Vorstellung » Brooks and Vishaul Singh to fold for 276 against the Sri

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Rain forced some postponements on Tuesdays schedule at the French Open, but not before former runner-up Samantha Stosur and Frances own Marion Bartoli posted opening-round victories. A 2 1/2-hour rain delay prevented play from getting underway on a chilly Day 3, and more rain came after players took to the courts at Stade Roland Garros. In between raindrops, the ninth-seeded Stosur got her work in, as the former U.S. Open champion and 2010 Roland Garros runner-up leveled 42-year-old Japanese Kimiko Date-Krumm 6-0, 6-2. "I was happy to get out there and start," said the Aussie veteran Stosur, who lost to Italian Francesca Schiavone in the final here three years ago. "It was spitting a little bit when we went out there. You think, Oh, are we going to start or are we not? Lucky for me I was able to finish the match before this last downpour came." Date-Krumm is the third-oldest woman to play at Roland Garros. The 29-year-old Stosur has reached at least the semifinals in Paris three of the last four years. The 13th-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up Bartoli went the distance to hold off game Belarusian Olga Govortsova 7-6 (10-8), 4-6, 7-5 in 3 hours, 11 minutes. Meanwhile, 18th-seeded former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic got past Slovakian veteran Daniela Hantuchova 6-4, 7-6 (9-7), 27th-seeded Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan outlasted American Coco Vandeweghe 6-0, 3-6, 6-2, and 31st- seeded Frenchwoman Alize Cornet handled Portuguese Maria Joao Koehler 7-5, 6-2. The former U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic of Serbia is a three-time French Open semifinalist. Cornet is fresh off her clay court title in Strasbourg, France. Also advancing on Day 3 were Spaniard Silvia Soler-Espinosa, Colombian Mariana Duque-Marino, and Frances Kristina Mladenovic. Third-seeded former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka was on Tuesdays schedule as the Australian Open champion and U.S. Open runner-up was slated to meet Russian Elena Vesnina, but that match was postponed until Wednesday, along with nine other opening-rounders.
