Organisers made the decision to halt play due to darkness just as home favourite Monfils had clinched the second set to send the crowd into a frenzy.

That buzz was soon deflated by the decision to end today's action there and then, with the weather causing such delays that the contest between the Frenchman and the Swiss legend could not be completed in one day, and that two women's contests - including Maria Sharapova v Lucie Safarova - did not even start.
