French Open 2015 Results: Sunday Scores, Updated Roland Garros Draw Predictions

A rare bit of rain threw off the Sunday schedule at the 2015 French Open, preventing several matches from reaching their conclusion.

With light fading quickly at Roland Garros, No. 13 Gael Monfils brought his match against No. 2 Roger Federer level on sets at 3-6, 6-4 before tournament officials suspended play. There is a bright side to this development, as it means the Big Four in men's tennis will all be in action on Monday, a treat for fans everywhere.

Day 8 saw two postponements in the women's singles draw. No. 13 seed Lucie Safarova didn't get a crack at No. 2 Maria Sharapova, and No. 28 Flavia Pennetta will have to wait to try and upset No. 21 Garbine Muguruza.

There was still plenty of time for a notable upset, as Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga reached the quarterfinals by defeating No. 4 Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3. Tsonga—along with Monfils, Richard Gasquet and unranked Jeremy Chardy—is looking to become the first Frenchman to win the French Open since Yannick Noah pulled off the feat in 1983.

Here's a look at Friday's notable scores, followed by the updated draw for Monday and predictions for the day's matchups.

Monday Matchup To Watch: Roger Federer vs. Gael Monfils

This is a bit of a cheat pick since they've already played two sets, but it's tough to discount this matchup between the sliding, shot-making Monfils and the ultra-cool Federer. Plus, the raucous cheers from the crowd and the fiery look in Monfils' eyes as he finished off the second set Sunday have this one looking like it could take five sets to decide. 

At times, Monfils seems to adopt something of a laissez faire attitude toward tennis, not quite upset if he fails so long as he dazzles with his placement and athleticism. At Roland Garros, however, Monfils feels the pressure, although he considers it a boon rather than burden.

"Yeah, for me (the pressure) is more helpful, definitely," Monfils said after his second-round win, per USA Today's Nick McCarvel. "No question about it for me. (It) always helps me ... Actually, it's much better that way. Today I won because I had the crowd behind me."

Monfils hasn't quite been in his finest form thus far at the French Open, needing five sets to dispatch both Diego Schwartzman and No. 21 Pablo Cuevas in the second and third rounds, respectively.

Contrast that with Federer, who hadn't dropped a set in Paris until Monfils got to him late Sunday, and it would seem the Swiss master is in proper form to smooth his jagged play over and dispatch the Frenchman. Plus, Federer often seems to use Monfils as a springboard to greater success at Roland Garros, per the location's official Twitter account:

But Monfils' magic appeared to be on hand in the second set Sunday. ESPN's Howard Bryant was impressed with his shot-making ability:

Monfils' power was also on display, amassing a 4-1 advantage on aces after two sets, per RolandGarros.com. Federer himself looked frustrated at times and has committed 21 unforced errors to Monfils' 17 thus far.

The extra day of rest also affords Monfils time to recover from his two marathon matches, wiping away much of the obvious advantage that Federer had coming into this contest.

ESPN.com's Peter Bodo did note that Federer's game is well-suited to handling a player like Monfils, even though the Frenchman has a 4-8 record against Fed:

"

Monfils tends to revel in his own athleticism, which leads him to rely too much on defense. Being able to run down apparent winners can really pay off against a typical 33-year-old opponent, but Federer isn't typical, and neither is his game. In addition to his own excellent defense, he's expanded his offense.

"

Monfils will of course make his fair share of mistakes that the unflappable Federer will no doubt capitalize on, but the jubilant home crowd and his ability to cover the baseline on clay should propel him to another hard-fought win at Roland Garros.

Prediction: Monfils in five.
