French Open Mens Final: Postponed to Monday

The rain on Sunday postponed the French Open Men's final match to Monday. A drizzle turned downpour, making the balls heavy, the clay court slippery, dampened Djokovic's bid to become the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive Grand Slam titles, and Nadal's attempt to become the first man to win seven titles at the tournament.

Moments later, play was suspended with the No. 2-seeded Nadal trying to protect a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead over a surging Djokovic, who's seeded No.1. Tournament referee Stefan Fransson said Djokovic told him the court was slippery, and Nadal was "not happy" while pointing out his complaints about the balls. A tarp was pulled over the court, and after another hour or so, the decision was made to stop for the day and resume on Monday. When the postponement was announced to the remaining fans in the stands, some responded with boos.
