Well, Nole's playing today too and his play is actually suspended at the moment so they must have screwed his schedule too. And Andy is not even starting until tomorrow if you can imagine that. That's a major screw up then but I don't think, in reality, that it is. There's a lot going on behind the scene that we don't know. Top players do put through requests and sometimes the organizers do honour some of those wishes. I was told Federer often put through requests to play night matches. It's not coincidence that he tends to play most night matches than any other player especially in Slams
Nole gets broken the 2nd time in the 3rd set. Not a very bright set. And Sousa holds 4-5. Nole can still serve it out though. Strange 3rd set nonetheless.
Oh My God Benneteau and Bagnis. Finish the bloody match already.
benneteau is starting to get the cramps. he needs to finish it here.
GGL snatched the first set against Stan.
GGL still in the game. leads 5-2 in the 3rd set.
Well, the 3rd seed and one of the main contenders Stanman is gone and was bageled in the 4th set. What happened?
They came into this match with record 2 all on clay. But then again Stan has supposedly improved and I believe he has but Garcia-Lopez as a first rounder was definitely going to be a real thread.
So Day 2 has seen a couple of major upsets- Stan and Nishi. And what a match for Bagnis. I am really happy for him.
this was the very first time I saw the argentine play. he was certainly in no mood to go away today against benneteau.
what a battle between the two.
Stan basically got hustled by GGL today emma.
and in a way its not really a surprise considering the way GGL had been playing before arriving in Paris. he was solid and focused.
congrats to GGL and his fans.
not sure what is going on with Stan. he may be carrying an injury. I don't think he moved well enough today.
affirmative. tough break for nishikori.
here are the rest of the scores:

well we knew there was 90% chance for rain.
also they deliberately screwed with rafa's schedule. he was in the top 1/2 and the top seed. he should have been given a chance to play on the first day.
All of the slams fix the schedule to benefit their favorites. I have never seen Maria or Roger dogged out by the schedule in ten years, or given certain courts.
I remember Serena and Venus being stiffed many times while Maria gets to waltz in and get the prime time schedule time after time.
Only thing is, they don't realize that they're actually motivating them. So, the jokes on them.
