Despite the torrential rain, the first round of the men’s singles finally got underway, with Australian Matthew Ebden taking on Serbian star Novak Djokovic.
On Saturday, only two courts were playable at Roland Garros, as they were covered. Other courts were covered with orange plastic sheeting to protect them from the elements.
The street skateboarding competition was also scheduled to start on Saturday at the La Concorde outdoor venue, but the event was postponed until Monday because the terrain had become too wet.
Rebel’s visit to Paris for the Olympics follows a vacation in Europe with her fiancé Ramona Agruma and their daughter Royce Lillian, 20 months old.
