A torrential downpour occurred in France on Sunday, washing out nearly the entire first day of action at Roland Garros and putting the 2016 French Open in a scheduling crunch.

Only 10 matches of the limited first-day action got done before French Open officials were forced to call it quits. Six more were in progress and will conclude Monday, along with the additional 16 matches that did not even have a first serve.   

Men's fifth seed Kei Nishikori will look to finish off Simone Bolelli in straight sets. Nishikori held a 6-1, 7-5, 2-1 lead before the rain kicked in. 

Meanwhile, No. 23 Jack Sock will be entering the fifth set of a potential thriller with Robin Haase. Sock won the first two sets 6-3, 7-5 before faltering and allowing Haase to take momentum. The 29-year-old Netherlands native won the third set 6-3 and finished off a tiebreak 7-6 (3) to force a deciding set. Sock, 23, is attempting to build on a fourth-round appearance at last year's French Open. 



On the women's side, 13th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova is trying to avoid an upset of her own. She dropped the first set to Yaroslava Shvedova 4-6 before roaring back with a 6-1 win in the second. After moving up a break, Kuznetsova will hold a 3-1 lead when she returns to action.

But more than anything, Monday will be a huge day for feature matches as the true contenders finally get into action. 

Men's second seed Andy Murray and third seed Stan Wawrinka both look to start their journeys to a French Open title against unseeded opponents. Murray faces Radek Stepanek, while Wawrinka will try to dispatch of Lukas Rosol.

A semifinalist each of the last two years, Murray's looking to take the next step after splitting with coach Amelie Mauresmo. Murray is coming off a triumph over Novak Djokovic in Rome and said he's ready to take the next step on clay.&nb...
