Day three at Roland Garros begins as day two ended - with heavy rain and no play French tennis chief Christian Bimes joins the 1983 champion to open the 'Allee Yannick Noah', marking 25 years since Noah's victory After the rain finally clears, Amelie Mauresmo opens proceedings against Olga Savchuk on Philippe Chatrier Court Former finalist Svetlana Kuznetsova has time to see off Aiko Nakamura 6-2 6-3 before the rain returns Dinara Safina is another to take advantage of the brief time on court as she beats Kateryna Bondarenko of Ukraine 6-1 6-3 After 90 minutes of action, the rain returns and the covers are pulled across Philippe Chatrier Court again What is bad news for tennis fans and players is clearly good news for umbrella salesmen When play resumes, fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko quickly wraps up victory over Swedish veteran Thomas Johansson Mauresmo comes through a low-quality scrap with Ukrainian Savchuk 7-5 4-6 6-1 after two-and-a-half hours Swiss number two Stanislas Wawrinka breezes past big-hitting German Philipp Kohlschreiber in between showers And unseeded Croat Mario Ancic is in equally impressive form as he sends Andreas Seppi crashing out at the first hurdle Marat Safin levels at one set all against Monaco's Jean-Rene Lisnard before the rain returns to bring play to an early finish
