| Tennis-Watertight Djokovic stays on course, Li sinks Thursday, May 30, 2013 12:37 PM PDT By Martyn Herman PARIS, May 30 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic had a simple solution to the rain showers that continued to play havoc at the French Open on Thursday but the weather got the better of former women's champion Li Na whose hopes were sunk at a soggy Roland Garros. World number one Djokovic needed just an hour and 26 minutes to thrash Argentina's Guido Pella 6-2 6-0 6-2 to reach the third round after a lengthy wait to get on court. There was only frustration and lots of twiddling of thumbs, however, for defending champions Rafa Nadal and Maria Sharapova. ... Full Story | Top |

Yet as the world number one's credentials were given the lightest of examinations in a 6-2 6-0 6-2 win over Argentina's Guido Pella, the world number 101, there were question marks about how much entertainment was being served up. ...

Stakhovsky, who was later fined $2,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct, posted the picture taken during his first-round defeat by Richard Gasquet on his Twitter feed. ... Full Story | Top |
