ROLAND GARROS – The doubles have been … stymied so far this Roland Garros, being the first to be cancelled as the rain has prioritized getting through the singles.

Once again on Friday, only a few early matches went through.

Cana-Kiwi team Fernandez and Routliffe only got … three games in before their day ended.

One team pulled the plug; Mackenzie McDonald and his partner remained on the sked against Arevalo and Rojer because … they needed to play. And McDonald needed to get to Surbiton to start his grass court season.

So they finally got on, played one game, and retired.

They’ll try again on Sunday.
