ROLAND GARROS – As much as we’ve come to expect rain every day so far during this soggy edition of Roland Garros, it didn’t look too bad for Saturday.

Until it did, early in the afternoon.

Canadian Bianca Andreescu, who had an energizing win over No. 23 seed Anna Kalinskaya late Thursday night, was to take on No. 12 seed Jasmine Paolini in the lovely confines of Court Simonne -Mathieu. In the end, she ended up on Court … 3 late into the evening.

No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka and No. 4 seed Elena Rybakina, who played early and with the Chatrier roof, didn’t have any issues.

(Paris is 6 hours ahead of EDT)
