Rain is everyone Enemy at French Open

French Open match schedule was a bit messy because of the rain that fell and made ​​a couple of games to be stopped temporarily, and some even move today. Chance is always hovering round French Open title this year. On the third day, Tuesday (28/05/2013), rain fell from before the first game starts. New games can be held a few hours later.

In the middle of the game, rain back down and this time it lasted very long. The main court, Philippe Chatrier, could only finish two games. Novak Djokovic, who fell on both parties must wait seven hours of estimated time it should. Some matches are not completed or not even had time to be held later shifted to the fourth day.

Fifth day, the rain returned tragedy occurred. First rains when the game first runs. Djokovic dropped the second party in the Phillippe Chatrier again be a victim. This time the match against Guido Pella, about three hours late. Rain again interrupted the match in the second set, which forced them to enter the waiting room, before we can continue the match anymore.

Under these circumstances, a reasonable if players feel disturbed or upset. If you can not keep the body and remain mentally ready, players can lose the moment and eventually lost the match. So, what Djokovic do when dominate the game in the middle of the rain?

"When the game is delayed because of the rain, I did what everyone did. You know, sit down, eat, go to the toilet, back, waiting for when getting into the field. "

"It's like deja vu on two days ago (Tuesday), I went out and warmed up repeatedly. You can not fight nature. It's important to not get frustrated, "said the world number one, while waiting for second-round game against Pella, Thursday (05/30/2013).

Djokovic also fills his time by doing silly things like he used to do, among other things, he took the camera crew used to record television and put other players. Like Djokovic, other players also have to find a way to keep your emotions and stay focused.

With conditions like this, obviously the French Open need the roof, as has been done in the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

Plans are already there, but the players have to be patient because the new possibilities will be realized in 2018. While waiting for these plans become reality, Djokovic made ​​a proposal, which put up the lights, especially in the main field.

"It's very important (a roof). I've heard this will happen (in 2018), but I know they've thought of and are working on it. But this seems to still be a long time, "said the Serb.

"I think more is needed now is a light at center court as the game stopped every night at 09:00 or 09:30. If there is light, the match can continue in a few hours. I'm sure this is not a big project compared with the roof installation project. I hope this will be realized in one or two years, "added the finalists of 2012.

The new regulations originally designed for competitions organized by FIFA but Webb led the task force will recommend that sanctions apply universally.

"FIFA regulations adopt penalties against racism in 2001," said Webb, who is also vice-president of FIFA.
