The rain has been a real wet blanket at this year’s Roland Garros, halting the play on several occasions. As the organizers announced that Monday’s play will be delayed at least till 1:00 p.m. (local time), Roland Garros, via Twitter, seeked the services of the Wimbledon Roof, offering it a one-week contract for a 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. job and also promising it strawberries and cream.
The tweet was deleted a few minutes after it was posted. The offer was a response to Wimbledon Roof's twitter account asking if it should help cover the stadium at Paris.
