Foul weather, as much as anything else, has been the early theme at the French Open. Coming into the event, there was widespread dread over the two-week forecast, which made it look like the tournament had been relocated from Paris in spring to London in November. On Tuesday we saw the first evidence of that gloom, as play was stopped at Roland Garros for four hours due to a heavy, lengthy shower. In case it happens again this week, I’ll start today’s notebook with a rain delay recommendation.
