Heavy rain delayed meant play was abandoned on day nine of the French Open.
The bad weather that interrupted much of Sunday’s play continued into Monday when Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams and Dominic Thiem were all set to be in action.
Monday's play was meant to get underway at 9:00 GMT and initially it was thought that the weather would clear around lunch.
However, with little sign of the inclement weather clearing, the decision was taken just before 13:00 BST to abandon play for the day.
"Unfortunately the weather conditions do not allow us to start matches today. No matches will be played today and we apologise for this situation," an announcer told fans over the PA system.
"All matches are postponed till tomorrow."
It was the first time in 16 years that there had been a complete washout at Roland Garros.
