Serena Williams is first on Lenglen Court, unveiling a daring pink and purple outfit for the tournament
But Williams struggles against Tsvetana Pironkova and is 6-5 down when play is brought to a halt by rain
There is just time for Marat Safin to thrash Fernando Vicente before the rain arrives in Paris
Less than two hours into the first day of the 2007 French Open, the heavens open and the covers come on
Umbrella sales are up at Roland Garros as heavy rain falls for nearly six hours
Play eventually gets under way again at 5.30pm Paris time and Williams fights back from a set down to advance
Like Williams, defending champion Justine Henin is far from her best but sees off Elena Vesnina 6-4 6-3
