Rain delays hit French Open qualifiers again in Paris

Heavy rain forced another postponement during the second day of the 2026 French Open qualifiers at Roland Garros, following similar disruptions on opening day. Most outdoor courts remained unplayable until at least 10:30 a.m. local time while tournament staff cleared standing water.

Officials announced that all matches except those on Court Suzanne-Lenglen were suspended after overnight rain soaked the clay. The only contest able to proceed under the roof featured Daphnee Mpetshi Perricard against Bianca Andreescu.
