Inclement weather has once again wreaked havoc on the 2016 French Open, as Monday's action has been canceled due to rain.

Top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams were each scheduled for fourth-round action. Those matches will be rearranged for Tuesday.

Djokovic, looking to complete the career Grand Slam, will take on 14th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut. The world No. 1 has won each of his first three matches in straight sets. Having made at least the semifinals in each of the last five years, Djokovic represents a Herculean hurdle for Bautista Agut. 

The Spaniard has never defeated Djokovic in four previous chances. Nole has lost just one set in those head-to-heads, at last year's U.S. Open.

Williams, the defending champion, is slated for a match with No. 18 seed Elina Svitolina. Williams has likewise not dropped a set through the first three rounds, though Kristina Mladenovic pushed her to the brink in a second-set tiebreak in Round 3. Svitolina is 0-3 against Williams in her career, and the pair last played in the Cincinnati Masters in 2015.

"Lots of disillusionment and a small loss of motivation," Williams' coach Patrick Mouratoglou said of her 2016 struggles, per Christopher Clarey of the New York Times. "But the desire is there now. She came to Rome to win the tournament. She's got it back. You feel it in the matches."

Other matches that were postponed include Tomas Berdych vs. David Ferrer, David Goffin vs. Ernests Gulbis, Dominic Thiem vs. Marcel Granollers, Timea Bacsinszky vs. Venus Williams, Madison Keys vs. Kiki Bertens and Carla Suarez Navarro vs. Yulia Putintseva.

Quarterfinals matches scheduled for Tuesday will also have to be moved back.

Weather has become a factor in Paris, with rain delaying action throughout the first week of matches. Off...
