Rain Pushes Conclusion Of Men's Final To Monday

PARIS (AP)—Whoever is going to make history at the French Open will have to wait at least one more day. The final between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic was called for the day because of rain Sunday with Nadal clinging to a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead. Nadal, going for his record seventh French Open title, and Djokovic, trying to become the first man in 43 years to win four straight major titles, played under a light drizzle for much of the match, which also included a 34-minute interruption in the second set. Not long after they returned after the first delay, the rain started again.
