After three hours of fitful tennis on both sides of the net, the defending champion Rafael Nadal, up and a break down in the fourth set — and in tumult against Novak Djokovic — departed the sodden dirt of Court Philippe Chatrier raging against the dying of the light. He was not alone, but his voice was the angriest. The two best players in the world return on Monday afternoon to a venue expected to be watered even more comprehensively than it was yesterday, in the optimistic expectation of completing a French Open final that had promised — and might yet deliver — so much. The audience will consist of those citizens prepared to take another day off work there will be no refunds , or who are well-heeled enough not to care. If, however, Nadal does not rediscover the composure that gave him a two-set lead before he imploded on Sunday night, his reach for a seventh title at Roland Garros in eight years will be eclipsed by Djokovic's ambitions of winning his fourth grand slam title in a row — all against Nadal — and equalling the feat of Rod Laver 43 years ago. The skies, as gloomy as Nadal's mood, hung heavily over the capital, and then, as the players packed their bags, there was a minor explosion by the Spaniard. He had lost eight games in a row — a humiliation he had not experienced in any match here since his debut in — before hanging on to serve in the third game of the fourth set. The response was as unyielding as it had been to suggestions that play should have started earlier, given the weather forecast. Nadal had a point, but it was informed by self-interest and his own frustrations in failing to cope with the worsening conditions as effectively as the world No1 who, an hour earlier, had been floundering in his own pool of confusion.
