French Open braced for washout
Rain is forecast to keep falling throughout the day
Paris - Arab Today
The French Open was braced for a first washout since 2000 on Monday as torrential rain relentlessly drenched Roland Garros.
Rain fell from Sunday evening and through the night, resulting in organisers having to delay the scheduled start from 1100 (0900GMT) until 1200 (1000GMT) at the earliest.
Rain is forecast to keep falling throughout the day.
Two women's last-16 matches were suspended when heavy rain started to fall late Sunday.
Second seed Agnieszka Radwanska was 6-2, 3-0 up on Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova and sixth seed Simona Halep of Romania was leading Australian veteran Samantha Stosur 5-3.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
