Next up on Chatrier it’s Kei Nishikori against Italian Simone Bolelli.

Nishikori 6-1 7-5 6-3 Bolelli: Well, it stretched over two days, but that wasn't too much like strenuous work for Kei Nishikori.

Nishikori 6-1 7-5 4-3 Bolelli: Simone Bolelli has given Nishikori something to think about since he was swept aside in the first, but there should really be no question about the winner here. The Italian does seem to be struggling with his movement a touch, and Nishikori is forcing him to run.

It's 4.15pm BST on Monday, and Kei Nishikori is looking to finish off this match now.

There will be no more matches at Roland Garros today, it has just been announced. Play will recommence tomorrow at 11am GMT, 10am BST.

The rain coming down more heavily again. The spectators don’t like it and loud boos all around as they trudge off yet again. For how long, we don’t know. Disappointing.

NISHIKORI 6-1 7-5 2-1 BOLELLI: Nishikori not finding it easy at the moment but Bolelli nets a backhand slice and the Japanese holds a tough game to 30.

NISHIKORI 6-1 7-5 1-1 BOLELLI: Better from Bolelli as he finds his range to race to hold to 15. Nishikori looks disappointed that he didn’t break again!

NISHIKORI 6-1 7-5 1-0 BOLELLI: It’s drizzling again and Nishikori wants this over in a hurry. He races to a love hold with an ace.

NISHIKORI 6-1 7-5 BOLELLI: The Italian, in his snazzy palm tree shirt, goes 30-0 up but then Nishikori gets the better of two exchanges and a netted Bolelli forehand brings up another set point. Bolelli fires another forehand long and that’s the second set.

NISHIKORI 6-1 6-5 BOLELLI: Easy love hold for Nishikori and he forces Bolelli to serve to stay in this second set.

NISHIKORI 6-1 5-5 BOLELLI: Two hefty forehands for Bolelli before he nets a third and two more unforced errors put him in trouble. Nishikori forces a set point, saved with a heavy serve. A deft drop shot brings another for the Japanese but Bolelli digs deep to get out of a hole and hold.

Amazingly, my usually reliable Accuweather app still has constant rain falling in Paris until 19.00 BST. But the players are warming up. Hmmmm…. Play in 5 minutes, then.

Here come the ball kids and the linesman. Followed on by the players. Please rain, hold off….

Great news! The covers are coming off and play should resume shortly. That is after the warm-ups. So about ten to fifteen minutes.
