are currently off court albeit there is cause for optimism with the rain not expected to delay proceedings for too long.

These games won’t be affected on the show courts.
