PARIS (AP) – The Latest from the French Open:

___

11 a.m.

The big losers on Sunday at Roland Garros could be the fans as weather forecasts don’t look good at all.

Covers have been removed on the two courts where big matches are taking place Sunday, but showers could break within the next hour according to the latest forecast.

With clouds rolling on over Paris, many of the fans that arrived early at the Roland Garros stadium have been wise enough to bring umbrellas and raincoats

Good news for now is that play has started on time after ground crews put finishing touches to the courts. Local local favorite Alize Cornet faces Elina Svitolina on court Philippe Chatrier and former champion Ana Ivanovic is up against Ekaterina Makarova on court Suzanne Lenglen.
