Outer-court second-round play at Roland Garros has been washed out for the rest of Wednesday, as persistent rain continues to pour down on Paris. Those matches, both in progress and scheduled, have been postponed to Thursday at the earliest.
One of those in-progress matches is on upset alert: No.5 seed and reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova lost the first set to American qualifier Katie Volynets 6-0. However, Vondrousova reached a 4-1 lead in the second set before rain took over the grounds.
Play still occurred on the two stadiums with roofs on Wednesday. On Court Philippe Chatrier, World No.1 Iga Swiatek saved a match point and outlasted former No.1 Naomi Osaka, and 2020 runner-up Sofia Kenin ousted French No.1 Caroline Garcia.
On Court Suzanne Lenglen, No.3 seed Coco Gauff bested former semifinalist Tamara Zidansek, and No.8 seed Ons Jabeur overcame Camila Osorio in three sets.
