Yesterday at the French
In a weather-abbreviated day in which soggy conditions made the ball look like a lump of clay after long rallies, Stosur defeated Halep, who made no excuses, and Pironkova beat Aggie Radwanska, who did attribute her problems at least in part to the conditions.
Quite a tournament for Pironkova!

Now, on both the men's a women's sides of the draw, the top seeds have been relieved of the risk of playing key top players.  Djokovic will not have to face either Nadal or Federer, and Serena Williams won't have to play Kvitova, Azarenka or Halep.
