French Open 2016: Monday Results, Highlights, Scores Recap from Roland Garros

For the second straight day, rain caused delays and scheduling snafus at the French Open. Once play got underway on Monday, though, it was an afternoon of desperate survival for the tournament's top seeds.

Stan Wawrinka and Andy Murray both spent their day looking vulnerable, with the latter still having to finish out his match after play was suspended because of darkness. There also were a number of upsets and narrow misses on the women's side.   

Wawrinka, the defending champion at Roland Garros, needed all five sets in a 4-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 comeback win over Lukas Rosol. The Swiss totaled 46 unforced errors and struggled throughout with his return game. Rosol, who made the third round last year in Paris, had nine aces against one double-fault. There were only six breaks overall in the entire match.

“He was going for his shots all the time, not missing much,” Wawrinka told reporters, per Ravi Ubha of CNN.com.

ESPN Stats & Info provided context:

It's fair to wonder how much fatigue played a factor. Wawrinka was just days removed from winning the Geneva Open, which caused him to arrive in France later than his competitors.

“For sure it's late arriving for a Grand Slam, especially if you want to go far in a Grand Slam, but I think I'm feeling good. I'm feeling fit," Wawrinka said Sunday at a press conference.

There was no such excuse for Murray, well-rested coming off a win in Rome and seemingly given a gimme in 37-year-old Radek Stepanek. The world No. 2 fell behind a set early amid some struggles with his serve. Stepanek converted both of his break-point opportunities in the 6-3 win, taking 16 of 34 receiving points overall.

The trend continued in the second, with Stepanek converting two of three break tries and escaping with a 6-3 win despite a trio of double-faults. He had 12 winners to a frustrated Murray's six.

The Brit returned to dominant form in the third set, blanking Stepanek to get back in the match. His run of momentum continued in the fourth as he earned an early break, carrying a 4-2 lead in the set before darkness set in.

ESPN Stats & Info again provided interesting numbers:

As for upsets, Marco Trungelliti pulled off a big one by taking down 10th-seeded Marin Cilic. The 26-year-old Argentinian, who came into Roland Garros ranked No. 166 in the world, had 35 winners and broke Cilic six times. Cilic has never gone past the fourth round in France, though this is his first opening-round exit since 2011. He can thank his 49 unforced errors for the short trip.

The remainder of the men's bracket largely went as planned. Eighth-seeded Milos Raonic moved on in straight sets, as did Gilles Simon. American Jack Sock held on for a five-set comeback victory over Robin Haase in a match that began Sunday. Fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori also resumed his straight-sets win over Simone Bolelli.

On the women's side, you didn't have to look hard to find a top seed in trouble. Fourth-seeded Garbine Muguruza dropped the first set 3-6 before taking consecutive 6-3 sets to Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. Muguruza committed 22 unforced errors in the first set and 53 overall but won on the back of 44 winners.

"Roland Garros is a special tournament in Spain, obviously because of Rafa and for the other Spanish players who have won it," Muguruza said to reporters after the match. "Everybody dreams of winning Roland Garros. The Spanish School of Tennis is also on clay, so it's the tournament everybody wants to win."

The day turned into a one-and-done for seventh-seeded Italian Roberta Vinci, who went down in a 6-1, 6-3 flameout against Kateryna Bondarenko. Vinci had only 10 winners against 21 unforced errors. She lost on 76 percent of her second-serve points and was broken six times in the blowout.

Fellow Italian Sara Errani had an equally dispiriting exit, losing 6-3, 6-2 to Tsvetana Pironkova. Errani won less than half of her first-serve points, while Pironkova earned her upset on the back of 28 winners and a dominant first serve.

Second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and sixth-seeded Simona Halep both cruised in straight-sets victories.

"Well, I think I'm getting better. Of course I was doing everything in those last couple of weeks to move better. I think that's the key on clay," Radwanska said, per Bojana Bobusic of the French Open website.

Still, the biggest factor so far in France has been the weather. Darkness halted Murray's comeback bid and may wind up leaving him cold when play resumes Tuesday. Or, a positive thinker may point out the aging Stepanek may have trouble keeping his legs for a second straight day.

Either way, the year's second major is off to a raucous start despite the downpour.
