French Open 2015: Results, Highlights, Friday Scores Recap from Roland Garros

The 2015 French Open men's singles final is only half set after an enthralling afternoon at Roland Garros on Friday.

That was before the threat of rain came. The match was suspended at 2:33 p.m. ET. It will resume Saturday at 7 a.m. ET, according to Eurosport.

Friday Recap

In the match's early stages, it seemed that the pressure of playing in his second-ever French Open semifinal was taking its toll on Le Mans native Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. A sloppy first set gave Wawrinka a comfortable 6-3 victory.

Once he found his bearings, Tsonga was able to recover and grind out a 7-6 victory with a dominating 7-1 tiebreak. It was one of the only times in the match he was able to dictate with his pinpoint shots down the lines. 

Wawrinka was masterful at handling Tsonga, utilizing a powerful backhand to relegate the Frenchman into playing a defensive brand for most of the afternoon.

There were still plenty of mesmerizing shots—especially from Tsonga.

But Wawrinka was merciless, taking the third set 7-6 with a 7-3 tiebreak and coolly moving his way through to the final with a 6-4 fourth-set win, despite needing medical treatment for a blistering finger on his right hand.

While the unforced error has been a thorn in Wawrinka's side, he was able to overcome 48 of them on his way to victory. Tsonga fared worse, though, committing 53 unforced errors. 

Sunday will mark the first appearance in a French Open final for Wawrinka, a French-speaking Swiss native. He discussed his win with the New York Times' Christopher Clarey: "A Roland Garros final is a dream for me. It’s a tournament I appreciate. I feel at home even though the French fans are of course supporting the French. It’s the tournament I watched when I was young, and I’ve always loved playing on clay."

Against a power player like Tsonga, Wawrinka's serve came in handy. Combining speed and precision, Wawrinka recorded 15 total aces on the afternoon. And his return play was just as solid.

The day's second match of Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray was set to be a clinic—a closely contested affair between two of the game's very best. 

The problem was, Djokovic was the only one to show up. 

Murray looked flat, and the world's No. 1 player was having a field day. With two 6-3 set wins, it was looking all but over in the first hour and 15 minutes. Djokovic had an answer for everything Murray was throwing at him. And he was doing it in style.

It seemed like fatigue started getting to Djokovic, though, and Murray started clawing his way back. The Scotsman's first break point of the match did not come until two hours and 19 minutes in, taking the third set 7-5 and doing so in overpowering fashion.

It was after the set and with Murray holding momentum that Djokovic sought medical help, leaving the court for approximately five minutes. Upon re-entering, he dropped to a 2-1 deficit but won two straight to take a 3-2 lead when play was halted due to rain.
